Full Report - Bullfights in Spain an International Investigation By FULL REPORT - BULLFIGHTS IN SPAIN AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION BY IN COLLABORATION WITH S.B. (Investigation Unit Coordinator – LAV) With the exclusive veterinary contributions of José Enrique Zaldívar (President – AVATMA, Association of Veterinary Abolitionists of Bullfighting and Animal Abuse) Under coordination and review of Marta Esteban Miñano (International Managing Director – Animal Guardians) BULLFIGHTING IN ALGEMESÍ (VALENCIA) Period: from 22/09/2019 to 24/09/2019 Places: Bullring of Algemesí / Butcher shop in Algemesí / Center of Algemesí / Object of the investigation: collection of videos of the process of the bullfights starting in the breeding, followed by the transport, the act in the bullring and the process of converting the body in a meat product. In the Algemesí’s images (as well as in the ones concerning Seville and Madrid) we can see the three standard thirds (tran. phases) of the bullfight: the Tercio de Varas (tran. Third of Rods), with passes with the cape and confrontation with the horse of the picador (bullfighter on horse), the Tercio de Banderillas (tran. Third of Flags) and the Tercio de Muerte (tran. Third of Death), which includes the Faena de Muleta (cape task used by the bullfighter to tease the bull with a cape), and the process by which, with the use of various weapons (estoque, descabello and puntilla, explained below), the life of these animals is ended in the bullrings. Before going out to the ring, in the pens, a divisa (coloured ribbon), which is a double harpoon measuring 9 cm, is nailed to the bull’s neck. It is adorned with coloured ribbons which identify the ranch to which the animal belongs. First, the picadores (bullfighters on horse) act in the first third of the bullfight (Tercio de Varas). It is used to measure the animal's bravery, cause intense pain, and weaken him by making him fight against the horse. At the tip of a long wooden stick, called puya (tran. spear) is inserted. It measures 8.9 cm to what is called the cruceta (red area), and it is inserted into the bull's muscles behind the neck. It causes different trajectories, measured during autopsies, of up to 30 cm long. It causes injury to muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and even bone structures of thoracic vertebrae. It produces profuse bleeding. After the Tercio de Varas, comes the Tercio de Banderillas during which the animal is harpooned with six harpoons that are 6 cm long, inserted into coloured wooden sticks. They dig into the muscles previously injured by the puya, causing more pain and more bleeding. Then comes what is known as the Tercio de Muerte, during which the torero (professional bullfighter who fights 4/5-year-old bulls) or the novillero (bullfighter who bullfights 2/3-year- old animals) performs what is known as the Faena de Muleta and, once the animal is physically and mentally exhausted, he proceeds to kill him. For this, an estoque (a typical bullfighting sword) is used, which measures 80 cm. The estoque is inserted into the thorax of the animal. It produces an intense haemorrhage since it cuts veins, arteries, bronchi and lungs. The consequence is that the animal will suffer an intense suffocation due to blood flooding his thoracic cavity. If the animal does not fall to the ground or takes too long to do so, the bullfighter will use another sword, called descabello (special sword to apply a thrust to the neck), which is nailed between the first and second cervical vertebrae and which cuts the spinal cord, leaving the animal quadriplegic. AVATMA collected evidence of cases in which there have been up to eight failed descabellos on the same animal. Once on the ground, the bull resting on his folded legs, the puntilla (special knife) is always used by a subalterno (subordinate assistant) of the bullfighter: it is a 10 cm long knife, which is driven through the occipital bone and the first cervical vertebra, damaging an important nervous centre called the "medulla oblongata", which connects the spinal cord to the brain. The consequence will be the death of the animal, but that does not occur immediately; it can take between one and four minutes for the animal to die. The movements of the legs, which happen while the puntilla is being applied, are nervous reflexes in response to an injury to the centre mentioned above, the "medulla oblongata". These are not seizures. There are many cases, documented through filming, in which these animals have their ears cut off or they are dragged by the mules out of the bullring, when they are still alive. During the Tercio de Muerte it is possible to see that death