After long absence, I return to this page to try to gather all (or some, many will be me on the keyboard) the arguments that have repeated over and over again after the notorious decision of the Parliament of Catalonia to ban bullfighting
s fights. This is not to impose my view, is again seeking an intelligent and productive debate on the various arguments that are given without going into the repetition of "is a tradition," "It's cruel."
The bull is NOT a species, can play effectively with any saucy cow that he gets in his way. In all cases, a race, and even as it has no genetic stability for this process, this means that a bull is so different from another bull as any bull. There is no scientific paper has been able to prove otherwise. (Remember that wikipedia is not a source in itself, if you dive into the "exciting" world of literature search your refresquéis I advise you go to English and scientific databases (Web of Knowledge, for example, if you have a library or university nearby, or the same google scholar)
Yes, indeed, it is also an entire drama that animals suffer for food on farms, slaughterhouses, etc. I'm not vegetarian, I do not want to be, but try not to consume that type of food, within the limits of my pocket and my health. The cruelest acts that have not justify anything, should be avoided by all. But only to those who lack arguments they come up out of the discussion in question, say so, that these animals, after all, they kill for food, not for fun.
A issue, which is much is the famous "bull extinction", as I said before, there was a kind, so if we continue to consume beef no problem with his immediate future because, as I said before, are perfectly reproducible with cows ("nobody would have ever happened, that if the bull is a kind, force should be fighting cows?). On the other hand, there are rules that protect animals that somehow no longer "useful" to man (the famous Catalan donkey, for example), so I do not see why it might not be the case. Also, and I'm sure I will create controversy, bulls and cows have been created exclusively by and for man. Gone are those uros elusive, tough meat and dairy just in gestation. A Nature will do you no harm if extinguished, do not confuse terms, we are emotional beings and melancholy not mean it will be an environmental drama, on the contrary, less flatulence vaccine for the atmosphere and recovery of large tracts of grass.
mammals (which includes bulls and humans) are at the top of the evolutionary ladder. Have fully developed nervous system and, therefore, the five senses (in many cases more than in humans). Do not tell us what see, hear or feel does not mean they are not capable. Do not cry does not mean that it hurts when they are injured.
would not have anything against this celebration (as I have nothing against boxing, wrestling and other fights between equals, but I do not like) if he is really a battle of equals, without spears, no flags ... that is, against bull bullfighter. Even, dare I say, because the bull has horns, we may keep the little sword of the matador. I would like to see get nail without the bull is half bleeding and exhausted to deal with flaggers and picks. In that case, yes they would have deserved the ears and tail. The do not know is what could give the Bulls win the fight.
Another issue is the subject of horses in the arena "to realize they have to face two herbivores? Horses and bulls are not natural enemies, the bull attacks because it assumes is that rare animal that is spearing him (imagine that you look at the top and see a Don Quixote atacándoos with his spear, all in one horse and rider, vision must have been like Native Americans), the view is not exactly the most developed sense of bull. And special mention deserves the bruises suffered by the horse, even wahoo have, a bull is much more stout, and as the horse instinctively try to repel their attacks and escape the halter, the spear and forced him to approach the bull ramming hard. I suppose (I say this not because I do not know) you end up with internal bleeding or, at least, a hematoma ("not just having two karateka (that I say this because I have lived) in spite of having breastplates and despite knowing both where they are stuck?).
The argument repeated ad nauseam, and if you press me, the single most, is the tradition. They pay lip service to the word. I will say that until recently was also a tradition (and I'm going to name those concerning animals, why not mix things that do not have to do) pull goats from the belfry of the town during the holidays (even turkeys in a municipality Jaén), bears to dance to the beat of a tambourine and go round and round on a pony at fairs. But it is not usual tradition (where is the line?), And many think a savage (other not ...), to benefit the sheep in the long and lonely nights of grazing in the mountains (or even) put firecrackers in the anus to cats, dogs tie cans to the tail, cut the wings and beaks of birds (so you do not say attack, if not 20 in a little cage not attack), live chickens tied the top of the greasy poles, attach to hunting dogs (sometimes cruelly leaving rub against the floor.) Many have been appalled to see the conditions the animals live "wild" circus, or some zoos even have been surprised to see how the whale loaded with a cetacean (for purposes of "scientific"). No one will remain indifferent if someone kicks a dog or cat breaks a (I think we've all seen the pictures). If, for many, these things should not be done, why allow an animal to be slaughtered only after hurt, tired and why not? humiliate? Curious
argument the loss of employment of thousands of people. That must have thought the ivory traders, and whalers. They also had to go to INEM taxidermists and breeders of fighting cocks.
find it very hypocritical to those that swell saying that that the case is to prohibit and remove liberties. Dear, we are in a society of rules, I do not think I look bad it is forbidden to kill another person, especially if your neighbor is sick of your music, or simply you fall ill. And there, and quite against my will, I had to set an example in humans, because, really, it makes me sick that argument on any topic. Bohemian much market there for the world does not seem so horrible after a ban to enter people's homes, stealing, raping, etc. I would like people saying "the question is imposed and ban" would dare say in public that are against the prohibition of pedophilia or enforcement of the right to vote, I would like very much. If you really want to live in "a world without law" I guess there will be ways to make a bubble just for you ...
Finally I'll add a couple of blogs both for and against bullfighting. Most claims are not very reliable and tend (especially the anti-bullfighting) to give examples a little demagogues to intrude on human arguments, but so you can see I'm open to a peaceful discussion between the parties. For that we are the last link in evolution, right? I would have liked to put more, but there is much cutting and pasting on the net and almost all were against it, repeated ad nauseam:

Again, I am open to any constructive comments. Abstain anti and pro-bullfighting to repeat arguments already mentioned, unless it is to add new information (such as horses, I wonder what happens to them.) I also ask, please, I know it will be hard to resist the temptation after some of the comments that I have, that vegetarians do not enter the rag, that's another debate and comment, or not.
