CMV: The running of the bulls should be expunged from Spanish culture

The Running of the Bulls is about to start, a festival of intentional animal cruelty starting with panicked bulls forced to run down narrow streets and frequently harm themselves and culminating in the ritual torture and killing of the bulls during bull "fights". In reality these are not fights, but an art form of sequential injuries inflicted on the bulls from lances, harpoons, darts, and swords

Art may be about pain, but it should not be about *causing* pain. These events should be immediately canceled and never held again.
