Segment By John M. Fresh | The End Of 'the Last Serious Thing' 사설토토
Uplifting news is scant nowadays, so when we find a model, it merits celebrating:

In a momentous turn of events, a Mexican appointed authority in June expanded endlessly a restriction on bullfighting in Plaza Mexico, which, with north of 41,000 seats, is the biggest bullfighting setting on the planet.

The strain to abrogate bullfighting has been working for a really long time. The earliest kept bullfights in Catalonia occurred in the fourteenth hundred years, however the delightful square in Barcelona has been inactive for 10 years. No less than five Mexican states have proactively prohibited bullfighting, and others make certain to follow now that, following 500 years, the mark of the end for bullfighting has been sounded in Mexico City.

This is something to be thankful for. The bullfight is a bloody display that is rationally weak, however many have attempted. The best exertion in English was delivered in 1932 by America's chief enthusiast Ernest Hemingway. In "Death in the Afternoon," he envisions bullfighting as a ritualized show portraying the prototype struggle among man and nature, praised by mental fortitude, effortlessness and excellence.

Yet, artistic pundit Max Eastman referred to Hemingway's point of view as "Bull in the Afternoon." At best Hemingway's vision of the bullfight is excessively romanticized, deficient and, during the current day and age, antiquated. As far as I can tell, the bullfight is 10% craftsmanship, 5% satire and 85% butchery. Also, the initial two don't legitimize the third.

Nor do they legitimize one praiseworthy component of bullfighting: While the bullfight might be a questionable portrayal of the contention among man and monster, it by and by lets us know something advantageous about the connection among man and meat.

After the bull is executed in the square, he is constantly butchered and consumed. The Spanish and Mexican eagerness to freely recognize and show the horrendous association among killing and eating communicates with severe trustworthiness a reality that we for the most part overlook.

Our meat comes enveloped by cellophane and settled in Styrofoam, in sizes and shapes — patties, round steaks — that look similar to the creatures from which it came.

Our cutting edge approach to eating makes it simple to fail to remember that in the event that you're a meat-eater — and you likely are; I am as well — a huge part of your eating routine comes to the detriment of extensive wretchedness, torment and blood draining.

Bullfighting isn't dead yet, however the pattern is clear. We praise Mexico and Spain for going along with us in a more illuminated 21st hundred years. In any case, any compulsion to feel hypocrisy or predominance about their late nullification of bullfighting rings empty even with our hesitance to recognize the pathetic circumstances under which meat-creating creatures are brought and butchered up in the United States. Or then again the way that we in any case treat creatures.

Obviously, we kill to eat. Yet, our visual impairment to the hopelessness and blood draining makes it simple to likewise disregard the brutalities of pony and canine dashing, the mercilessness of marine vertebrate constrainment, the agonies of creature trial and error and the double-dealings of the American pet industry.

Could we be better individuals assuming we needed to kill and butcher our own meat, chicken and pork? Or on the other hand to watch another person make it happen? I don't think so. Yet, that shouldn't keep us from being more fair — and caring — about how we treat creatures.

The eminent Spanish writer Federico Garcia Lorca referred to bullfighting as "the last serious thing." He exaggerates. The world is loaded up with serious things, and the bullfight is only one of them.

In any case, the bullfight is destructive serious. The matadors handle their specialty at impressive gamble. In some cases, as per genuine devotees, they figure out how to tweeze excellence out of a shocking exhibition of public phlebotomy.

But at the same time it's an erroneous date whose values were in every case to a great extent questionable. The annulment of bullfighting is one more achievement of human advancement, alongside the cancelation in a large part of the universe of "sports, for example, bear teasing, fox hunting, dogfighting and cockfighting.

In any case, basically the bullfight is unflinchingly fair. This is an interesting point over our next cheeseburger. Or on the other hand the following time we see a shrewd monster, for example, a dolphin bound in what, as far as he might be concerned, are the elements of a bath.
