According to Spanish the Catalan daily reported on August 29,, the Spanish national television a will be in recently broadcast a bullfight, banned broadcast six years of bull program can finally "rescue dawn". Reports say, lift the ban bullfighting relay is also out of economic considerations. Bull by the Catalan create thousands of jobs, every year to attract hundreds of thousands of tourists, creates income hundreds of thousands of euros. Although the outside world to "ban" bullfight the sport call abnormal high, but as the Spanish the soul of a nation, want to say "no", is not a simple matter.
In July 2010, the Catalan regional parliament passed a bill to ban bullfighting, will be on January 1, 2012 to take effect, after the bill through parliament, the jubilation, many lawmakers clapping and cheering, and people kiss the bulls cartoon toys. The Catalan thus become a Spanish domestic first ban bullfighting area.
The bill established fuse from August 2010 a massacre: in the northern Spanish city tower method leah at a bullfight tragedy happened, a head of raging bull jumped on the stand, cause the audience riots, killing at least 30 people are hurt, three seriously.
According to incomplete statistics, Spain each year about 15000 bull in the show assassination. However, as the Spanish spiritual pillar of the bullfight is difficult to really be banned. Spanish red blood in the bull the movement may be incisively and vividly show. The spread over many years of movement has become a Spanish "business card", and now "business card" lost, some Spanish people think like a national symbol as lost. According to statistics, Spain has 1350 bulls pasture, bullfighting industry economic output each year 2.5 billion euros, of the Spanish 0.25% of GDP, direct employment opportunities created 200000 person-time, and stimulating local tourism, become the most profits in the art category. No bullfighting, subsequent accessory industry will be affected, including tourism, consumption, food, agriculture and so on various aspects of the loss will be as high as 300 million euros ($) a year. And matador income, although there is no specific amount, but it is also very rich. In bullfighting be banned later, in Catalonia region, except for extremely has the fame of several matador were invited to Madrid and andalusian bullfighting street, other matador all changed, the majority of people joined the security company to each supermarkets, Banks, big companies as a security guard at the door.
Previously, there have been 180000 catalonian signature petition cancel the bullfight. In April 2004, Barcelona city parliament passed a resolution condemning bullfighting, and declared the first against bullfighting Spanish city. In addition, Spain and 42 cities declared against bullfighting. Organizers purpose is to ban traditional Spanish bullfighting. DingNiu pie and pour the bulls struggle never interrupted. DingNiu pie reasons include: according to the veterinary research, if not after fighting, bulls gland secretion may make it anxious, more feeling pain, And cultivate bullfighting promotes the bull of the survival of the fittest. The Spanish photographer Isabel, slightly, mourinho said: "if I were a bull, I must be willing to proud head died in the bullring, and dare not to die in the slaughterhouse." The bull and the bullfighter's courage and noble hero's artistic breath moving. The Spanish bullfight critics Antonio lorca think, bullfighting in dispute survive, explain its has strong vitality. "You become a bull" "fled to the bullpen outside" and so on saying in Spanish can be found everywhere, don't understand bullfighting, cannot understand the history of Spain. In 2010, the Spanish bullfight held 1724 games, watching the football match is second only to the number. "Bull brings us a full of colour, joy, dream world. People and cow struggle shows that the combination of nature and power, which is difficult to understand the emotion and mystery."
But the bulls have sufficient reason: Spanish health a decree in 1986, banning bullring is bucket dead cattle meat in the market. This law come into effect on July 1 this year. The ministry of health think, be bucket dead cattle, the brain and nervous system by metal steel sword stimulation, can produce like mad cow disease that the brain and nervous system variation, human consumption after the body health. The so-called struggle, is also the human forced the bulls, itself is not equal. In the last part of the bullfight, matador rushed forward sword stab to the heart of the cattle.
This is considered to be humane, because even in ordinary livestock slaughter process, also won't go directly to stab an animal's heart. Even the matador themselves because this cruel and confess self-reproach. 7th oct., 2011, Spain's most famous bullfighters Juan, one of Mr Padilla's in zaragoza come to a bad end, he in the bull accidentally fell to the ground, mad cow which horn will directly from the ear hind poke into, pointed horn from his left eye socket wear out, painful pardi's string shout: "I blind! I blind!" But even so, in the last year, after the recovery of Juan mask on again to return to the bullring, become a legend. In recent years, against bullfighting protests to break out.
Perhaps, as human beings constantly XiangWenMing progress, in the cultural inheritance and the rise of human nature of the game, it's ok to find a balance point. Portugal bullfighting practice is in the last only by a team of strong boy put back already on several sword cattle down, not stabbed to death it. Kill the cow in Portugal is illegal. Although the movement dangerous, cruel, but no matter from the historical Angle, economic Angle, national emotion Angle, can let a person simple to it says "no", bullfighting is a kind of cultural heritage, can't regard it as the tumor to remove, only by the evolution of society to the culture of the future.
