snip for pensioners and dependents ,
and hundreds of millions of euros for the bullfights!
In the midst of the tough, socially unjust economic adjustment that will greatly affect pensioners, employees, hospitals and schools, it seems that bullfighting, for our dignitaries and leaders are not priority issue when the time of economic cutbacks. One might wonder how even
can continue to justify public subsidies to keep the cruel business of bullfighting, when it comes to a medieval "tradition" itself of "black Spain", in addition, it can be sustained only if it receives continuous Joint injections of public money, but curiously against the will of a comprehensive and consolidated consensus of more than 70% of the population claims not interested in anything that bullfighting, and nor should convince all that new Kafkaesque monstrosity designed by the President of the Comunidad de Madrid Esperanza Aguirre, in his attempt to establish more "National Day" with the medal of the " Cultural Property. "
To give an indicative figure and about, and certainly very short, behaving state aid spending over 564 million euros in 2007, ie it is a good stream of money dedicated to promoting citizenship and make viable the very special and festive daunting economy built around the torture and death of a noble and beautiful animal in a public arena, under a cheerful applause for sleeping any moral sensibilities of compassion and relief to the cry of an animal, they intentionally cause injury to his agony. This amount represents more than 10% of all proposed cuts to reduce the deficit. Therefore, any ban of public subsidy to the bullfighting could save money from the state budget and be aimed at improving the social situation of many of the weakest and most in need.
If you now are cutting and delaying many public works and cultural events are not essential, why not cut off the supply arises from municipal aid, regional and state the immoral public torture of a sentient animals capable of suffering and emotional?
With the "bread and circuses" and the "bread and bulls" perhaps the major parties want to divert public attention from the high social costs of economic crisis. But instead, a compassionate and caring response to the crisis should benefit both people and animals not humans.
