"An effort by understanding reason to a select battle roosters elite, only the death can stop them in its intent of annihilating to its eventual enemies."
The fact that is put of relief powerfully, each time that the gallero executes their dexterities and carries to the practice its art, in the I need moment in which their gladiators should give samples of courage, valentía and fierceness; that are the characteristics that, if the fruitful one is talentoso, cause stuff their breast of pride, by being he the wise one seleccionador that has achieved modelar, pulir and to accumulate in theirStaffs such lofty virtues; offers for all that that has deepened in the bibliografía and widened its knowledge on the birds of fight, a mysterious one piélago of circumstances, the almost tangible notion that, in this singular branch of the art (the birds of battle), there is a dimension or cuts unknown, filled of latent elements and still in darkness. To try offer an interpretation of this is that it has written profusely on the Instinct of Aggression, and even they have elaborated hypothesis of erroneous every point, such as the ones that intend that the "special aggressiveness" that possesses the rooster of fight is found bound to physiological pecularities of the male gonads, and therefore to the virile sexuality. This it has been refuted convincingly by various experiments relating to the effects of the use of hormones, cited by prestigious writers that indicate only an increase of the sexual activity. Inside the same category those speculations fall that try to give an anatomical locating of the aggressiveness, for example: those that situate it in specific regions of the encéfalo; this is metaphysical mechanism and is evident that, without it imply idealistic or religious contracts on the part of who these lines writes, to settle a so complex question with the puerilidad to believe that the matter is limited to every body thatCan weigh and to measure is an ignorance or intellectual narrowness. By another side are the ones that believe that invoking the "Aggressive Instinct" all remains explained. But the gallero that observes the animals in the harshness and in the noise of the fight possesses an eye educated that indicates that it there is still an arcano by being watchful, a mystery to resolve. And it is that the Aggressive Instinct is confused so quick with the Instinct of Conservation! The present trial aspires to throw some light on the arcano of the rooster of fight, that ominsciente company that every gallero has perceived precognocitivamente and that that indefinite sensation has produced it that of that its activity contains something very special. That hacho that causes feels al gallero that its art, beyond the parcialidades of the subjetividad, involves an arcano, a "something" singular that separates to its fondness of all the others of the human task; that the difference of a very definite, though not exclusive way, finds its origin in the individual forms of the matter that is the axis of the selective criteria of the rooster ofPsychic, this is, an instinct, character this of an arduous and difficult management, by being a material body that is not susceptible of to be weighed (imponderable) neither to be measured (inconmensurable) therefore is lacking of atoms. This special instinct al which they referred other writers in the past, although of erroneous and imperfect way in which to their ontology concerns, is found in the upper individuals among the roosters of fight (gallus bankiva.sp), that is to say, an elite, developed in superlative degree, in comparison al remainder of the birds. This special instinct that causes the self-destruction and the aniquilación of the opponent to every coast, sobrepujando al Instinct of Conservation (homeostasis) I have determined to call it "Instinct Vulteránico" to distinguish it of the Aggressive Instinct. There was an author that in the century XIX carried out a description of this instinct although instilled of the philosophy of the romanticism and that by being a poet and literary was ignored in the scientific psychological literature, I refer to Edgard Allan Poe (1809-1849). The appointment that perform will not seem disgresiva, if we keep in mind that many poets with philosophical inclinations have prompted large scientific advances in the biology. It will recall to title of example al genial carries Goethe (1749-1832) who incurred in the Anatomy Compared, discovering the homología existing between petals and he know them in the plants (Die Metamorfhose der pflanzen - 1790) and discovering the bone intermaxilar in the morsa (odobaenus rosmarus) as well as of the famous one "Vertebral Theory of the Skull" in dispute with the famous one Oken (1779-1851). Poe wrote on this instinct although inside the spirit of the romanticism and describes him in his story "The devil of the perversidad" and denotes him as "spirit of perversidad" to distinguish it of that of combatividad" company this that was, in the science frenológica of the epoch, the equivalent one of the present concept of "Aggressive Instinct". Though Poe did not investigate in its causes, I recognize like my older predecessor, still when belonged to a different ideological school; another author that tried some demonstrations of this, was Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) in its famous work "beyond the Principle of the Pleasure" (1919), but invented a nonexistent company, removed of erroneous conclusions that are only fantasies hylozoístas since explained its instinct "Tanathos" as aThat it impelled al to be organic al to return al state inorganic primitive. According to my theory, there is a special instinct (the instinct Vulteránico) radically different to the aggressive instincts, which, given it extremely similar of the aspect, is confused with the aggressive instinct in an unique instinct, but that is essentially different. According to this thesis, every individual is composed of three instincts: 1º) Instinct of conservation - (homeostasis, according to Cannon, 1929) that assures the perpetuación of the individual endorsing the nutrition and excretion and that assures the perpetuación of the species through the reproduction or generation. 2º) Instinct of Aggression - That is only a variant one of the previous one, and that mercy the violence and the fight (opposition to influences of other individuals that attempted against the functions of the instinct of conservation) which or not to conduct to the death of the opponent, that is to say the influence of this forces or instinctive energy ceases or stops in the exact instant in which external actionsThe integrity of the instinct of conservation (homeostasis) are suppressed and become unworkable, which, being that such external actions are headquarters of an individual or of various individuals, or not to lead to the death from to that or to those individuals. 