good is it now? Men fighting animals or men and women were thrown to the beasts as punishment dishonorable, and their deaths, became a diversion for the people. These shows lasted hours and were offered in various forms. Ovid described that used a red cloth to draw attention the animal, in order to justify its attack and death. These fighters were called bestiarrii were convicted, prisoners of war, army deserters, slaves convicted. Politics is the birthplace of the disaster since that time, as the POWER was the goal of each task. The control of the masses. The historian Suetonius tells us that before he took the precaution of limarles nails and teeth, and weaken them without giving them food and water or with a substance stunning. The people ignorant of such traps, hailed the emperor because he could kill lions unarmed, as usual. This political policy known as the bread and circuses ( panem et circus ).
In 206 BC, under Roman rule came to the Iberian Peninsula Pení, the cult of Mithra. Among the ceremonial rites of this god, there was one in which a bull was sacrificed with a knife and was baptized the faithful with his blood.
In the modern age, they begin the critical policies appear more severe against this abominable practice. The critical policies are based, mainly due to the large number of human deaths caused. These deaths were not only because of the onslaught of bulls, bullfighting generated fights between men who ended up stabbing spears between them, as well as deaths due to avalanches and to attend closely to see such shows.
TORERO OLE, make my day
Manuel Vicent said S i bullfighting is culture, cannibalism is cuisine.
