states, based on the developments that have registered their movement in the world, that bullfighting could disappear.
His name is Jordi Casamitjana and English. Maintains that no civilized country can be classified as if it enjoys the suffering of an animal.
The organization is led by Dutch and is called Anti Stierenvechten Committee.
TIME: Why should a citizen of Spain, the cradle of bullfighting, becomes the leader of an organization like this?
Jordi Casamitjana: Because I know a good job. Interestingly most of the world are English anti-bullfighting, because we have had contact with her and we realize its abuses. Those who have not seen it can not refuse.
How long ago is not going to a bullfight?
I keep going, to film, to discuss the tragedy. Ethologists (who study the behavior of animals) need not be at the foot of an animal to know what happens. By far we know if you have. But we must also have proof and I will collect them.
Do you think that bullfighting is an activity with future or that goes away?
Bullfighting had its golden age in the twentieth century, but not now. It is a hobby mostly adults, people over age 50, because young people in this world is not interested much opposed, at least English, and with this we can deduce that at some point disappear. We used to survey where half of the population rejected and the other half supported. Now far exceeds the rejection of approval.
Colombia "stars in this global campaign?
has a strong anti-bullfighting movement, perhaps the strongest in Latin America. I have seen many developments, such as creating anti-bullfighting city. Two years ago there were none and today we have two: Zapatoca (Santander) and Bello (Antioquia). Medellin was about to declare bullfighting, but the mayor refused Council's decision.
bullfighting How many cities are there?
Sixty-one, most of Europe. In Latin America there are two: Baños, Ecuador, and Carrizal, Venezuela.
Does bullfighting movement has been in street protests or has it evolved?
Is there an example of a bull that has been historically opposed to this activity?
Quito. A survey told us that 74 percent of the population is against it. And that Quito was one of the bullfighting cities of America. In the UK, without being a traditional activity, it was so forbidden that there are not even allowed to breed fighting bulls.
Why can we believe or think that the move shed one day you drive and slow performance torture on this animal?
In England we were against a practice that seemed impossible to eradicate: fox hunting. We did it in 2004 after it was centuries.
there no way to reinvent the run, to reduce the abuse?
There is no possibility, because the worst of a bullfight, beyond the agony of the bull, is that suffering is unjustified. It's not like it can support a cow, we know that suffering before he died, but at least we kill for food, to survive, not for sport or for fun. Bulls, including art, are arbitrary.
But do not kill the bull, for example, be an alternative that has been talked about ...
But the abuse continues. It's like if I said to the executioner, this victim did not take off two fingers but one. Torture can not be tolerated in any way.
As for abuse, "bullfighting can be compared to the circus?
animals can be victims of abuse in four ways: stress, which is for seclusion, exhaustion, causing injury or cause them agony. In the run are present all four at once. Circuses are a paradise compared to this.
bull Proponents say the bull is armed and can eventually kill the bullfighter, that's why they say it is a balanced duel ...
not a valid argument: the bull is going mining, it is weakened so that the bullfighter is not jeopardized. If anyone kills a person with a gun in his hand, the fact that she is armed does not take away the aggressor the label of murderer.
Try to convince a bull is encouraged to read this interview, that bullfighting should not exist ...
