Spain. Bullfighting. Savagery. Blood Bath Galore. Animal Cruelty. Lyvon in Protest.

And why shouldn't we look at bullfighting with a critical eye? Because tradition has enshrined it beyond reproach? That's a lame excuse for perpetuating animal cruelty for the blood-thirsty mob. This bullfighting is worse than using animals in circuses. The mob cheers whenever the bull is stabbed, and the torero raises his arms in glory after the bull succumbs to its mortal wounds. Pretty barbaric stuff, really.

Believe it or not, not all Spaniards are hungry for blood. According to Lyvon, a Spanish rock group who wrote a song in protest called El Rock del Torero ( Bullfighter's Rock ), 70% of the Spanish population are no longer interested in bullfights. If and when you go to Spain, don't go to the bullfights. Spain is blessed with innumerable art museums, cathedrals, and libraries. Don't hobnob with the boorish crowd at the arenas.

Below is Lyvon's performance as presented in YouTube:



Here are the lyrics in English:

Hundreds of bulls who are murdered
Their blood spilt by the fans
A slow agony and a bloody death
By insensitive people who kill without conscience
Impassive eyes they watch the massacre
And a gloomy government that pay for this blood
They charge us this "fiesta" Which is called national
No with my taxes to mistreat an animal
"Bullfightkill", the art of killing
Is not a culture, not even "fiesta" to murder
They charge from my incomings the mistreatment to animal
It's enough torture, final abolition
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
A clown guy, dressed in bumpkin clothes
Who claims to be very "macho" and very traditional
To any virgin he offers the ritual
And cheat so many people by ill-treating to an animal
Opium for the people who clap the trick
they shout an "olé!" to the crappy bullfighter
The jackal ends the scene with the sword
And they say that is culture the national "fiesta"
"Bulfightkill" the pleasure of killing
Is unworthy from a rational human being
Assassins and thieves 'cause they steal
The taxes from my working sweat
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it

Three Members of the Philippine Shooting Team and the Killing of Protected Philippine Wildlife

When a member of the animal or plant kingdom goes extinct, there will be no second chances. Evolution will simply not repeat itself. There are reportedly eighty bird species that are unique to the Philippines and many of them have already made it to the endangered list. And we, to a great extent, have indiscrimate hunting to thank for it. In spite of two national laws protecting Philippine animals, the carnage continues unabated. The killings could occur as arbitrarily as guys getting together for macho time, or as a result of a well-planned hunting trip involving speed boats, bird callers, and camouflaged outfits. Either way, the outcome is the same. Philippine wildlife, our natural treasures, inches closer to a state of irreparable vacancy. Not too long ago, we learned about the Bacolod Air Rifle Club (BARC) whose unbridled killing of Philippine birds and ducks became the subject of an online petition calling for immediate government intervention. My post on that most disturbing c...

William Baber, Tennessee Vet Gone Bad.

Euthanasia is suppose to be merciful. When William Baber had his way, it was far from it. Baber used the very cruel " heart stick " method minus the sedation. This means that the animals could spend as long as 30 agonizing minutes before death actually occurred. Undercover video showed that William Baber even stepped on the animals to immobilize them for the injection. Do I sound like I am describing an executioner and not a veterinarian? Very sad, isn't it? The video showed dogs’ tails visibly wagging and cats are flailing before they’re given the lethal injection . "It’s just a horrible, horrible way for an animal to die,” said former euthanasia technician June McMahon. Tennessian.com reported that " still conscious, the cats were described by inmates as 'going wild' after being placed in a container, with as many as 10-15 of them being dumped on top of each other in a 'cruel manner,' authorities allege.These animals were allegedly placed ...

Ringling Bros. Elephant Acts to be Abolished. Nothing to be Excited About. March 2014.

This is today's big news. It is all over the newspapers. Different animal rights organizations have made their respective announcements. Many people, particularly animal right advocates are celebrating.  No reason to celebrate, sorry If you believe that Ringling can commit an act that benefits their enslaved animals, any animal for that matter, I have a tall building on 34th Street to sell you. Altruism is not the motivating factor, but their profits. Why three years from now? If they have the money to keep the elephants for three more years, they certainly have the money to release them to sanctuaries NOW. It's a ploy to lull AR groups into a state of complacency, and e ase up on the pressure.  I don't think that will happen. The AR groups will persists simply because elephants are not the only enslaved animals in circuses. All of them have to be sent home for us to truly celebrate a victory. As for now, Ringling will tread water and watch if their image will recov...