is a more or less agonizing process, depending on the placement of the sword, that is, on how it has been nailed to the bull. When the sword or estoque penetrates the animal, it can cut various structures: bronchi, lungs, large blood vessels (posterior aorta, caudal vena cava), or not so large and even, if it is placed too far forward, it can section the trachea, and if it goes too far back, go through the diaphragm (muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen). This is why each animal dies in a different way. Lunges that seem very "accurate", because all the steel has entered the animal’s body, are not so much so. We can also see some lunges that dig into bone (vertebrae). Consequently, some bulls vomit blood through the mouth, through the nostrils or through both the mouth and nostrils. In other cases, no blood comes out. All this is accompanied, as it can be seen, by very fast breathing (bulls breathe with their mouths open), the result of the great physical effort they have been subjected to during the fight. Sometimes, as can be seen in some images, we see bulls or novillos that fall after the lunge and rise again. It is what we previously pointed out of the "accurate" and not "accurate" lunges that may not be what they seem. Once the estoque has been introduced in the animal’s body, we see how, with the capes, the subordinates tease the bull. This is done so that the sword moves within the animal's thorax and accelerates death. At other times, it can be seen how the sword is removed before proceeding to the coup de grâce with the descabello or puntilla, in order to make the bleeding more intense. As already mentioned, all animals are finished with the puntilla. About the use of this weapon it must be said that it was prohibited in all slaughterhouses in the European Union because it was considered a cruel way of killing an animal. Bullfights in the bullring are an exception to this rule. It is compulsory that, before proceeding to the bleeding of the animals slaughtered in slaughterhouses, that they are previously stunned (in the case of cattle, this is done with what is known as a captive bullet pistol that applied to the skull causes the loss of awareness). About this, the Association of Veterinarians for the Abolition of Bullfighting and Animal Mistreatment (AVATMA) prepared a report1 which was presented at the European Parliament. The bullring of Algemesí is built and managed by the cadafals (group of friends who get together for partying). Every year the tiers of the bullring are auctioned. They have permission to sell tickets and win money, but, as one of the managers told to the investigator, this is difficult, their cadafal paid this year 19.100 euros for the tier. Members of cadafal and their young kids can be seen on the tiers. Bulls are brought to the bullring through an encierro. This act is done every morning and it consists of making the bulls run through the streets (Sometimes also during the night, but it is not usual). Fragments of running of the bulls can be seen in the images: sometimes the animals that participate in the encierro are the same that will be killed later during the bullfight, sometimes not. As it can be seen, the novillos are led by being beaten with sticks. All the animals killed in the novilladas (bullfights with young male bovines as the one in Algemesí) are 3 years old. The ages and names of the lidia (fighting breed cattle are: bulls (4 and 5 years old); novillos (2 and 3 years old); becerros (less than 2 years old). The bullfighters in the filming are called novilleros because they kill novillos. These bullfighters are trying to get to be toreros. To be a novillero (bullfighter of 2/3 years-old animals) is the previous step to being a torero who can fight 4/5 years old bulls. 1 https://avatma.org/2018/03/16/avatma-lleva-el-maltrato-animal-en-mataderos-y-la-tauromaquia-a-debate-al-parlamento-europeo/ Dead bulls are moved outside the ring and put openly on a scraper bucket, close to really young kids and people in general. In Algemesi some footages documented another type of show within the bullfighting demonstrations of that town, which comes to be like the presentation of the novillos that will be fought in the bullring later. This is called desencajonada (tran. “to take out of the box”). During the desencajonada, the novillos that will be fought the next day are released for a while within the bullring and will be fought the next day. As it can be seen, the fear they feel makes them group together, that is, unite to defend themselves. It is not unusual that, on occasions, there are clashes between some of these animals, but to avoid them, the cabestros (tame leading-ox) are used.

