A traditional bull‑run in the town of Dicmo, near Split, was announced for 1 August, with folk singers Goga Sekulić and Rada Manojlović slated as headline entertainment. Social‑media users joked about betting on “Goga’s bulls” or “Rada’s bulls,” generating light‑hearted hype around the event.

When the night‑time bullfight took place on 2 August, hundreds attended the spectacle, which also featured a tombola prize and live music by the same singers. Animal‑rights activists quickly condemned the fights as cruel and un‑Croatian, calling for a ban and sparking a heated public debate over cultural tradition versus animal protection.
