"Torturing a bull for pleasure, for fun, is more than torturing a bull, is the torture of conscience" (Victor Hugo)
Bullfights are cruel and barbaric party that excites the primitive passions and appeals to the most bloodthirsty stimuli. There is no justification that animals are sentient beings are mistreated or killed for fun, to produce luxury goods or other non-necessary.
abuse to which subjects both the bull and the horse, for excessive affront to justice, goodness perverse and degraded to the right. In all respects it is immoral. And is that the power of man over animal stops at the end point of the meeting the need. Not allowed to take away life or cause harm or arbitrarily, merely an appetite for pleasure insane contrary to the laws of nature.
why civilized nations have provided effective protection to animals in their laws explicitly banning bullfighting and movements worldwide advocate for the termination of bullfighting. Spain has been noted by international agencies as the most cruel to animals. How can it be understood that in a Catholic country, religious references are used to fund animal torture? The "killer" kneels before the Virgin for protection to kill. And masses are made bullfighting, trophies are given as "Rosario de la Chinita", the "Nazarene Achaguas, are blessed places, events are held cruel to animals in honor of the patron saints, barbaric acts are preceded by processions according to the rites of the Catholic Church. In Spain, mixed torture, sadism and death of animals with Christ, the Virgin and All Saints. As if one day for each saint to vilify the animal. It is the disastrous inheritance received.
Bullfights, the bullfighting, the Cole, cockfighting, pigeon shooting, rodeos, they lose the sensitivity of the human face of pain and suffering animal. With these practices are losing respect for other life forms. Inciting to violence and the use of brute force as a means of domination, these anti-values \u200b\u200bof true civilization. You lose the cultural identity of peoples to take remnants of primitive life that is not theirs. Sadistic activities are stimulated by submitting inhumane tortures pets so that they take wild attitudes at the appointed time.
The term used in English "bullfight" means to fight with the bull, but this show is not a battle or a competition. A man of 75 kilos of weight can not fight with a bull of 500 kilos on an equal footing. Nor is it a sport because the bull does not enjoy the same opportunities and conditions as the bullfighter for success. If it was a good bull run would end as in games Football: an equal number, in this case dead. Nor is it a game because it implies the bloodshed and death. The purpose of the run is the bull's death and the survival of man, in a tragic representation, signed by the inferiority of the animal in a ritual supposedly artistic, where the different thirds of the animal decreases the ability to carry it with deception to death. Lots of call and divided into three: the beam, flags and death in a fatal ritual designed to reduce the responsiveness of the bull. Sharps are three weapons used: the pike or lance, the flags and the sword. And
crew, with their subordinates, their braid and decorations, with all the tricks in 15 long minutes for the bull and 15 short minutes to avid viewers, we must do everything that the regulations allow for the alleged superiority of human beings give away with the beast that is diminished, tired, bowed, bloody, dazed, dizzy, hurt, confused, harassed, desperate, looking for where to run. The crew does not allow it, you have to weather it to bring it to the center, away from the attic, to prevent the lair. You have to place it where you can apply the deadly thrust. As if death was not enough the perpetrators know their profession: "No cruelty useless, all the necessary atrocities. "
No matter the excuse, fun, sport, tradition, show brilliant colors, art, waste of courage. The cruelty is inexcusable. This violent reality refuses to elaborate language management, strange to ordinary people, as it was brought from Spain brought the show to make fans feel like they are in the Motherland. So terms like: despitone, murubeño, tandem, Morucha, beaver, collars, calico , cigar, stick, albero, carifoscos, Montero, mogón, majeza, boar, postinero, ponies, laundry, uproar, wind vane, cloths. The fact is that cruelty as much as the trim and still wrapped in euphemisms barbarity, bestiality, brutality, savagery.