    BULLS AND BULLFIGHTING IN LITERATURE IN ENGLISH FROM 1920-36: O'BRIEN'S MARY LAVELLE AND HEMINGWAY'S FIESTA Carmen Rueda Ramos This work deals with the symbolism two foreign wnters, who came to Spain looking for some kind of liberation,saw in bulljighting.Both of them wereparlicularly interested in thefígure of the bu11 as a victim of a tragedy. That is what made Kate O'Brien and Ernest Hemingway portray their rnain characters in Mary Lavelle and in Fiesta as symbolic bulls in their dramas of passion. The eroticism involved in bulljighting also has its equivalent in the dramasof both novels. In trying &oget to know Spain as "la piel de toro", they made their characters take part in this peculiar and characteristic ritual. Laín Entraigo, an important contempomy essayist on bullfighting, once de- scribed it by saying that "En su esencia el toreo es un encuentro entre el hombre y el toro bajo forma de lidia, en el cual hay desafio, juego, ostentación del poderío humano y muerte real (la del toro) y muerte posible (la del torero); por tanto drama." ' Entralgo explained in a few words what bullfighting is al1 about. However, the symbolism that lies behind it -represented by courage and strength- is exactly what foreign writers, who came to Spain before the Civil War, saw in it and wrote about. In trying to understand the country, its baditions and inconsistencies, its cruelties and beauties, they wrote about something typically Spanish, "la fiesta nacional", and gave different interpretations to it in their novels in connection with drama and passion.

  • The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain
    SOCIAL THOUGHT & COMMENTARY Torophies and Torphobes: The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain Stanley Brandes University of California, Berkeley Abstract Although the bullfight as a public spectacle extends throughout southwestern Europe and much of Latin America, it attains greatest political, cultural, and symbolic salience in Spain. Yet within Spain today, the bullfight has come under serious attack, from at least three sources: (1) Catalan nationalists, (2) Spaniards who identify with the new Europe, and (3) increasingly vocal animal rights advocates. This article explores the current debate—cultural, political, and ethical—on bulls and bullfighting within the Spanish state, and explores the sources of recent controversy on this issue. [Keywords: Spain, bullfighting, Catalonia, animal rights, public spectacle, nationalism, European Union] 779 Torophies and Torphobes: The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain s is well known, the bullfight as a public spectacle extends through- A out southwestern Europe (e.g., Campbell 1932, Colomb and Thorel 2005, Saumade 1994), particularly southern France, Portugal, and Spain. It is in Spain alone, however, that this custom has attained notable polit- ical, cultural, and symbolic salience. For many Spaniards, the bull is a quasi-sacred creature (Pérez Álvarez 2004), the bullfight a display of exceptional artistry. Tourists consider bullfights virtually synonymous with Spain and flock to these events as a source of exotic entertainment. My impression, in fact, is that bullfighting is even more closely associated with Spanish national identity than baseball is to that of the United States. Garry Marvin puts the matter well when he writes that the cultur- al significance of the bullfight is “suggested by its general popular image as something quintessentially Spanish, by the considerable attention paid to it within Spain, and because of its status as an elaborate and spectacu- lar ritual drama which is staged as an essential part of many important celebrations” (Marvin 1988:xv).

  • Picasso and Dalí, Double Portrait in the Bullring of Art by PILAR PARCERISAS
    Picasso and Dalí, double portrait in the bullring of art By PILAR PARCERISAS Dalí’s relationship with Picasso is ambivalent and complex. On one hand, it is rooted in the admiration of Dalí towards the master, which starts after his visit to Picasso’s Parisi- an atelier in 1926. From that moment onwards, and up until 1970, when their relation- ship has completely dissolved, Dalí writes him letters and postcards, to which he never replies. However, Picasso did help Dalí pay for the costs of his trip to New York in 1934, for which Dalí always showed his gratitude publicly. But after the Spanish Civil War and the tragic ending of the Second World War with the nuclear bomb in 1945, Dalí wants to take a new artistic course. He starts measuring himself against Picasso: he sets out on an ideological confrontation, as well as an aes- thetical rivalry with him, which is aimed at finally becoming the master’s successor in the History of Art. In his lectures of the time, Dalí delivers diatribes against him, while he asks for a return to Raphael’s classicism in the nuclear age. This opens a new period in Dalí’s work, a sort of ‘nuclear mysticism’, where the atomic age and Spanish Catholi- cism merge into the significant work Mystical Manifesto (1951). The political context has changed. The Cold War determines the relations between Eu- rope, United States and the Soviet Union. The aesthetic of abstraction rules in the US while, in Europe, it’s all about informalism; so, on both sides of the Atlantic, the aesthet- ics are hegemonic.

