Within seconds of the starting rocket, one of the bulls of the Victoriano del Río farm had already gored a 40 year-old Pamplona native in the lower back.  And in the brief two minutes that followed in the sixth-fastest  encierro on record the famously fast bulls of this renowned farm sent six others to local hospitals.  A 42 year-old gentleman from Castilla La Mancha was gored in the right arm at the treacherous turn on to Estafeta street.  All the human victims are expected to make a quick recovery.  The bulls, however, will soon be on tapas menus throughout Pamplona’s historic center.
