Bullfighting, no longer an art form

One part of the Spanish population loves bullfighting. They enjoy seeing this “art”. They consider it as an essential part of their culture. They think Spain wouldn’t be anything without it; but, how can they love killing an animal?

Since the 18^th century, Spain has taken the tradition of bullfighting. It was taken from the tradition of the cult and sacrifice to the bulls. However, Spanish people took it wrongly. They started enjoying it, when in the first place it was not for having fun. Therefore, they took this practise to different countries, spreading the torture.

Bulls have never been aggressive animals. They have been bred to form part of a show that may satisfy people’s thirst of entertainment. As with every single animal, if you don’t make them angry, they won’t face you; but we have modified them so much, that they don’t even need anger.

In every Spanish celebration, a bullfight is present. The government has to be aware of the cruelness of this feast. For example, in Medinaceli, Soria, the bull runs through the town with the horns burning. They have to forbid these practices in every territory. Fortunately, some areas have started prohibiting it, but it is not enough. It needs to be banned not only in some areas, but everywhere.

For all these reasons, we have to fight. We have to fight to make these awful traditions change. We have to show everyone who is in favour of killing this animal that it is unfair. We have to show them that if they want to continue with this “art”, the bull and bullfighter should be in the same conditions. We have to end with this “art”. We really need it, and we have to do it as quick as possible.
