Bulls Rampage: 2 Dead at Mexico Festival

The 72nd Huamantlada festival in Huamantla, Mexico, ended in tragedy last weekend, resulting in two fatalities and at least 11 reported injuries. The dangerous event, which saw 21 bulls released into the city streets, has drawn widespread criticism.

Within minutes of the festival's commencement, the first injuries were recorded. The fatalities included Juan Manuel Filomeno Herrera, who sustained fatal head and chest injuries, and Luis Xolocotzi Ramírez, 57, who died from severe injuries after being transferred to a specialist hospital. The last fatal Huamantlada occurred eight years prior to this recent event.
