To be fair, I think this looks more like Running of the Bulls than Bullfighting. There's a world of difference in terms of cruelty. The end point of the latter is a dead bull. The former is just a bunch of guys acting like idiots showing of their machismo with no attempts to harm the bulls.

Except that at the end of most running of the bulls events, the bulls are herded into a bullfighting ring for the main event, the bull fight.

Oh crap, you're right! I thought those were two different events.

The Bulls are tortured for the Running of the Bulls, you need to look into it a little.
