Is Herstyler Or Jose Eber Best?

Dogs poisoned, a repetitive crime

The death of dogs in Galicia, majority owned by hunters, after ingestion of baits poisoned in the mountains is becoming a grim routine. And it is disheartening to see how often never find those guilty of crimes so cowardly, a fact not surprising given the limited resources devoted to investigate actions of this nature when the victims are irrational animals.

I read in a newspaper as a result of overwhelming case the statements of a gunsmith that, very sorry, claimed to have lost for this reason six dogs in 2009 and four in 2010. The following reflection that the distressed hunter threw the journalist was: "15,000 euros had cost me the last year and 9,000 of those in this"

For a moment I was stunned by the swiftness with which his sentence was transformed in accounting estimates, however, when I guessed the reason for this astonishing change log at the root of their concerns: that someone was talking about was probably the following weekend kill a living thing instead of barking growl and that would cost thousands of euros, but only the value of a pair of cartridges.

The sunday 4x4 with trailer - cage, cartridge belts and gun, are people just for fun with animal life without feeling the slightest compassion, by contrast, gives them pleasure. In this aspect, and analyzing it from the ethics of their behavior, are different from those that spread food with poison to kill dogs? Just do it on the legality of the action because in the end, the consequences in both cases are identical for a living. A fact is miserable and lawful, the other prohibited and miserable.

Maybe that's why I called attention to read that manages the possibility that the bleeding of dogs respond to rivalries among hunting societies. I know enough to really want their dogs, but their love is so peculiar and sometimes harmful sick, but many are conceived as mere tools. In any case, what bleak fate of dogs from the fans to put lead in organs outside, doomed as they are to be discussed between poisoned bait, wild boar tusks, traps, hanging, shooting, well, kennels ... A panorama an eternal stench of death, because is precisely that which the friends of the rifle move and naturalized trophy. I hope that the perpetrators of the poisoning are identified and serving a sentence of imprisonment, they do not deserve a lighter sentence.

Cruise For 40 Somethings

Patronato del Toro's stunning de la Vega University

The Board of the Toro de la Vega de Tordesillas , confess "feeling increasingly admired for the courageous compliments its popular bullfighters plasma fields, streets and squares", by what they have organized a new edition of "Grand Prix 2010 Value Trust People Torero." This grim Foundation for those who do not know, says there to ensure knowledge, promotion and defense of what they call their "Immemorial Tournament, consisting of hundreds of individuals, spear in hand, pursue and round up a bull until you get to kill him after a walk through with their pikes and again. They have even created a "College Lancers", considering that this show has to be preserved at all costs.

But back to the philosophy that permeates these awards, because its members not only boast every year from an unconscious sadism and gratuitous violence inconceivable raising the status of doctrine, but with this cast of awards are also rewarding behaviors that violate the regulation of bullfighting of Castilla La Mancha . Now, analyzing the first-place award at the "Value People Torero", how when the wickedness and folly go hand in hand the result is something as deplorable as this:

The four winners are designated as Valonsadero boys (Soria). In the image that perpetuates the "epic" taken in an open field, referred to the forefront three of them, standing and calling the bull, while the fourth remains at your side, but tucked into a shopping cart. The regulation, article 10, concerning the Protection of participants states: "Participants are prohibited from carrying active volunteers or useful objects that can harm the animals or disrupt the smooth development of the show"

course, that self-satisfied members of the board passed the rule by lining of their tradition and do so arrogantly expressed as follows: "Despite the regulation Popular bullfights, our bullfighting is not to invent new sets ... Three brave bullfighters accompany a fourth pilot test ... to see if the widget resist rush ... Value, science, empiricism, greatly virtues manifested in the sacred valley Soriano and moved to the Jury Board to award the first prize very happy. "

What if public tribute to an association that would lead someone talking on the phone, or a motorcycle without a helmet, or who threw the subway tracks when it comes into the station? Yeah, I know, we're in Spain and bulls when it comes to almost anything goes, from converting their agony into a popular attraction to feeding suicidal behavior.
