Une discussion via internet avec cet été Klein Xavier à propos du comportement des Moreno de Silva steers à Parentis, plus récemment les About Juan Pedro Domecq saying he was looking more for its fiereza toros prompted me to put back the date that written text and a few years ago that the magazine had published Toros in 1995 (No. 1495 ).
Every aficionado goes to the arena in the hope of fighting bulls truly brave. Every aficionado has packed in the drawer of his trial his own conception of bravery that goes from the minimal - a good bull is a bull charging the picador who flee without contact with the pain - the most elaborate, one used as the criterion members of jury-bullfighting competition. A detour
dictionaries allow us to better understand the diversity encompassed by the word. The Italians, focused on the arts, and describes what is beautiful and excellent. Toro bravo that deliver to the audience with applause. The French language, it is evidence of malice, be brave is to be brave in battle but also (by implication tell the rebellious spirits) to be a little fool, a very brave man, a brave beast really. Brave beast just as good as the toro is one that lends itself best to play the man and his offensive behavior by the good will triumph full of bullfighters. The very serious Castilian language does not, of course, Such irony is a word that symbolizes the virtues essential to the compatriots of El Cid and Don Quixote. But he kept the original meaning of the word since, besides the classical concept of bravery and fighting spirit and that of excellence, it gives pride to the idea of ferocity and savagery contained in the original Latin word (barbarus: barbarian, savage).
That brings us back to our bulls. Toro de lidia applied to as high man for almost two centuries now, should we not dismiss the term of savagery? This implies a sense of life and natural selection that applies less the conditions found in ganaderias. Indeed, the choice that man exercises through the holds, the per-cage animals in confined spaces, provision of artificial food items are in total contradiction with the idea of savagery. The two key concepts to better define the qualities of a brave bull therefore seem to be the combi-ness and ferocity.
Once it is found in the circle of light that represents for him the arena, the bull suffers incessant provocations and brave bull is one that meets all
these provocations, which fights incessantly that loads everything that moves. And this fight, constantly renewed, as it offers man, master of the game, the bull must brave the lead with ferocity. But what is the ferocity of an animal as if he has to take full advantage of the benefits that nature has given him, that is to say to toro: speed, power , horns? Thus the burden of toro expressing his bravery should be sharp and fast (con alegria), less and less, of course, as and when the conduct of combat and male domination. They rely on trust in the animal's physical abilities and strength. That's why a bull whose weakness betrays the intentions of combat-ness ceases to be brave. It would perhaps have become, but his physical disability prevents it because the sand of the arena as in many areas only action has no power and the toro is unable to act: it is more than a gouty useless. Finally the bull is brave know how to use his horns, he would be without it meekly as sheep following a piece of cloth. But we do not believe that the sum of all these qualities will bring forth a terrifying beast will defeat the coletudos and make impossible any artistic manifestation. Quite the contrary: in the load speed, confidence qu'apportent toro in both his then-physical growth and the pair of horns which are known to use, will push him to attack with frankness and rectitude, to go through with his effort, so to have a long load. Thus, such a bull will be those who make the major triumphs.
It seemed necessary to define the bravery of the bull fighting these generalities because they avoid reducing the bravery to specific actions (the bull is brave to head like this, as the legs, etc..) That tend to make us consider ani-mal as a mechanical man that could shape at will. None remains true that since time immemorial, farmers, professionals and aficionados arena have identified behaviors almost systemati-cally propagated by bulls that are described as truly brave:
- Load and reload the capes ;
- load far the picador;
- push head down, relying on its hind legs until the fall of the equestrian group;
- return several times to the picnic with a similar behavior;
- load to the call of banderilleros;
- to pursue the release of the suerte;
- load and reload the mules
- having his land in the center and die fighting stand against death.
glittering diamond emerging from rough stone, dreamed by his toro ganadero provided by aficionados, the indi-vidual who manifest such behavior can arise only from the proliferation of militancy and ferocity that we find among his caste brothers even if their bravery is not always expressed so as typed. For
why not consider two types of bravery can coexist? One who is the bravery of substance, expressed by the fighting and ferocity of the bull, regardless of the variety behavior that reveals it. She is the best guarantee against the degeneration of fighting bulls along the pond on the other bravery. The other, in fact, represents the quintessence and is characterized by types of actions defined as such by man.
These few thoughts have not been in vain if it helps to focus on the bravery a more open, that does not hesitate to move away from guns - indeed necessary - but that time has perhaps turned into dogmas detriment of the diversity of behavior toro lidia.
