   Extractions: Our guide to bullfighting in Spain In the Mediterranean, sacrificing bulls is a practice dating back to pre-historic times. In Greece for example, killing the minotaur is symbolic of a bullfight. Bullfighting as we know it today, started in the village squares, and became formalised, with the building of the bullring in Ronda in the late 18th century. From that time, it began to follow a particular sequence of events: the entrance of the bull, the picador, the banderilleros, and finally the matador (bullfighter). Many of the picadors' horses were injured in the early days, so these heavy horses now wear protection.

   Extractions: Home Media Center Factsheets At best, the term "bullfighting" is a misnomer, as there is usually little competition between the sword of a nimble matador (Spanish for "killer") and a confused, maimed, psychologically tormented, and physically debilitated bull. Supporters justify the act by calling it a tradition. Opponents maintain that no matter what the history, bullfighting is torturous animal mutilation and slaughter. Commercialism One of the biggest supporters of bullfighting is the tourism industry. Travel agents and bullfight promoters portray the fight as a festive and fair competition. What they do not reveal is that the bull never has a chance to defend himself, much less to survive. Many prominent former bullfighters report that the bulls are intentionally debilitated with beatings to the kidneys and heavy weights hung around their necks for weeks before the fight.1 The Brigitte Bardot Foundation, a French group that opposes bullfighting, describes other methods of debilitating the bulls: "Most of the time the animals go into the arena blinded because they are put in darkness for 48 hours" before the confrontation. "Then people hit the head of the animal with bags of sand—long and violently—to deprive (the bull) of (his) senses ..." 2 One common practice is to "shave" the bulls’ horns by sawing off a few inches. Bulls’ horns, like cats’ whiskers, help the animals navigate, so a sudden change impairs the bull’s coordination. Shaving is illegal, so the horns are sometimes inspected by a veterinarian after a fight. But in 1997, the Confederation of Bullfighting Professionals, including Spain’s 230 matadors, went on strike in opposition to these veterinary inspections. The strikers claimed veterinarians were "not experienced enough" to inspect the bulls.3 However, most recognize this as just another aspect of the corruption that infiltrates a business that brings in more than $1 million annually to each professional matador. In 1996, Spain tallied $1.4 billion in ticket sales.4

   Extractions: ABC (Anti Bullfighting Campaign) International was founded in 1993 by ADDA (Spain) and Foundation Committee Anti Stierenvechten (CAS, The Netherlands). It's aim is to become a source of information and updates about what is happening in the world of bullfighting for those against it. We exchange information, campaign strategies, materials, and organize petitions, fundrising, demonstrations, news letters, statistics, etc. We publish a special bulletin every three months with updated news about bullfighting. News from Holland Postbus 1312. Utrecht 3500. The Netherlands) Campaigns in non-bullfighting countries are just as important as those in countries that still allow bullfights. International cooperation is of utmost importance. Our information campaigns have the aim of arriving at as many people as possible, and our ultimate goal is the abolition of bullfighting. Information usually leads to a change in attitude: neutrals become opposed. Our target groups are the public, the media, tour operators and promoters of bullfighting. Specially important is the information given to tourists in airports or other departure or arrival points. On the other hand, ABC Holland organizes school projects with the video "The Dance of Death". In addition, we always response to those broadcasts and publications (television programs, travel guides, newspapers, magazines) that present bullfighting in a favourable light.

   Extractions: Web posted at: 7:25 a.m. EDT MADRID, Spain (CNN) In recent years, the Spanish tradition of bullfighting has come under attack from animal rights activists who say that slowly stabbing a bull to death is a sadistic pastime. They say the 25,000 bulls killed in the ring each year don't stand a chance against the matadors with whom they share the ring. But for many Spaniards, the bullfight is a proud part of their heritage, one in which they see emotion and joy, danger and glory. They call it an art form that evokes the most basic issue: survival. The Spanish ritual, an expression, perhaps, of man's domination of the wild, is experiencing a revival. Siobhan Darrow visited an academy where young bullfighters are trained, and returned with this look at a part of Spanish culture of which Spaniards remain proud.

Formerly this bull's forebears, the primitive urus , were spread out over wide parts of the world. Many civilizations revered to them, the bull-cultus at the Greek island Creta is quite well-known. The Bible reports on sacrifices of bulls in honour to the divine justice. Also in the religious ceremonies of Iberian tribes living in Spain in prehistorical times bulls played an important part.

L. Kennedy work, On Bullfighting "I'm thinking I might actually enjoy this, if I had more time. It's Sunday, the first day of the week: the one that's for resting and possibly talking to God, but I am doing neither. I am sitting across my window ledge and thinking that Sundays are always much the same: vaguely peaceful and emptied and smug: and I am looking out over my gutter and four storeys down to my street. It's late in a mild afternoon and there are flickers of spring in the trees. The smell of young grass drifts up to me from the park and the air is also coloured very slightly with waking earth and sunny masonry. Cars beetle past, roofs gleaming, but there's no one out walking. Although I'd expect there might be on such a pleasant day, there is no one about.
