Bouembolat - legally setting fire to live animals

Yesterday a ban on bull fighting was announced in Catalan in Spain.

But "bouembolat" is still legal.

What is it? It's setting fire to balls of wax that are stuck on to the horns of a live bull.

You gotta admit it adds a whole new dimension to the bull run. I mean it's one thing being chased down the road by an irate bull , but one that's on fire! well that's a whole new level of lunacy.

Jokes aside pure caveman stuff.

Fucking disgusting, and they are part of the EU, shameful.

Fucking disgusting

I agree.

Only cooking the horns is a bit too rare.

Revenge of the beasts
MADRID — Spain's Interior Ministry says a youth was gored to death during a running of bulls at a festival in a small north-central town over the weekend.
Ministry chief for Zamora province Pilar de la Higuera says 19-year-old Ivan Tejero Morales died instantly Saturday after being gored in the chest in the town of Fuentesauco during a pre-dawn bull run held as part of the town's annual festival.
The official said Monday that Tejero Morales was treated by doctors at the scene, but could not be saved.
On Tuesday the famed San Fermin festival begins in the northern city of Pamplona. Each year dozens of people are injured, and last year's festival saw the first goring death in nearly 15 years.
