People were taken aback after seeing this video. Many talked about the barbaric traditions like bullfights still persisting in many parts of the world.
One user said, "Here in Spain they still do this type of barbarity and they are allowed, they are considered tradition. Before, in almost all the towns they did it, luckily they do it less and less."

Well that went about as well as it could go¡ for the bull. As expected! Most likely outcome, when trying to run away from a bull after setting his horns on fire, goading it, then attempting to run up the stairs away from it¡

This incident occurred at the Toro de Jubilo or the ¡®Fire Bull¡¯ festival. This is a Spanish tradition dating back to the 16th century, which is held at midnight in the town of Medinaceli. The festival generally starts with a bull tied to a post and flammable tarballs are attached to his horns. Mud is caked on the face and back of the bovine to protect it from flames.
The tarballs are set on fire and the bull is released. Participants are then supposed to dodge the raging bull.
