The festival, which reportedly brings more than a million tourists to the area each year has been running since 1910. However, in recent years more activists have been protesting the event as a cruel and unnecessary form of animal cruelty for entertainment purposes. 

Unnecessary Deaths Mar The Festival 

Over the years, sixteen people have been killed as a result of the running of the bulls, with the last death occurring 10 years ago in 2009. It is unknown how many bulls have been killed or injured as a result of the event, however according to PETA each bull that partakes in the event are later killed.
