France rejects anti-bullfight groups demands
Posted on: July 9, 9:07 AM by gcampos

France scorns the prohibition to minors and hardens against the anti-bullfighting 'vandalism'

France has rejected the offer of prohibition for the assistance to bullfights to minors requested by different anti-bullfighting groups of the neighboring country. The government headed by Nicolás Sarkozy, has decided not to consider these prohibition demands, preferring to give individual freedom and to preserve the rights, in this case of a fond group of more than two and a half million people in several regions in the south of France.

The one thing that was not going out forward in this attempt of prohibition was one of the first objectives of the National Observatory of Bullfighting Cultures, which was formed last March with the intention of stopping these type of assaults that in the last few years were proliferating.

Of this matter, a study has not been necessary, that the Observatory of the Bullfighting Cultures was trying to present in which the impact was analyzed of the minors exposed to bullfights in relation to another type of violent daily situations in television, video games ... that are allowed and tolerated.

On another matter, the French government not only has not considered the anti-bullfighting request but has listened to the mentioned Observatory, across their Department of Agriculture, as for the draft of a few 'rules of the game' for the raising of the fighting bull and the physical, technical and sanitary requirements of the operations.

Close to the previous thing, the Observatory has also achieved indirectly that it is the Anti-terrorist Gallic Police who will deal with the vandalism developed by anti-bullfighting groups and activists.

Jose Tomas conquers Madrid (Again)!
Posted on: June 16, 7:52 AM by gcampos

Were you able to listen to the internet radio broadcast of Jose Tomas in Las Ventas yesterday? no? Well then u missed another death defying performance from the best, yes the best bullfighter in the world.

Not only cut 3 ears in Las Ventas yesterday but Jose Tomas was also gored 3 times, and even with that was able to complete the faena and cut two ears. It was just crazy, every one was going wild even the radio announcers.

As of now there is a lot of talk about Jose Tomas, and what he gives to toreo, and what toreo gives to him. Some talk about how crazy he is, other on how bold. And you have to wonder about that, as much as I have seen his faenas (1 live many on video), he is the only bullfighter who will do whatever it takes to cut an ear. Other bullfighters may say that but, do not complete their faenas cause they dont want to "risk an injury".

How much of a risk would you take? Jose Tomas takes that risk to a different level.

See for yourself, checkout some video clips:

Tijuana Bullfight season suspended?
Posted on: June 9, 10:08 AM by gcampos

There was a report in the newspaper La Frontera this past weekend from radio personality and bullfight historian Giraldes, who said that the bullfight season has been temporarily suspended.

It was said in a telephone interview with the empresario and owner of the bullring Pepe Lopez Hurtado, that the season was suspended because of problems with "El Zotoluco".

The empresario says that Zotoluco was supposed to open the season but retracted because he was attending the Feria de San Isidro in Madrid in person as a fan. Lopez Hurtado also said that "He asked for an amount of money that could not be given; he doesnt bring people to the bullring in relation to what he is asking for. Last year the one bullfighter we lost money on, was him".

So until they figure out what to do, it looks like July 6 bullfight has been canceled.

Pop Star goes nude for bullfights!
Posted on: June 3, 8:46 AM by gcampos

This article popped up a couple days ago, in the spanish press and now the english press is talking about it....

Eighties Pop Star Alaska goes nude for an anti-bullfight campaign. She agreed to a poster campaign to support the anti-bullfight movement by the Animanaturalis association.

Alaska goes on to say, "I don't think bullfighting is at all good, so I had to do something. And my way of doing things is to not keep quiet and say what I think to anyone that may want to listen. We have no right to harm anyone, be it a child, a dog or a bull," said the star in a press statement.

The poster depicts alaska on all fours, with banderillas on her back and blood streaming from them. The poster is to be displayed next Monday.

Article from ThinkSpain.com
If still available, here is link to image of the pop star and the poster.
--------------------------------------------------------

Ok here's my issue with this article:

It states: "Since the city of Barcelona declared itself against bullfighting in April 2004, dozens of other towns across the country have followed suit.

What they don't state is that on June 17 2007 the city of Barcelona once again became a bullfight town, with the return of Jose Tomas. And has had more bullfights, AND will continue to have more in the coming years.

It also states: The most recent Gallup public opinion poll (2006) reveals that 82% of 15-24 year old Spaniards have absolutely no interest whatsoever in the national fiesta.

Which is probably correct, but 15 year olds are never interested in anything but the revolution! Most of the anti-bullfight demonstrators are kids in black outfits, you know the black tight jeans, black shoes, black shirts with CHE! on the front, jet black hair, what else, um, black eyeliner, and with a bandana on their arm, fist in the air, with nothing but a voice, of which they cant do at home so they join some group in protest.

funny, just funny
