BAN BULLFIGHTING

AColombia continues to perpetuate the cruelty of the Roman Circus. Gone, of course, are the gladiators of old, but two principal elements of the circus remain: the torture and trickery employed by the bullfighter in goading and finally slaughtering what is by all accounts a noble and beautiful animal.

In order to continue engaging in this vile and degenerate pastime, and to assure the continued revenues that bullfighting generates, the aficionados of this retrograde "sport" resort to thinly-veiled excuses or explanations that frankly offend the intelligence of even the most uncritical inquirer.

Here are but a few of the characteristically flawed rationales advanced by the bullfight aficionado in justifying his blood lust:
.
· This is what bulls are for: Pure-bred bulls (Bos taurus) have
been in existence for a very long time - far longer than man's custom of enclosing them in a corral for the purpose of creating a spectacle of their agony and lingering death. We should recall that various primitive civilisations of Africa and Asia venerated bulls as a god-like incarnation of beauty, fertility, nobility and strength.
It would seem, however, that certain "developing" nations have actually taken a step backwards, as their taste for morbid entertainment now allows the desecration of what was once divine.

· Fighting bulls were made to fight: Bulls are not "made" for anything; they are born just like any other mammal. Their temper is simply due to their instinct of territoriality, and this characteristic has been exploited by certain individuals for the sake of mass amusement.

.
· Bulls are by nature ferocious:
If a bull's territory is respected the animal will not attack. A bull in its natural habitat is actually a rather tame animal, and will only attack out of fear, self-protection or territoriality.What Earth being, including the humans does not defend their life and fierceness hard, when they know that this one is going away to them to snatch of the most insensitive form. The bull in natural state is tame, it only attacks by fear and in self-defense, or by predominant territoriality, characteristics in all the animal, among them " homo sapiens".
