Born Hunter 17,656 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I genuinely think traditions like this are a products of millennia of Palaeolithic initiation rights and ritual. The hunting of megafauna was central to our ancestors lives for so long that I really do believe it’s genetically hard coded. ‘Civilised’ ways of scratching that itch manifest in all sorts of ways. I’m not making a moral argument for it but I’m a believer in being very cautious in forcing people away from their nature. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have a telly in the house mate, so can't say for certain though. I always watch the bull runs in the bars on a morning (During the Pamplona week), having my coffee. Like I said it's a big thing still, all the old boys get right into it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They see it as 1. A bit of a cop out, hiding in numbers and 2. Funny as fuuck because injuries are guaranteed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
