Summary Bullfighting is pure barbarism or a ritual? Is it a game, a sport, a play, or even an art? In answering this question are known to excrete the spirits. The bullfight is but one thing: the moment of encounter between a mighty fighting bull and the bullfighter, his jacket, his garment of light, and the Muleta, the red cloth. What is the appeal of this, at first glance, so unfair fight? Firstly based ethics, which is based on the bullfight, that wants to fight the bull by its very nature, it represents the purity of the fighter. Equally essential is the respect for the animal: To kill it, the bullfighter put his own life at risk. Thus he gives him the proper respect. The matador needed moral and aesthetic virtues and also the bull boldness and sophistication inevitably apply as a prerequisite for an authentic bullfight. But not even an outrageous arrogance hiding behind the alleged ethics that threatens to topple into the ridiculous? And why must the bull eventually die forever? Ask these questions and Francis Wolff Raphaël Enthoven in this impressive dialogue. For Wolff is certain: The bullfighting is an unequal, but a fair fight. And only a few know what: fighting bulls are raised under ideal conditions, they have up to three acres of land for himself, so exactly what animal rights activists call; providing species breeding, including respect for the natural wildness of the animals.
