Some campaigners broke past police to complete the bull run naked
Animal rights activists have stripped naked to protest against the running of bulls through the northern Spanish city of Pamplona.
Activists from all over Western Europe had planned to run nude along the route for the annual event, which begins on Sunday, but police said the protest was unauthorised and blocked their way.

But about 20 men and women managed to breach the police cordon near the city centre and stripped off completely.

Some of the demonstrators put on plastic horns or fake bull's heads, Reuters news agency reported.

They were joined by scores of other protesters who kept on all or part of their clothing.

Lemme get this straight. Later this week, bulls are gonna be running down this street, trampling anyone stupid enough to be in their way. And these guys think that showing their "package" is gonna impress anyone?

Well, not everyone in this world can be normal. I've never understood what the point of such a tradition is. If I want to be chased, I'll ask my husband to chase me down the street or something.

It's a payback for the bull-fighting :) It's also machismo gone haywire...in the days when there is a week-long party on the street and the amount of alcohol consumed would frighten even the fine members of OTC.

I've seen the pics. Every street is lined with empty bottles of alcohol...piled 3-4 bottles deep...AND they're cleaned up 3 times per day. I've walked the path where the bulls run...slippery cobblestone streets, and I know that the majority of those who run with the bulls are not Spanish, but tourists. If you ever get a chance to see it..look for the locals (they're wearing red bandanas and red belted-shawls. They're also outnumbered about 6 to 1 by idiotic 'about to be trampled' tourists.
 
Personally, I don't understand why the animal 'activists' are upset. Here's the perfect chance for the animals to trample a human, and they want to interfere? Perhaps, if they truly believed in their cause, they should lied down in front of the bulls, and get as many humans trampled as possible...:grinyes:
