The Ombudsman has criticized the fact that the Taurine law does not take into account the effects it causes on minors
The rule refers to celebrations such as sokamuturra, cutters or lock-ups, provided that they are aimed at children under the age of 16 and require permission from guardians.
The Ararteko criticizes the proposed law regulating thefestivitiesof the Basque Country because it does not contain a report assessing its impact on minors.
This has been explained by the head of the Ombudsman's Office for Children and Adolescents, Elena Ayarza, in a committee of the Basque Parliament, in order to contribute to this rule, which aims to regulate 'bullfighting parties' , in order to ensure that they remain 'part of the extensive cultural heritage of the ACV'.
In sokamuturras, cutters or enclosures, children under the age of 16 may participate with the written permission of their guardians. 14 Boys and girls under the age of 16 may access the places where these celebrations are held, but alwaysaccompanied by an adult , eta may not participate actively.
Ayarza recalls that the UN established in 2013 that in order to guarantee the maximum property of the child, an assessment must always be included that has a positive and negative impact on this group, as already stated in the Basque Children's Laws, as well as in the draft laws of the Basque Government affecting children and adolescents.
However, he has warned that this evaluation report is not included in the proposal for a law on bullfighting, since the text has been processed as an urgent proposal for a law by parliamentary groups, so Ayarza has warned that this "problem " may occur in all proposals for a law, and has suggested that in the case of this rule the evaluation should be carried out through the appearance of experts on the impact that the attendance of children aged 3 or 5 may have on them.
In the same committee, the spokeswoman for the animalist association Sokamuturra Ez, Nerea Landa, has presented "scientific reports" showingthat , at these parties, cowboys can feel the pain, fear and anguish of and that they are evidence of them, such as attempts to escape from the square , incessant groans, very open eyes, gasps or flaps of ears.
The representative of the Basque Taurine Association, Aitor Calvo, has admitted that these animals may suffer "some kind of stress" at some point, however, he has explained that for 20 years libre bizi eta year 25 hours "work"only ; 5-6 exits for 5-10 minutes each.
He has also been convinced that these activities bring young people closerto the rural world and teach them values of respect for the animal , and that they serve to promote generational relay in the primary sector.
