The Professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Valencia (UV) Javier de Lucas has considered this Thursday "unjustified incomprehensible" declare bullfighting Cultural Interest (BIC), "unless it is for reasons of electoral expediency" .

In this sense, has criticized this proposal made by both the president of the Comunitat Valenciana, Francisco Camps, as well as his counterpart in Madrid, Esperanza, darkfall gold, Aguirre, since it means "raise" the run "in good condition and to assign relevant legal public resources .

The teacher was one of the experts who spoke at the recent debate on the issue held in the Catalan Parliament, to rule on the prohibition of bullfighting on 28th July.

The expert admitted in his speech that "not a few may seem beautiful the spectacle of bulls",, aika gold, but assured that "it is a beauty whose cost is not manageable." "There is no legal rationality that can be built only on the existence of a habit if that habit causes significant damage to a good turn relevant," he argued.

In this regard, has described as "indisputable" that there is harm, "the suffering inflicted by ill-treatment, torture," apostille Professor of Philosophy of Law, who has polemics on this issue with the philosopher and writer Fernando Savater " and those who think that the prohibition of bullfighting would affect a right that only concerns the freedom of individual conscience, "he stated.

From a study of beta-endorphins secreted by women in childbirth, and after establishing a difference between those who were ready physically and psychologically, explainedthat "beta-endorphins are an important marker of stress so that the greater the sensation of pain, the greater the discharge of beta-endorphins."

These seminars are a follow-up of the subject, with the same title, has been taught for five years in the Faculty of Law. As pointed out by Professor Consuelo Ramon, director of Human Rights at the University of Valencia (HDI), "is a pioneering initiative at the university level Spanish", which subsequently have been adding other universities such as Autonoma de Barcelona and the Carlos III de Madrid.
