Another thing I don't understand. A 27 year old man dies in Pamplona last week during his 7th running of the bulls. The entire episode seems to be captured on video, but I was too gore-shy to look.
The bull, named Capuchino, is then killed by a matador at a bullring in Pamplona
I don't have the deep cultural context to understand this, but it does appear ridiculous that
a. the bulls are marketed from being from violent, goring stock
b. that somebody would voluntarily do this seven times in a row.
Just a tragedy. I wish it hadn't happened.

For a full explanation of this phenomenon may I recommend The Sun also Rises by Hemingway? (I just read it.)
