Animalist associations have denounced the Basque bullfighting law that PNV and PSE intend to pass as an "aberration"
On Thursday, the Basque Parliament intends to adopt a proposal for a law regulating certain initiatives in the field of bulls, in order to ensure the continuity of the shows it places "within the broad intangible cultural heritage of the Basque Country".
Half a hundred animalist associations have mobilized this Sunday in the three Basque capitals to oppose the proposed law on bulls proposed by the PNV and the PSE-EE, which would regulate the presence of minors in bullfighting, among others, and which they consider an "aberration".
Next Thursday,the Basque Parliament will address a proposal for a law regulating the "Taurine Promotion Festivities" to ensure the continuation of these shows, which it places within the "extensive material cultural heritage of the Basque Country": the release, with or without rope, of calves in enclosed enclosures ('sokamuturra'), such as cutters or lockers, aimed at children under the age of 16, who may participate with the written permission of their guardians.
During the rally held in Bilbao under the slogan "No to child tauromaquia", Nerea Landa, representing the group, has described it as "aberration" for minors to "get used to violence" and "mistreat" animals under 18 months of age.
"The law runs counter to the ethical values of the Basque Country; the majority of citizens oppose it," he said.
Animalist associations believe that the law "insensitizes children and promotes the normalization of violence".
They further denounce the fact that it would be the first state law "legalizing bullfighting shows for children" and strongly criticize the "carrying out of an express procedure without full citizen participation or technical reports".
They also regret that "in addition to allowing bullfighting with minors and calves under 18 months of age, it would create a legal framework that shields organizers and municipalities, leaving animals and children without real protection".
Finally, they recall that they have collected signatures from more than 30,000 people against the regulations.
