Bulls Fighting Each Other Details
This article I will deal with the subject of the suffering of bulls in bullfighting. This is an article of scientific opinion, not of empirical science, but it is based on my scientific background as a zoologist specialising in animal behaviour (ethologist), as well as the fact that I have myself witnessed and recorded all the main types of bullfighting events in the world, which I have been visiting during the last two years with the intention of studying them in detail.
I will try to answer several questions. Firstly, whether bulls and cows suffer in bullfights and associated activities; secondly, whether I know any bullfighting style where bulls do not suffer; and thirdly whether we can say that some acts within bullfighting do not produce suffering.
Suffering and pain are biological traits that have been evolving in animals for hundreds of millions of years and they have been spread all over the animal kingdom by natural selection. This is because they serve a fundamental function for survival : informing the animal about what it needs to avoid. Pain, in particular, informs an animal which specific stimuli it needs to avoid (for example, fire). For this purpose the animal has pain receptors and a memory that allows it to remember what caused the pain.
