There are critics who say Hemingway never ran with the bulls, but there are photos showing him in the street in Barcelona, the bulls close on his heels.
Writers should be given enough artistic license to make good fiction.
A lived life is worth more than a mililion pictures.
desgraciados los que hacen turismo con el sufrimiento de los animales!
Yesterday the Second Running of the Bulls (pictured here) was quite a party.
Hundreds of drunken humanoids taunting and provoking a pack of terrified captive animals in a narrow street as they charged to their inevitable death in the bullring.
Seven people were gored, six of them tourists. (There were also seven sexual assaults.)
A 53 year old woman from Arizona said she was scared and turned her ankle in escaping but is still glad she did it because it was so thrilling it almost made her feel real.
"The nine-day fiesta became world famous with Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises and attracts thousands of foreign tourists."
A video of this obscene spectacle of touristical atavism:
Segundo Encierro San Fermín 2016 (Completo) - Largo y Peligroso | Viernes 8 de Julio | Running of the Bulls
Some comments from viewers on the video:
Lamentable tradicion.
Sanferminos, donde los hombres escapan de las vacas y las mujeres de los violadores.
De verdad estamos en el primer mundo?
sobra mucho giri borracho... mi opinion
gallegos putos
All in all, one supposes the event will cause next year's version to draw more drunken American turistas than ever before, and perhaps there will even be a new edition of that piece of trash the fake tough guy from the snow white suburban Midwest wrote about it.
