THE END OF BULLFIGHTS

The bullfighting tradition remains strong in much of Spain, but last 25th of September the last bullfight took place in Catalonia. La Monumental arena in central Barcelona hosted its last bullfight; it was the end of more than 600 years of history.

The law which let this kind of activities with animals was abolished by the Parliament a few months ago.

It created a huge polemic and the people got revolutionized.

But the point is whether the law was forbidden to protect the bulls or for political reasons. As I guess it the truth is that the politicians haven’t decided it not only for the animals' welfare but yes for the symbol of it. The main reason is that bullfights are a symbol of Spanish nationalism and they want to avoid this, they think that it makes us different. However, I believe that we have achieved something brilliant because the bulls won’t be mistreated anymore.

In my opinion the “Correbous” should be banned too, but they haven’t  done it yet. Why not? Probably because it isn’t a symbol of Spanish nationalism. This is the only really important thing for politicians !!.
