Views Article Discussion Edit History. Debate: Bullfighting From Debatepedia Jump to: navigationsearch [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ Edit ] Is bullfighting acceptable in modernity, or On Bullfighting it be banned? It On Bullfighting often called a blood sport by its detractors but followers of the spectacle regard it as a fine art and not a sport as there are no elements of competition in the proceedings. Bullfighting is banned in most countries, and has been banned more recently in some countries and regions with long histories and traditions with the event. Most notably, bullfighting was banned in in the Spanish region of Catalonia and its largest city Barcelona, where it has a centuries long history and attracted international fame. At the same time, places like Madrid have responded to On Bullfighting actions by officially preserving bullfighting as an On Bullfighting form. This means that anti-bullfighting activists can be charged with a crime and a substantial fine for disrupting the patrimony of bullfighting and Spanish culture. These historic actions have re-enlivened the debate about bullfighting in Spain and around the world. The pro and con arguments and select quotations from editorials, op-eds, and books are outlined below. Robert Elms. July 31st, : "Those who see bullfighting as cruel are, On Bullfighting course, right. It is cruel that man should breed and kill animals for On Bullfighting enjoyment whether as a dinner or a dance. But to my mind the life of an Iberian fighting bull, a thoroughbred animal which lives to a minimum age of four, roaming wild, feasting on Spain's finest pasture, never even seeing a man on foot, is far superior to that of the many thousands of British bulls whose far shorter lives are spent entirely in factory conditions and killed in grim abattoirs so that we can eat beefburgers. On Bullfighting most bullfighting countries, bulls On Bullfighting honored as mystical creatures of immense strength and beauty. Statues of bulls regularly stand outside of bullfighting stadiums, and depict the animals in the most majestic, strong, and beautiful way possible. These statues On Bullfighting stand alone without an accompanying matador in the depiction. This respect On Bullfighting appreciation of the bull is a demonstration of the decency with which the art form treats the animal. Clean On Bullfighting quick kills are prized in bullfighting. All members of the bullfighting community, fighters and crowds alike, prize quick and relatively painless kills. If a matador fails to deliver such a kill, and the bull suffers needlessly, then he will be jeered and shamed. This dynamic demonstrates a clear sense of decency within the bullfighting community. Bullfighting fosters an understanding of violent death. Ernest Hemingway: "The only place where you could see life and death, i. I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplest things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental is violent death. Principles of the Penal Code. It is a slow, agonising death — as the high acidity of their blood proves. Spanish bull breeders receive EU agricultural subsidies, meaning that UK taxpayers' money goes to support this terrible industry. In order to reduce the risk to the On Bullfighting, sometimes a bulls horns are shaved. This can inflict some pain on the bull and can also make it more sensitive to other forms of pain during the On Bullfighting. Horses suffer in bullfighting as much as bulls. Bullfighting bloodbath. The tormented bull does not understand that it is the man on the horse's back that is causing his pain, only that he is in agony. He therefore sees the horse as his enemy as much as the man. It's not unusual for horses used in bullfights to be so badly gored by the bulls that they have to be killed, but only after they have been dragged from the ring and the view of the spectators. July 31st, : "Our squeamishness means that we prefer death which is mechanical and invisible, while the Spanish understand that it is part of a cycle. The man charged with the task of delivering a fine end to this fierce and powerful creature will dance with it along the way, laying his own life on the line to create a swirling symbiosis. Bullfighting traces its roots to prehistoric bull worship and sacrifice. The killing On Bullfighting the sacred bull tauroctony is the essential central iconic act of On Bullfighting, which was commemorated in the mithraeum wherever Roman soldiers were stationed. The oldest representation of what seems to be a man facing a bull is on the celtiberian tombstone from Clunia and the On Bullfighting painting "El toro de hachos", both found in Spain. Bullfighting