demonstrated more than 2,000 opponents of bullfighting in Madrid . Does the Aficion care? Certainly not!
The 28th March 2010 should be the start of a great campaign antitaurinos to ban bullfighting. For this they have called for a Grosskungebung in Madrid . And so that the demonstrators are not too few, they have the safe side, buses carted properly support from the Catalan region in the English capital. A lot of it should be, very many, as many as possible!
And since it is not surprising that the world of bullfighting a moment turned away from her Domingo de Ramos with the processions to take a look 
throw in the metropolis. Finally, we wanted to know, what could come to one. While the Taurinos wondering what number the vibrations at demonstrators to think, the organizers employed rather the question of the minimum participation by over anything set in motion can be. And then we read in the antitaurinisch set newspaper Público that specify the organizers of the participation of 25,000 people. To the estimated not to be contradicted in the same sheet then participating as "Miles de personas (thousands of people) without any actually become.
Yet the largest English daily newspaper, EL PAIS it looked after its own research a little different. Between 2,000 and 3,000 demonstrators armed with cardboard signs and should have gone to a lot of screaming Puerta del Sol . Loudly they shouted "Esperanza, te gusta la matanza" ("Esperanza, you like the slaughter"), in allusion to Esperanza Aguirre , the director of the Regional Government of Madrid , which was the first person of the political the life antitaurinos counterpoint offered and announced to declare the bull to the regional cultural heritage. The fact that the Aficion it dares her Aficion defend encounters with the animal rights activists at the highest indignation.
Two to three thousand demonstrators! What does this number? But as many or so few? Comparing these figures with the number of spectators of bullfights in Madrid the finding is clear. In the months of May and June alone there are in the plaza de toros of Madrid 36 bullfights. With a capacity of 24,000 spectators to come to the impressive number of over 850,000 sold entradas . Of course, not all days are well attended, but a number can surely agree. Because more than half a million, it will be so. Wahrscheinblich to 700.00 '0. And if you go this, one can safely say confronts somewhat larger heaps of antitaurinos , the demonstrators are at far below one percent. This is not enough yet somehow politically relevant.
"talk is not without reason, the organizers of 25,000 participants," tells me a friend, "because with that number they wanted the 24,000 spectators, such a corrida in an afternoon Las Ventas on track to meet. " That makes sense. But even such a goal seems rather to lie further distance, there are missing far more than 85 percent! 
the numbers can turn and rotate as you want, you can compare or compile statistics, the opponents of bullfighting remains is the sad realization that it just was not enough. There were just so little! And the Aficion somehow remembers the year 1600, where William Shakespeare took the pen and wrote:
