Articles of category "Bullfighting cruelty"

While many people see bullfighting as primitive, the bullfighting culture has deeper ideas and notions than to simply kill a bull in front of the audience. In fact, the show is not primitive either, though it evokes some primitive pulsing in humans. The bullfighting culture has evolved throughout three thousand years and turned into a ritual with many aesthetic aspects and processes.

Every year, thousands of bulls are tortured in Spain, Portugal and France in the name of cultural traditions, and numerous campaigns, maintained to ban a cruelty tradition of bullfighting, seem to have no much effect. The tradition survives and even spread out and gain the popularity in other countries like, for instance, China, where bullfights have started taking place comparatively recently.