3º) Instinct Vulteránico - This is the true antithesis of the previous, since is a chaotic force, mefítica, whose action deletérea is presented us as incompatible with the life and opposite to her. In the instinct Vulteránico, the only function is toxic extremely, since the destruction is its last end. The difference of the instinct Vulteránico in respect of the Aggressive instinct, is that in the first nothing imports the conservation; every time that the energy freed surpasses and sobrepuja the defensive functions of the last one. This force continues operating a lot beyond the exact instant in which the hostile, external actions to the homeostasis, are suppressed and become unworkable; which is blurry and difficult of distinguishing, but that, given the subsequent results, himself evidence that has happened. In fact, when we see that of two rival that contend, one of both damages and attacks al another beyond the necessary thing, when this energy put in action loses its defensive character and becomes to surpass al own container that contains it, that is to say when the aggressive action surpasses to its original cause, we are contemplating the demonstration of the instinct Vulteránico; in that exact instant in which has itself placedaction the same one, we see that itself retroalimenta, and that the rival one that only has attacked to the necessary thing, I lack of escapatoria, continues unfolding the instinct of ordinary aggression, which only seems to serve of food al Instinct Vulteránico that enlarges of magnitude, becomes more acrid in the most climactic part of the fight, is amplified still more with the saña and the meat market and flows into necessarily in the destruction ofOne of both gladiators or of both al same time. In the instinct of ordinary aggression, the destruction of one of the two fighters, is an eventual fact, that or not to happen, being more common than a winner without the death existing be exclusive condition of its triumph. The it defeated does not have because to die indefectiblemente. In the Instinct Vulteránico, the destruction or death of one of the two fighters is a general condition that always happens and is necessary. In it, the conservation is a fact that or not to happen, in it the defeated should die indefectiblemente or can happen that it have not a defeated at all, if of you result of its action both rival they are destroyed. In the Instinct Vulteránico, when is made possible to distinguish among a winner and a loser, this last (the conquered) should always be inexorably annihilated; in it the death of the defeated in exclusive condition of the triumph of the winner. When the nervous and relampagueantes movements of a fight (in which we know intuitivamente that has emerged the instinct Vulteránico, and therefore the death pende as sword of Damócles on the head of two opponents) impede ourselves to discern in the breast of which of both rival has been opened the cover of this Pandora's box; we come we confuse us and us is not possible, for some instants to distinguish him; but thus itWe do, really, when one of the contenders, to the smaller opportunity of escape, undertakes the flight. From there it is removed that, between defense and attack there is not differentiates none, in the case of the instinct of ordinary aggression; but there is a deep distance in the case of the Instinct Vulteránico. If we keep in mind to the alelos neutros and deletéreos, is tested that it is feasible to find instincts of any utility for the continuity of the life and even opposite instincts to the life, as forces actuantes in the headquarters of the life (organic individuals). Why class of alelos (1) alelos neutros, 2) alelos useful, 3) alelos deletéreos) the Instinct belongs Vulteránico that exists in the expresses germinal of the rooster of fight, is extremely arduous question the to know it; but is insurance that does not belong to the alelos useful, since to these the Natural Selection has become them common, vulgar and ordinary, since help or promote the conservation of the life and theThey favor. This fact, that of the one that the capital character of the rooster of fight; is an alelo extremely rare, elitesco, exceptional, scarce, precious, by to have been eliminated vigorously by the Natural Selection; explains the reason still inside the world of the birds of battle, is this a difficult and so arduous art, and the reason are so cash and scarce the galleros of success and still more the fruitful talentosos. The cowardly animal, ruin and gross is the most common, prolific and abundant one, therefore is found extremely taken root to the life and firmly anchored to its fruits; its aggressiveness is only a defense, that although eventually a winner become it, is only expression of their instinct of conservation. In contrast the bird valerosa, majestic and noble, is the rarest, scarce one and reproductivamete ineffective, therefore is found weakly holds to the life, proudly despectiva to its kindnesses and pleasures; its Instinct Vulteránico is always an attack irrefrenable that seeks the aniquilación of the enemy, in it nothing imports the instinct of conservation, only seeks to inflict its opponent calamitosa defeats, still when its own life be the price toBecause of it, itself inmola thus after giving free course to an elegant fierceness of aristocratic prosapia. This class of individual, in whose veins flows a blood of the more principesca is of a higher rank and constitutes the archetype of the bird dreamed by the gallero. As already we have seen, beings of this caste, are the rarest, scarce and precious and it due to that his tendency autodestructiva and destructive in superlative degree, is an incompatible character with the life and therefore vigorously have been suppressed for the Natural Selection. With the designation "Vulteránico/To - Vulturino/To" that I have minted for this company (the Instinct Vulteránico) and whose etymology there be origin in the latin american word "vultus" that denotes aspect or face, I allude al mimetic, deceitful aspect of this camouflaged instinct that confuses with the aggressive instinct by the notable similarity among both existing, similarity this mere superficial. Me dismissal sending my respects to the readers of the present work. Juan Pablo Rolón
