Since 1948, live bullfighting has been broadcast on Spanish TV, TV Espaniola. No mas. Tapes only. News August 24, 2007 - Hartford Courant page D5. Hundreds of bullfights are usually broadcast live March-October.
Those in favor: turning on TV should not mean having to see what bullfights do, especially when the matador is unskilled. Kids see enough violence.
Those against: for those who can't afford the ring (65 million can or do anyway), or watch cable (fees), at least keep this national cultural iconic pastime on the air.
Resolution: do tapes only, on late-night show.
This American bull approves, but is lobbying for a no-kill policy, as in Portugal. See .travelnet.co.il/PORTUGAL/09-Bullfight. The rodeo lobby supports PETA, see peta.org/campaign/army_rodeo, and adds to the platform, no cinching. The slaughterhouse lobby just says enough period. See .indopedia.org/Slaughterhouse.
