Ban or no ban on religious basis!

Cruelty to animals in general is one thing that should be banned. In this regard, the efforts of courts should be appreciated to some extent. In Tamil Nadu  JalliKattu has been banned. Whereas, in AP, Cock fights, Sheep fights went on unabated, despite ban involving Crores of Rupees. The same is true in Gambling. Organizers are earning astronomical sums. While many families are destroyed.

Any activities is which money is involved all other things are minor. Lobby which is behind all these are much powerful.

 

Banning of Jallikattu brings in many more questions about other such sports in other states which still go on and no wonder Jayalalitha is making noise about it being banned in her state . The center should ban all such activities where animals are used for sport or sacrificed for religious reasons etc..

Killing or harming animals by any religion community should be banned in India weather it is Jalikattu or Bakrid. No animal should be killed to celebrate any religious event. 

More than anything else, Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu, Cock fights in AP or Bulbul fights in Assam are vices and gambling involving crores of Rupees. Addiction to such vices is more harmful than drug addiction. Addicts go for Heavy loans. Even sell the jewellery to take part in such gambling. In AP, though there was a ban on Cock fights and playing cards during Sankranti, , Cock fights went on. Even many Legislators took part in Cock fights. The Government did not do anything to stop this Societal evil.

The events which involve money are organised with the involvement of local administration of that state or area. Though the government has banned such type of events, but those who are addict of such things and those who makes lots of money out of the game will use their political approach and able to organize such type of events.

It is obvious. Political support plays a key role in the survival of these gambling and betting. in my own state and in my locality cock fights were held openly. organizers took the region where cock fights are held for lease. I heard,In another place, an international championship for gambling was also held. Police did not dare to enter the spots.

The religious and social ceremonies are often cruel and irrational. But these go on in name of tradition or customs. There is need for public awareness against such practices. 

The apex court banned the traditional Jallikattu festival of Tamil Nadu because during the events of Jallikattu festoval, the bulls are physically and mentally tortured for the pleasure and enjoyment of human being. In order to perform well at this event, the bulls are deliberately agitated and beaten up to make them aggressive. 

The people who are involved in cruelty against animals should be punished hardly. As people are not feared of police, this kind of events goes openly even if it is banned by the court or government.

People are roaming scotfree, as these bettings are sponsored by politicians.

In the fight between saving the bull and losing power, the politicians are naturally choosing to sacrifice the bull. Tamil Nadu CM or DMK chief do not have the guts to go against even repressive tradition  for fear of losing power. Even the Central govt has buckled for the same reason. So Jallikutu will go on.

Supreme court banned Jallikattu in Tamil nadu. People who took part in Jallikattu sustained serious injuries. Some were arrested too. But other such sports like cock fights, Goat fights and Bulbul fights went on. Politicians themselves took the lead and threatened the police of dire consequences, if they dare to stop these traditional sports. 

But in Tamil Nadu, Anbil village in Trichi district celebrated the jallikattu festival on last Saturday with 65 bulls and 40 tamers and defied the Supreme Court ban. The nearest police station gave support to the villagers when they gathered in Mariamman Thidal for this event. They conducted jallikattu as per their tradition because it is a part of their Pongal festival and a spontaneous event. 

May be. Jallikattu in remote areas bust have gone unnoticed. So are the cockfights and other such traditional sports elsewhere. But can you deny the fact that cruelty towards animals is justified ?

That is why I had suggested animals to be replaced by humans. Have you noticed how mercilessly the tail of the bull is pulled by the Tamils in Jallikattu . Now someone will tell us that the bull is tamed to not feel the pain.

Animals are also living things like human-beings. They also have pain like us. Never do such cruelty towards animals for our enjoyments. I am totally against using animals for sports and other activities. Time is up to stop such horrific and unacceptable festivities from the earth. 

I agree.though the law has stopped Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu , no one cared about the ban. In other places, law implementors, simply looked the other side. Ban on cruelty towards animals, proved to be ineffective.

Supreme Court has refused to lift the ban. What will the BJP ans AIADMK do now, with elections round te corner the only issue was Jallikuttu, now which other issue will they raise?

When the apex court banned the traditional sport of the villagers of Tamil Nadu, people are in anger. Angry Jallikkattu supporters are going to boycott the upcoming election. All political parties in Tamil Nadu are in tension because they want the votes of people to win the election. The villagers gathered together and decided not to support the leaders of any political parties for canvassing votes in the election period and not to involve in political activities.

Because of this vote bank politics, India is not progressing with the right speed. Politicians have divided our communities on the basis of religion and caste. Our country now needs clean politics.