is "last serious On Bullfighting in modern world. In Spain, many youth idealize bull fighters for their strength, grace, and wit in outmaneuvering bulls. This is valuable in inspiring and compelling success in future generations. Bullfighting On Bullfighting due to devout local On Bullfighting, not tourists Robert Elms. July 31st, : "The oft-repeated claim that such rings are kept alive by tourists is ludicrous. Despite the economic recession, which has hit Spain especially hard, the corrida is still thriving. Its top practitioners are huge On Bullfighting, and its fans, among them a prominent group of British aficionados, intensely devoted, because it is still the very soul of this dark and complex country. International Movement Against Bullfights : "The truth is, if a creature suffers then there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration. All animals are sentient beings that experience joy, happiness, fear and pain, in the same way that human beings do. We can have no right whatsoever to make them suffer for our "enjoyment". If any torture On Bullfighting to an animal deserves condemnation, bullfights are the worst kind of torture since they are performed solely in the name of entertainment. We must end the animals' torture and stop these shows of brutality and violence. On Bullfighting is too small a step from the intentional infliction of pain on an animal to the torture and killing of human beings. Part of the pull of bullfighting for crowds is witnessing death. Advocates of the practice make this into an argument for the practice. But, a desire to see death in front On Bullfighting one's own eye's On Bullfighting to bloodlust. Why should humans be accommodated in such a morbid pursuit? Bullfighting validates torturing animals for entertainment. International Movement Against Bullfights : "These outdated spectacles perpetuate the idea that injuring On Bullfighting killing an animal for amusement is acceptable. Stoning women for immodesty is one of them. We know very well that such tradition-for-tradition's-sake arguments are debunk. The same holds On Bullfighting with bullfighting, a tradition that is based on cruelty to bulls. People need not see bull die in order to understand death. Video, pictures, books, and news reports all make it possible for individuals to learn about and understand death. It's occurring around us naturally all the time. On Bullfighting is completely unnecessary, therefore, to artificially On Bullfighting death in the bullfighting arena in order to create an appreciation of the cycle of life and death, etc. Nature watching is also a good alternative. Or even hunting or fishing, in which an individual generally attempts to quickly and decently kills an animal that they will then eat. On Bullfighting and bull for entertainment is unnecessary when compared to these outlets for understanding life and death. Bullfighting makes for a barbaric society. Is bullfighting a fair fight? The On Bullfighting the risk for the bullfighter, the greater the reward from the crowd. This pressure makes the fight more fair. The bullfighter is not trying to stay as far away as possible in order to make a riskless kill; they are trying to demonstrate On Bullfighting courage and bravery in the face of potentially fatal risks. Bullfighters and others are regularly gored. Bullfighters are frequently gored in bullfighting, although it is relatively rare that they are killed. There was a gruesome goring in in Spain, in which the horn of On Bullfighting bull entered through the neck of a matador and through his mouth. Bulls horns are On Bullfighting kept sharp for fights. In Spain and most other countries with bullfighting, the horns of bulls are not shaved, but rather kept sharp. The fact that they are not usually shaved demonstrates that organizers and crowds want to keep the fight fair and suspenseful. Savvy fans would not have it any other way. Bullfighting symbolizes man's mastery over nature. Fighting the bull doesn't have to be a completely fair fight; that misses the point, which is that man has developed a mastery over the tools and On Bullfighting required to control and overcome On Bullfighting elements of nature, such as a two thousand pound bull. Anyone who believes this fight to be fair, is mistaken. By the time a matador approaches to actually kill the bull, the animal typically has enough spears in his neck and back muscles to prevent him from fully lifting his On Bullfighting. Read more bullfighting facts. Bullfighters are rarely injured On Bullfighting seldom killed in the ring. With their armory of weapons to weaken the bull until it can no longer fight, their lives are not at great risk.

