Bulls
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANIMALS
BULLS IN OUR TOWN
Bullfighting is
very popular in Spain, but in Catalonia it has been banned for some years now.
In the South of
Catalonia, the Ebre area, where we live there is bullfighting but with no
animal death. Festivities with bulls are different.
People get together
and set up carriages or a scaffoldings
in a circle to create a bullring. They
enjoy some food together while watching the brave ones in the ring running in
front of the bulls.
There is music
going on and lots of enjoyment.
This kind of
celebration has arisen a lot of controversy as there are supporters and
detractors on the way bulls are treated.
These are the
arguments coming from both sides.
ARGUMENTS FOR
|
ARGUMENTS AGAINST
|
1. In our way of
celebrating, bulls do not suffer and aren't killed.
2. It's better to
experience with a real animal. The adrenaline high is real.
3. It's an
ancient tradition in our villages and it should continue for generations.
4. Bullfighting
is the only way to preserve the species and the economy of some families.
|
1. It's not
necessary to use real animals to have fun.
2. The bull is
not physically tortured but the stress is relevant and they even might seriously injure themselves.
3. There are
traditions that are not ethic, and so they should not be continued
4. Animals have feelings, too.
