PETA states:
During the Great Bull Run events, organizers send as many as three dozen panicked bulls, weighing nearly one ton each, barreling down a narrow track at up to 35 miles per hour, chasing fleeing runners—many of whom have been drinking alcohol. Veterinary experts have concluded that the event also causes unnecessary suffering and stress to the animals.
Organizers blamed a county fire prevention engineer for overstepping his duties to declare a public safety concern in connection with the Run’s tent permit application.
