The Running of the Idiots - dominated by drunks and American students

I hope these ladies realize that the cows of the Spanish fighting breeds are actually more ferocious and dangerous than the bulls... The encierro in Pamplona has been for decades now dominated by drunks and American students (often one and the same thing) which led to its unofficial renaming as "the running of the idiots". I've never heard of a bull fatality in its course but plenty about human ones. Some quite gruesome pictures of the latter can be found at http://www.sanferminencierro.com/ .

Women demand their own running of the bulls in Pamplona--but with cows
These frightened and purposely maddened bulls can only run one way -- toward the bullring
