Not Safe for Bulls

The Big Picture has collected amazing images of The Festival of San Fermin, 2010. NSFW or bulls. Personally I feel these images sum up the barbarity of bullfighting.
From the site: "Today marks the final day of the Spanish festival of San Fermin, a nine-day festival held since 1591. Tens of thousands of foreign visitors descend on Pamplona, Spain each year for revelry, morning bull-runs and afternoon bullfights. Although the tradition of bullfighting remains strong in Pamplona, opposition from animal rights groups remains high, and the parliament of the nearby Spanish province of Catalonia will soon be voting on a motion to outlaw bullfighting altogether."

This post was deleted for the following reason: Big Picture is awesome but we've seen it an awful lot and the editorial tag on this post is really more something for your own blog than for the front page. -- cortex
All this post is missing is a Roger Ebert quote and a link to The Onion.

They're still gonna keep those sexy matador outfits, though, right?

Red Bull is missing a fabulous sponsorship opportunity here.
May be difficult to brand.

It's difficult when the bulls are literally red.

There are things we humans do that are really hard to fix. This is easy to fix. Stop it.

This is one of the nations that objects to the Newfoundland & Labrador seal hunt? (I also notice the bleeding bullshots are all marked "may be objectionable" but the one of the matador with his ear almost torn off happily lights right up. Score one for the bulls.)
