At least 80 people were injured during a bullfight in Colombia when stands in an overcrowded stadium collapsed underneath the crowd.
Some 500 spectators screamed in panic and scrambled for safety as, following the collapse, the bull charged towards crowds at the stadium in Planadas, in the south of the country.

chrispej says on Jul 23, 2008, 21:33: I'll think about how cruel bull fights are the next time I go to the butcher or the meat department in the supermarket. I'll agree the sport (if you want to call it that) isn't fair, but I believe it tries to be as humane as possible. So anyway, the next time you are in a supermarket selecting a piece of packaged beef or poultry, please give a call so I can come by a stick a huge sword through your package.
