Drawing a fighting bull

in Sketchbook2 years ago

On this occasion I want to share with you the making of the drawing of a domestic and formidable animal such as the fighting bull or fighting bull, whose scientific name is Bos Taurus Taurus, which simply has been the husband of the cow; although not necessarily from the Lola cow.

They are known as fighting bulls because they have been bred solely for the unfortunate and embarrassing purpose of throwing them at the bullfighters in the bullrings so that they are atrociously tortured and ultimately executed in full view of an audience mesmerized by a meaningless spectacle. .

Fighting bulls originate from the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain), with an extinct ancestor. The powerful physical appearance and aggressive behavior of this animal is part of an artificial breeding process and crosses between the most suitable specimens for the spectacle of bullfights, a custom of Spanish origin but, according to what is said, the first events of this nature. They were carried out in Mexico by the same Spanish colonizers.

However, the oldest roots of bullfighting have their true origin in the bloody squares in the very heart of the Roman Empire, where thousands of paying fans flocked to satisfy their sadistic hobbies.

At present, there are countries that have abolished these activities or, failing that, have remitted to prohibit the wounding and execution of the animal.

In Venezuela, until now what has been achieved is to prohibit the entry of children and adolescents in the bullfights. But completely eliminating this bad habit is seen as an uphill task, due to all the money and economic power that revolves around what is known as the "fiesta brava".

So I am your very first follower! Yay!
I really like this one! It has something unsettling about it, and I just cannot stop looking!

About "fiesta brava" on the other had - it really scares me. I really don't understand this tradition at all. I am actually surprised it is still attracts crowds. I appreciate you took your time to say few words about it, I will definitely read abut it more.
