Finally, the traditional sadism of a significant number of English and contempt for animals in Spain as in other Catholic countries has been justified in the secular attitude of the Church, it suffered a first stroke. At least in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe most advanced cities of Madrid, bullfighting is prohibited in a little over a year. And to think that twenty years ago there were in Spain - from an article I read on Science and Ecology in May 1989 - even "bullfighting schools for children." Here, out of curiosity, first article posted on the website of ANSA, title and abstract of the article of my old complaint. And by the way, to prevent the usual accusation of being "anti-Catholic", guess which party was opposed to the first English and decisively to the "No to Bullfighting" the Catalans? The People's Party, of course , that is Catholic. As evidence that everywhere now, "the Catholic party, as in the days of Cavour means not un partito religioso, che sarebbe rispettabile, ma solo un partito che usa il pretesto del cattolicesimo, o meglio di una corrente del cattolicesimo, per nascondere che in realtà è ultra-conservatore o reazionario.

Vanteria da "machos" di provincia, la plaza de toros è sempre più ridicola. Col pretesto che è un rito di antichissima tradizione la corrida continua ad essere uno spettacolo molto seguito, in specie dai turisti. A Madrid esiste una scuola taurina per giovanissimi. Contro l’ottusa carnage of the bullfights in Spain have deployed many movements seeking to abolish this torture subsidized by the state. A survey conducted in 1986 revealed that the majority of Spaniards opposed to bullfighting. Bullfighting enrich a few famous bullfighters and breeders, but do not employ many people

Outside parliament, the police strengthened the cordon that separates two groups of protesters, one in favor of the measure, the other against, already gathered in the early hours of the morning. With this decision, the Catalonia region of Spain became the second to abolish bullfighting events, after a similar decision taken by the Canary Islands in 1991, though not celebrated in the archipelago now fights for years.
Although aficionados of this show were in sharp decline, today's is a blow to the fiesta, which is abolished in one of the most important regions of Spain. The ban approved - by a margin greater than expected (68 in favor, 55 against and 9 abstentions) - will come into force from 1st January 2012 and will only apply to the Plaza de Toros Monumental Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe only one still active in Catalonia.
"I voted against abolition because I believe in freedom and I would have preferred the continuation of bullfighting or not to be decided peacefully by the social mores of the Catalans" said the Socialist Prime Minister José Montilla of the Catalonia, the first to appear in press conference after the abolition of the English fiesta in the region. Montilla said he respected the decision of the parliament, called on all "moderation" and "respect" and stated that it does not want to use the vote of the parliament as a "thermometer relations Spain-Catalonia". For the spokesmen
Platform animal Prou! today's is instead "a success which shows the good state of health of Catalan society" and that "puts an end to five centuries of cruelty." The Catalan Partido Popular for its part announced it will submit to Parliament an initiative to declare the Madrid bullfighting "party general cultural interest" to prevent in this way that the regional courts can eliminate the spectacle of bullfighting.
