Man killed by bull at festival in Spain

A man passed away and his friend hurt during a festival where people run with bulls in the east of Spain, according to officials.

A 61-year-old man got stabbed in his side during an event in the town of Pobla de Farnals in the Valencia region on Saturday. He had an urgent operation but passed away on Sunday.

His 63-year-old friend was hurt in both legs by a bull. He is now in a stable condition at the hospital.

Many people are hurt or killed during bull-running festivals in Spain.

Every year in Spain, there are many events where bulls are let loose on city streets and people run in front of them.

Animal rights groups have been saying for a long time that both people and animals are in danger.

But the yearly events still have a lot of people who like them.

The bull-running season helps Valencia’s economy a lot.

A study conducted in 2019 discovered that it resulted in the creation of over 3,000 job opportunities and generated €300 million by hosting nearly 10,000 events each year.