  • The Competition Law Review
    ISSN 1745-638X (Online) THE COMPETITION LAW REVIEW Volume 11 Issue 1 pp 61-81 July 2015 Entertainment made in Spain: competition in the bullfighting industry Francisco Marcos* Controversial for many reasons, bullfighting is probably one of the most typical entertainment activities in Spain. Bullfights are an idiosyncratic spectacle belonging to the Spanish cultural tradition, but which has also a meaningful economic significance. This article will look at the role of market forces and competition in the bullfighting business, describing the peculiarities of its organization and looking at the many anti-competitive features that characterize it. Spanish local authorities are strongly involved in the organization of bullfights and strict and detailed public rules govern the intervening actors and the performance during the shows. Thus, the institutional framework of bullfighting heavily constrains competition conditions in the industry, setting the scenario for a limited role of market forces. Furthermore, history shows that the collective organization of different players involved (promoters, breeders, bullfighters and subordinates) in order to exert their market power has occasionally led to anti-competitive actions and reactions. Thus, unsurprisingly, the Spanish Competition authorities have dealt with some anti-competitive behaviour by some of the players participating in the bullfighting industry. INTRODUCTION Despite being very contentious for many reasons, related primarily to the respect of animal rights, bullfighting keeps being

    141 La imagen de Joselito El Gallo en las artes plásticas. Jesús Rojas-Marcos González Palabras de la Presidenta de la Academia Ilmo. Sr. Fiscal de la Real Maestranza de Caballería, Excmos. e Ilmos. Sres. Maestrantes, Académicos, Sras. y Sres.: La razón por la cual estamos aquí reunidos en este Salón lleno de arte no es otra que proceder a la inauguración de las Jornadas culturales que se van a llevar a cabo en colaboración de la Real Maestranza de Caballería con la Real Academia de Bellas Artes. Esta Jornada que hoy comienza se va a dedicar a un insigne torero en el Centenario de su Alternativa, “Joselito El Gallo”. Como todos sabéis, el arte de la Tauromaquia fue fuente de inspiración para muchos artistas. Pintores, desde Goya a Picasso, plasmaron en sus lienzos obras dedicadas al arte del toreo; escultores que tallaron piezas maestras que quedarán para la posteridad. Un ejemplo de ellas, el entierro de Joselito, de Benlliure, donde nunca se vio tanta belleza escoltada por tan profunda tristeza; escritores, músicos y poetas, como Lorca, o Rafael de León, que en una de sus poesías a la muerte de Joselito era tal la tristeza que embargaba a la ciudad de Sevilla que describió en su poesía el llanto de la Macarena, la Madre y Señora de Sevilla, por la muerte de Joselito. Por todo esto, la Real Academia tuvo a bien que engrosara en su nómina académica un torero de Sevilla. Conferencia impartida el 19 de septiembre de 2012, en el salón de los Carteles de la Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla.

    The Changing Place of Animals in Post-Franco Spain with particular reference to Bullfighting, Popular Festivities, and Pet-keeping. Vibeke Hansen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Essex October 2015 Abstract This is a thesis about the changing place of animals in post-Franco Spain, with particular reference to bullfighting, popular festivities, and pet-keeping. The thesis argues that since the ‘transition’ to democracy (1975-1982), which made Spain one of the most liberal social-democratic states in Europe, there have been several notable developments in human-animal relations. In some important respects, Spain has begun to shed its unenviable reputation for cruelty towards animals. Three important changes have occurred. First, bullfighting (corridas) has been banned in the Canary Islands (1991) and in Catalonia (2010). In addition, numerous municipalities have declared themselves against it. Second, although animals are still widely ‘abused’ and killed (often illegally) in local festivities, many have gradually ceased to use live animals, substituting either dead ones or effigies, and those that continue to use animals are subject to increasing legal restrictions. Third, one of the most conspicuous changes has been the growth in popularity of urban pet-keeping, together with the huge expansion of the market for foods, accessories and services - from healthy diets to cemeteries. The thesis shows that the character of these changing human-animal relations, and the resistance
