Jallikattu is banned in Tamil Nadu saying that it is cruel to animals. On Bakrid many animals are killed and many slaughter houses are running in India, are these not cruel to animals.? Can any court or government ban these kind of cruelty against animals?

I think every type or cruelty with animals should be banned. they also have right to survive. It is not good to hurt them for our enjoy and taste. 

I am totally opposed to any kind of game or sport where anyone gets hurt. Jallikattu can go to extremes and the bulls horns get torn out or the bull getting very severely injured, so do people  who participate in it. I wish they bban pther similar sports like cock fighting , goat fighting etc etc along with this

Instead of the bull they should make a well trained man to run and charge the public.

It is surprising thing for me how a person can enjoy with watching bleeding.

 

It shows that we human beings are basically so unkind. I am dead against of all these kind of sports. By saying this I feel these should not be termed as sports and similarly it goes for the sports like WWF and so on. How can people enjoy watching sports like WWF even I don't like watching boxing. Sports cannot be brutal, so, what kind of fun is this?

There is one more important aspect. Killing of animals or birds or even such organisms like insects will damage the environmental balance. Despite all this, Bull fights, Cock fights are going on unabated and crores of Rupees are changing hands. This is nothing short of Gambling. It's a Society evil that lead many families to total devastating results.

 

Killing and cruelty against animals should be banned in our country. No one has right to kill animals in the name of religion, as animals are also living beings and have right to live their own life on this earth.

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.

 

In Tamil Nadu, the traditional bull fighting sport, Jallikattu is usually held to celebrate the winter harvest. But the Supreme Court had prohibited the use of bulls in jallikattu festival. According to the Court, holding such practice is an offence under the law. But the people of Tamil Nadu are totally against the court law. Considering their deep attachment to the conduct of Jallikattu, Chief Minister Jayalalitha and other political leaders of Tamil Nadu demanded the Centre to take necessary steps to facilitate the event. 

CM of Tamil Nadu requested the PM, Modi to take the route of Ordinance. However, the Apex court refused. Jallikattu has been banned.

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.
