The Bullring of the real Maestranza in the city of Sevilla has no bullfighting school as such within its facilities. However, it is normal for organizing events and workshops from bullfighting For school children and the general public.
A few years ago thousands of school children go to these classes, but The unheard of is that many do it during the time they should be in class, learn something that is not mistreated animals.
From the Ecologist organizations are completely indignant and wonder what it can be like in the 21st century 21st century This kind of experiences is still allowed, which is anything but educational.
Bullfighting is not art or culture
More than a thousand schools of Andalusian education centers have participated in one out -of -school activity organized by the Bullring of the Sevilla teacher, in which they have received practical bullfighting. From the field of education of ecologists in action Andalucía, we want to express our deep rejection that these types of activities will continue to take place in the Andalusian Education Agenda of the 21st century.
Neither values in values, nor respect for the rights of animals, nor the basic principles of coexistence They have a place in a workshop that teaches minors how the different phases of a bullfight are performed.
It is unacceptable that school time is used in the mid -2025 to promote a practice that implies animal violence and suffering. The standardization of bullfighting Among minors, a setback in the construction of a course has been adapted to the 21st century.
At a time when more and more countries prohibit or show limit with animal abuse, in Andalusia the Popular party is looking at the other way and even to continue to promote bullfighting in childhood. While other communities promote activities related to sustainability and animal welfare, it is still sold in our country as “educational experience” which is actually an apology from violence to living things.
We remember that International organizations such as UNESCO, the UN Rights Committee and numerous organizations for children Psychologists They have warned the risks to expose minors to shows or practices of violence against animals, and have explicitly recommended not to attend children or participate in events in Bullfighting.
From the field of education of environmental activists in action Andalucía, we demand that the Ministry of Education and the defender of the minor will be pronounced during school hours about the suitability of these types of workshops. We cannot allow minors to continue to teach that abuse can be culture. For a school without violence.
