2 Cycle Starts And Stops

The beginning of the end of the National Day

already too many days I have been biting my keys to the circulating load of nonsense about the ban in Catalonia bullfighting . There are two debates raised by this single story, so tratémolos in parts.

First is the fact itself: Catalonia becomes the second (yes, I said SE-GUN-DA) region of Spain to ban bullfighting after I did the 90 Canary. For all of us realize that bullfighting is a group of people enjoy the suffering, agony and death of an animal is, of course, great news. It is a duel between equals, because the poor animal did not choose to participate, and leaves the ring scared, bewildered. A poor animal to spend your last minutes of life trying to defend a guy who tries to make art of their agony.

Many say: "well, not kill the bull." Is that the dead turned into a spectacle of the bull is the last of the indignities and humiliations to which it is exposed. Suffers from that force you to leave the arena, a place unknown to him with a lot of people watching and not knowing what to do there or what you are having. Imagine for a moment that instead of a bull we were talking about a dog or cat. So it would seem unacceptable, right? It is the same.

Others say, "then a ban hunting." Hopefully! And all types of hunting, I'd say. But we must start somewhere and, without doubt, bullfighting is the first scourge to eradicate precisely because it is a symbol, because we sell it as a hallmark of English and because it is the turn into spectacle, mass enjoyment, suffering of a living being. However, in the long run a modern society should aim to eradicate any kind of animal abuse. still a long way, however, does not have to see the panda bastards every year abandon their pets, leaving them to fend for themselves when they go on vacation ...




And the best, "is that if they disappear disappear bull bull." According to wikipedia "The bull is a bull bred and selected by man in the last three centuries, for commercial purposes, for bullfighting ..." And I'd say that this selection was made solely in order to increase their violence, their "bravery." So I do not have any environmental impact that artificial species disappear.

When the "bull" arguments are left without recourse to "clear the Catalans do not want anything from Spain and that prohibit the bulls" ... So either the canaries? Find a political reason for this prohibition is a profound ignorance of the whole process. Those responsible for this achievement are the associations of animal welfare and citizens' initiatives, with their tireless efforts, have succeeded in raising the issue to the political sphere. And not the last, in Madrid and Asturias, and is considering the same. My regret is that in Andalusia is an unattainable dream, today, even to try something similar.
Many Andalusians, and certainly also have happened in other parts of Spain, We are proud of our fellow Catalans on July 28, when Parliament passed the ban. As much as I find it hard to understand those people who despise the suffering animal, there is growing awareness that people have no right to mistreat or abuse animals simply because they can not defend themselves. And we will not tire of saying it.
