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.
