Bull Kills Man at Running of the Bulls Festival

Spanish authorities revealed that a man died from injuries inflicted by a bull during a running of the bulls festival in eastern Spain. The bull injured the Spanish man during the festival held in the town of Pobla de Farnals in the Valencia region on Saturday. Officials said on Sunday that the man was taken to the hospital but later died. They added that the same bull also injured another man in the leg, but he is in stable condition in the hospital. Bulls are released into the streets, and participants in the festival run ahead of them in a tradition followed by more than 1,820 Spanish municipalities each year, according to a recent survey by two animal rights advocacy groups. Such events are popular, but many activists claim they are dangerous and reckless. The debate over their continuation has intensified in recent years.
