The Constitutional Council has given its verdict this morning. Bullfighting is not against the Constitution.
Simon Casa Directeur of the Arena at Nimes describes bull fighting as a tradition, an art, a spectacle.
I suggest he improves the spectacle by donning a nice bull outfit and getting in the ring instead of the bulls. He at least would have a choice.
Brigette Bardot President of a Foundation which defends the right of animals, says ' it is a barbaric practice' and I agree. I am a meat eater and as long as the animal is not made to suffer in life then I am happy but torturing animals for sport is a disgrace to civilized people. In a poll in the Depeche 58% of readers were against bullfighting but an amazing 42 % were in favour.
Reading the same report I discovered that cock fighting still happens in the French Antilles, part of an island group in the West Indies. Not a lot of people know that as Micheal Caine would say.
