Spanish pop star Alaska has launched a campaign with AnimaNaturalis and Britain's People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to protest bullfighting. Alaska in her poster poses nude with three spears in her back (the spears are fake :)
Alaska said at the presentation of her campaign: "We need to stick some little banderillas (spears used in bullfighting) in the backs of those who think that the bull does not suffer... The Naked Truth: Bullfighting is Cruel."
Spanish bullfighters are planning an exhibition at the European Parliament to persuade lawmakers that bullfighting is still valid.

The controversy over bullfighting is an interesting case because it pits rich tradition against animal rights. Take a look at this amazing pod about the bullfight. Where do you stand?

I've always been against bullfighting; hopefully this campaign will get people thinking about it seriously, instead of just putting it out of sight, out of mind.

How about bloodless bullfights? There appears to be this option here in California. Click the link for more deets! -
That's my girl! I am Thanking her for doing that! I never liked bull fighting. I even think is cowardice as the animal are only driven by limited vision, JUDGMENT coordination and senses. That is animal abuse disguised as entertainment. I hope it will end!

Thats a great way to get attention for your cause. :\

Yeah, Sure! Let us go back to the Roman Times with people and animals fighting against each other for our own selfish amusement. Why not putting a Tiger against a Torero? You know Tigers does not miss a jump! Then we can celebrate a funeral of a Torero every time instead of a bull.

They should do something more civilized like hunting them with rifles instead of spears. -
when all else fails, objectify women.

The spears may prove a point, but yes, the naked body does still objectify women in a way.

Using one wrong method to try to stop another wrong method... Good Job! Aren't these PETA people usually supportive of not changing cultures for a better way of life? Just saying, Spain has had bullfighting for a long time, and I definitely doubt it will change for some whore's opinion.

Hunting and killing animals is fucking sick in my opinion.
It's for guys with ego problems that probably compensate for size of their penis (small) by trying to kill something to make themselves feel better...
Beside all that, the beef industry is killing the planet. GO VEG!! -
Killing animals is completely natural. It's a shame that something must die, but it is the only way for mankind to survive. Without the killing of animals, species would overrun the planet and force other weaker species into extinction. Killing animals is fine as long as it is done in a natural pace that does not endanger the species. Killing cattle is fine and does not kill the planet (you need facts to back up that it does.)
-
So, if you stop killing cattle, they will take over the world?
Did you know cows are a man-made (for lack of a better term) species that never existed naturally?
There are countless options in this day and age. Yes, maybe when we were cavemen (and women) we might have needed to get protein from meat, but it's 2008...
Proof?

Any dominant species (maybe cattle or any other animal) left alone without any predators or stronger species will continue to reproduce to a point where animal diversity would be very limited, and other species would no longer exist. Cattle come from the longhorns Spanish conquistadors brought over in the 1500s. I love my burger, my steak, and my other forms of meat. I get my protein from them and not some protein supplement that is a derivative of what was once meat. There's nothing wrong with carnivores, vegetarians, or omnivores as long as they don't try to force their point of view upon others and as long as their are some of both of them to achieve natural balance.

what's so glorious about sitting in the woods for hours, just to point a piece of metal, and take a life. so you can have a bear head in your living room? real cool and tough guys! i understand hunting for population control or food, but for sport, is overkill. go play painball, or hunt eachother. i hope that aliens come to this planet or (a god like figure) and punishes our species for killing, experimenting, torturing, and causing unnecessary pain and suffering to other animals we think are below us. how about your head on someone's wall, ah ha ha. i always wanted to hunt hunters, that would be fun. it would spread panic and fear in the community. and i looooove when hunters shoot each other accidentally.

In my opinion, PETA's whole animal life = human life argument is bull (pun intended.)
I really see nothing wrong with bull fighting. So a bull dies? Big whoop. All modern species of bovine have basically found a pretty sweet deal in becoming domesticated. We kill and eat a few, their species survives. Everyone's happy.-
