Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Some good news

Finally some good news, the bill put up by the anti-bullfight politicians in Spain went to a vote yesterday  and it went down in flames, thank the Lord.

Below is an editorial from Mundotoro from today and also a small article from yesterday reporting on the failure of their bill.

I don't know much about Spain's political parties, and that is probably a good thing. (I'll keep our two party system of politics thank you very much.) It seems like they have several political parties with seats in their Congress and a large portion chose not to vote. Those representatives that did vote voted 3 to 1 in favor of keeping the bullfight protected as a "patrimonio cultural."

A victory for us, the lovers of culture and the bulls.

So at least for now we can sleep a little more sound. 

But I am sure the peace won't last long, the bullfight is constantly under attack by the uneducated, and there are a lot of uneducated persons out there.
