No to the "Bullfighting of La Insurgencia" in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Closed

Enough with torture:
1) The process to prepare a bull begins a day before the run. 24 hours before entering the arena, the bull has been subjected to confinement in the dark so when released, the light and the cries of the spectators terrify him and try to escape by jumping the barriers, causing the image to the public the bull is fierce, but the natural condition of the bull is to run not to attack. Also the horns has trimmed to protect the bullfighter. They hung sandbags in the neck for hours.

He was beaten in the testicles and kidneys, induced diarrhea by putting sulphates in the water he drank all this is that in order to get into the ring weak and in disarray. It has anointed with fat in the eyes to obstruct his view and in the legs put a substance that produces burning and prevents to keep still, so the bullfighter does not tarnish his performance.

2) The horses of the picadors on horses that no longer have commercial value, because the animal dies in 3 or 4 runs at most, is very common that the animal suffered multiple broken bones, ribs or disembowelments. They are placed overalls pretending that they are protected, but in reality is that the public does not see the wounds the horse often have, like exposure of viscera.

3) The work of the picador:

If the bullfighter perceives that the bull charges energetic, orders the picador to do his job: it consists of bleeding the bull to weaken him, sticking a spear in the back that destroys muscles (trapezius, rhomboid, thorny and semispinalis, serratus and neck transverse) Injures also blood vessels and nerves.

This is so that the bullfighter can provide artistic expression that is supposed to have this show. A single jab could destroy the bull, so it is done in three times "for the enjoyment of fans."

4) flags:

The banderillas assure that the bleeding continues. The banderillero try to put them right in the same place where the metal hooks damaged the bull. The hook moves into the wound with each movement of the bull and rubbing the crutch, the weight of the flags has precisely that function.

Some flags have a harpoon of 8 cm, and are called "punishment", to which it is subjected when the bull has managed to evade the picador lance. The flags prolong the tearing and deepening of the internal injuries. There is no limit to the number of banderillazos: as many as necessary to tear the tissue and skin of the bull.

5) Demonstrating Courage:

Blood loss and spine injuries prevent the bull´s head up normally, thats when the bullfighter can approach. With the bull was near exhaustion, the bullfighter is not worried about the danger and can afford to withdraw from the bull after a specially artistic pass, throwing out his chest and strutting to receive the applause when the bull reaches this pitiful state, the matador enters the ring in a celebration of bravery and machismo to face an exhausted, moribund and confused bull.

6) The Sword:

The bull is pierced with a 80 cm long sword, which can break her liver, lungs, pleura, etc., according to the place where penetrates the animal's body in fact, when it destroys the great artery, the bull dying with enormous blood vomits. By the moment of the killing, if the bull run with a little luck dies almost instantly, but not as you think of a stab to the heart if not the sword penetrates lungs and diaphragm, sometimes a major artery, and hence the It is seen bleeding from the mouth and nose. Sometimes they drown in their own blood.

7) The torture continues:

The bull, in a desperate attempt to survive, resists falling, and often painfully routed to the door they did enter, looking for a way out of both abuse and pain. But then they stabbed in the neck with the descabello, another long sword that ends in a 10 cm blade. Despite these terrible torments, the animal does not usually die immediately by his great strength, but eventually dropped, for the sword to come tearing their internal organs.

What topped with a 10 cm puntilla, with trying to sever the spinal cord at the level of the atlas and axis vertebrae.

8) The bull is so paralyzed, unable to even make movements with the respiratory muscles, so dies of suffocation, often drowned in his own blood that gushes from his mouth and nose.

Dragging: After you destroy the vertebrae, the bull loses control over his body from the neck down, but up remains intact, so it is aware of all the horror and how it is dragged out of the arena.
