US 'running of the bison' rejected

Officials in the historic Old West US town of Deadwood have turned down a proposal to hold a festival modelled on the running of the bulls in Pamplona - but with bison chasing people down Main St.

Bulls have run on the streets of Pamplona, Spain, since the late 16th century. But Deadwood’s mayor and city commissioners in South Dakota were told bison are far less predictable and much more dangerous, to both participants and spectators.
