One of the things I remember from my childhood is my paternal grandmother sitting in her dining room with her eyes fixed on the television watching bullfights and me and my brothers playing around without watching television, because of not understanding what grace there was in making a bull suffer.
Well, that stamp will not be repeated because Spanish Television has decided to stop broadcasting bullfights after a team of specialists concluded that they produce anxiety and anxiety in children.
In addition, the news has been known that in the style manual of the television channel bullfights have gone from being part of the shows section to making it a section entitled "Violence with animals".
Tradition vs. violence
Surely, bullfighting news will have fallen like a jug of cold water, since they argue that bullfighting is a tradition that should be available to everyone, even on television.
However, whether tradition or not, in the eyes of a child (and also in my eyes, why not say it), a bullfight is nothing more than a show in which people applaud a person who is dizzy and Torture an animal until it is killed.
Bearing in mind that the schedule in which these shows are usually performed is part of the television strip protected for children, it is logical that they stop broadcasting, since its emission could serve to normalize violence towards animals.
A good start, let's continue ...
Undoubtedly, this is a good start in which one begins to think, finally, of what children perceive when they turn on the television. Now we just have to follow this control (I know it is done, but it is not enough) to try to avoid according to which films and according to which programs that are totally inappropriate for children (and I would almost say that for the human species).
As for bullfighting lovers, it only occurs to me to suggest that they formally request the retransmission of such deferred events, after hours. This way they can continue to enjoy it without the risk that children can see it.
