It was a moving moment, when the scientists Jorge Wagenberg a whole arsenal of "weapons" unpacked, leading to the death of toro bravo in plaza de toros . He raised as to transfer the estoque High death-blow to the sword with both hands and asked: "Does it hurt?" Passed Dramatic seconds. "Of course it hurt!" enthusiasm among the animal rights activists, peace in the Aficion . Pure sensationalism or polemics as it described the English newspaper EL PAÍS . He has not so far wrong. The fact that it hurts not even deny the aficionados itself and the degree of pain, the science has been arguing for ages.
In Catalonia, discussed the bullfight. Also the national Interest has become greater. Almost every day newspapers report daily of which even on different pages. Special attention was actually almost not on the statements of Taurinos , but much more on the verbal and emotional stories of the bullfighting opponents. Certainly there were relatively objective comments like that of the ethologists Jordi Casamitjana : "From an ecological and zoological position suffers from the bull ... and blame the corrida de toros." A clear statement.
But as the Basque philosopher Jesús Mosterín was speaking, was given a new dimension to the debate: "We get upset at the fact that in Africa the woman's clitoris is cut," adds and later added, "The mistreatment of the woman is also a tradition. " Both processes are crimes, criminal acts against humanity and against European Gerichtbarkeit. And precisely this level, the Aficion provided by animal rights activists. respond
politicians
But here the animal rights activists were probably the politicians at the national level too far. The opposition leader of the Partido Popular Mariano Rajoy took this matter yesterday with the English commercial broadcaster Telecinco position: "It is completely unacceptable, with the suffering of animals at a corrida de toros wife abuse or compare African traditions such as female circumcision. " The Catalans would be good advice but more to the current problems to focus, because after 600 000 Catalans are unemployed, and where there is relatively no matter what happened because with the toros . And if ever they think of a abolición de las corridas de toros en Cataluña rather to further job losses.
The President of the Comunidad de Madrid Esperanza Aguirre responded to the Catalan offensive. The Tauromaquia "is an art that is worth defending and belonged from time immemorial to the English and Mediterranean culture." To bullfighting now in the region Madrid should be protected by law in the course of the next , 15 months fiesta nacional declared a regional cultural heritage.
From France came voices. The socialist politician Christian Bourquin commented on the debate as a Catalan "an attack on freedom and respect for pluralism, as well as an attack on a minority."
If aficionados criminals?
In September 2008, in the German forum spain talk toreros described as a mass murderer. Even Hitler comparisons are drawn. Bullfighting fans are Nazis and pedophiles, terminally ill people. Desecration of a grave toreros is approved of, etc.
Hatred of the Aficion sometimes goes so far that we could read as a comment on SOS Galgos in October last year: "The animals life -. Taurinos the death "
who followed the debate is seen from a neutral point of view, that the world of antitaurinos is very concerned about the followers of the Tauromaquia to criminalize . Although the right to Tauromaquia in English Constitutionally enshrined, is the Pastimes of the animal rights activists not just that basic rights a matter of course agreed, no more, the whole world of toros is almost criminalized. labeled as criminals. Operators and managers are Mafia bosses who toreros contract killer and the audience gets the small-time crook who despised modern society. And here comes the question, do they have the animal rights in general a right to do? And how we feel as part of this taurine world? This probably makes us sad. More than that. Of course it hurts ... it hurts!
