    In Spain the bulls have won, suspicious cumshot. All 'Arenas in Madrid, on the occasion of the twelfth fight of the Feast of San Isidro. the bulls got the better of the bullfighters and the bullfight was postponed. A real revenge of the animals on man and on the bloody traditions that the losing bulls would like. At every bullfight, bulls and bullfighters risk their lives. Is it time to say goodbye to challenges for good?

    The bullfight that took place yesterday in the Plaza de Toros di Sales it stopped after only an hour. All three participating bullfighters were seriously injured by the bulls and were taken to the hospital. It had not happened since 1975, always during the feast of San Isidro, to suspend a bullfight due to the absence of bullfighters.

    The first bullfighter, David Mora, was immediately gored from behind by the bull Deslio, who did not let himself be tamed. He suffered deep wounds in his legs and arms. The second bull in the bullfight injured the next two bullfighters. So the president of the bullfight could not help but suspend the demonstration, which was postponed until a later date. Unfortunately, the victory of the bulls was only partial, given that the first bull was killed by the second matador in the competition.

    The second bullfighter, Nazaré, was shot in the knee, while the third, Jimenez Fortes, was wounded in the leg. There bullfighting season in Madrid it will continue until September. The Spanish capital does not seem at all willing to cancel other appointments, despite the risks taken by the bullfighters and not even because of the animal rights protests.


    Sooner or later Spain will say goodbye to bullfights, shows that focus on violence against animals and theirs suffering for pure enjoyment? In Catalonia it already happened. From the 1 January 2012 the official ban on bullfights approved by the Catalan Parliament has been launched in Barcelona and throughout the region. Catalonia is therefore the second Spanish region, after the Canaries, to have banned bullfights, a tradition loved and hated by many, but well rooted throughout Spain. The hope is that Catalonia's example will be imitated by the whole country.