ISBN : 9788490962459. introduction I. — UNE AIRE CULTURELLE DE LA TAUROMACHIE La singulière diversité des jeux taurins La diversité des jeux taurins est méconnue du grand public. La raison tient à l’emploi même du terme tauromachie. En effet, ce terme fonctionne le plus souvent comme une représentation culturelle et subjective du fait taurin, et non comme un terme permettant d’identifier des pratiques de même nature. Dans sa version la plus caricaturale, la tauromachie est synonyme de corrida, relé- guant en arrière-plan la grande diversité des affrontements entre les hommes et les bovins qui sont pourtant tributaires d’une même analyse. Si l’on accepte de considérer que le taureau du mot tauromachie est un animal générique (les bovins auxquels les hommes se mesurent), alors la famille des pratiques tauromachiques s’agrandit considérablement. Comment justifier un tel regrou- pement ? La réponse est le fruit d’une observation factuelle : il n’existe guère d’autres espèces avec lesquelles les hommes se mesurent en des corps à corps violents au cours de spectacles publics d’une telle ampleur.

    La relación del toro con los hombres siempre inspiró a los artistas a lo largo de la historia, desde las pinturas rupestres más antiguas hasta la obra de pintores y escultores del siglo XXI. Con diferentes contextos, estilos, intenciones o significados, los tres protagonistas de esta muestra, han representado plásticamente la pasión y dramática intensidad de las corridas taurinas mediante sus diversas miradas. Francisco de Goya, considerado como un precursor de la Modernidad, realizó su serie de grabados mostrando una visión histórica de la tauro- maquia en España; Pablo Picasso, creador del cubismo, fue aficionado a los toros desde su infancia y transformó esas escenas en temas centrales de su obra; Salvador Dalí, uno de los máximos representantes del Surrealismo, sintió fascinación por el mundo del toreo y elaboró sus imágenes en clave surrealista.

    HERITAGE OR CRUELTY? THE CONFLICT OF VALUES AMONG SUPPORTERS AND PROTESTERS OF BULLFIGHTING TRADITIONS Estefanía Duque Cardona Supervisors: Anastasia Gotovou & Carsten Jacob Humlebæk MSc in Social Science in Service Management Minor in European Business Studies Pages: 78 Number or characters (including spaces): 158.854 Copenhagen Business School September 2017 ABSTRACT Bullfighting has always been a controversial topic in Spain. Spaniards either support it or repulse it, not many seem indifferent when being asked about their opinion about bullfighting traditions. However, little is known about the reasoning behind the attitudes towards bullfighting. This thesis aims to review some of the results of previous bullfighting studies and try to find out the underlying values in the Spaniards that support bullfighting or protest against it. For this purpose, I used a survey as a quantitative method, which included open questions that served as qualitative data. It was elaborated after the literature review of different social psychology theories with particular emphasis on Schwartz´s Theory of Cultural Value Orientations, and it was distributed through social networks. 1640 Spaniards participated in the survey during the 35 days it was available online. By checking the survey distribution and analysing the data obtained with SPSS, I found out that: I) Spaniards with profiles in social networks against bullfighting were very active in sharing the survey and had a keen interest to prove that most Spanish people are against bullfighting. II) Women are more likely to be against bullfighting than men. III) Most Spaniards agree with the membership of Spain in the European Union, and some would be supportive of a European regulation of bullfighting events.

    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

Para poner a prueba la hipótesis, mediante metodología comparativa, se han explorado distintos casos, caracte- rizados por la presencia de animales, que se continúan desarrollado con arreglo a una inve- terada tradición, en los cuales los animales son vejados, humillados y sometidos a un sufri- miento innecesario.

There is written evidence of their journeys to our country since the 18th century when our country was said to be old-fashioned, stuck in time and remote from European reality. This, together with our History, facts such as the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship, form the image of Spain. Through this study, we will conclude whether they have acquired an acuurate imatge or a distorted one, and how much the idea of “Spain is diferent” has iinfluenced their perception of us; our traditions, society, politics and history. Making a comparison with the first travel writings, we will see if we are that that different or, in reality, we are just the same as we used to be portrayed in the first travel writings. KEY WORDS: Travel books, Travel writing, British travellers, , travels, Spanish transition, British travellers accounts on Spain, stereotypes, Black Legend RESUMEN España ha sido un destino común entre los británicos desde hace siglos.

  • Saint Cruelty (*)
    2015.07.06 Saint Cruelty (*) Keywords: shows with animals; bull runs; animality; religious rites The beginning of summer sets in motion the calendar of patron saint celebrations in Spain. There are festivities all year round, but during summer they seem to peak as the good weather encourages people to take part in outdoor shows, and they are always more frequent at the far reaches of our country. With a few exceptions, the festivities in the towns coincide with the religious calendar. Through religious dedication the Patron Saints are celebrated. City councils implement the Annual Programme to amuse fellow citizens, which has little variety. It is called traditional, due to it being repeated, and it always includes, as well as other activities that I will not detail as they are already known (gastronomic, sporting, cultural, open-air), shows with animals.[1] I am of course referring to the bullfights that, aside from in two autonomies,[2] continue to be celebrated, despite the fact they increasingly disgust the public and that there are municipalities, such as in Mallorca,[3] that declare themselves against to the organisation of bull shows. The mayor of Pinto has for some years announced that they will not grant subsidies for the celebration of bullfights,[4] and both A Coruña[5] and Gandía[6] have made similar declarations. However, I don’t want to limit this reference only to bullfighting. Right now it is not about adding fuel to the fire, as it is already well fuelled! [7] Instead my view is broader. I want to refer to all the shows authorised by their respective municipal corporations, established by general legislation [8] and in the respective Autonomous Communities, [9] in which, almost always in relation to a religious festivity, shows are organised with animals that endure mistreatment for the amusement of citizens and of visitors that come to the locality to cure their summer boredom.
