Love those Bullfights , especially when the Bull gets His , Before he gets His !
BBC
A bull has injured 40 people after jumping out of the arena at a Spanish bullring and marauding through the crowd.
TV footage shows spectators trying to restrain the animal - one fan grabs its tail - as it careers through the stands.
Most of the injured were treated for cuts and bruises, officials in the northern town of Tafalla said.
But nine people were taken to hospital in nearby Pamplona.
Among them was a 10-year-old boy who apparently suffered multiple bruising when the bull fell on him, and a 24-year-old who was gored.
The animal was brought under control after several minutes and was later killed.
Analysts say bulls occasionally leap security fences at bullrings but they rarely make it into the crowd.

BARCELONA (Reuters) - The Catalan parliament dealt the death blow to bullfighting in the region on Wednesday, outlawing the centuries-old spectacle for the first time in mainland Spain.
The result of 68 in favor, 55 against the ban was expected, since Catalonia's parliament had accepted a citizens' petition to stop bullfighting with activists concerned about animal cruelty battling devotees of the renowned Spanish tradition.
In the debate, some lawmakers cited the declining popularity of bullfighting in Spain, where fewer people go each year to the arena to watch toreros in their distinctive "suits of lights" wield red capes and swords at close range against enraged bulls.
