MADURAI: Ending the suspense over conducting the famous bull-taming event jallikattu, as part of Pongal celebrations at Alanganallur and other places, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday granted permission to the organisers to go ahead with it as scheduled. The organisers can now conduct the event in Madurai, Sivaganga and Tiruchy next week subject to the guidelines issued by the Animal Welfare Board, Supreme Court and the Madras HC.

"Let the orders of the Supreme Court, High Court and guidelines of Animal Welfare Board be distributed by the local authorities to the organisers as a performance guide," a bench of Justice Chitra Venkataraman and Justice R Karuppiah said while posting the matter for hearing on January 30.

The court also instructed counsels appearing for the State government to file a performance report on the conduct of the jallikattu before the court on January 30. Subsequently, the court would pass a final order on the petitions seeking to ban jallikattu. Earlier, arguing before the bench, the counsel for State government said the use of bulls in jallikattu cannot be deemed to fall within the definition of "performing animals" since jallikattu was a sport and not a circus.

The Environment Ministry has prohibited animals from being trained and exhibited in circuses and not from taking part in sports, the counsel said.

The judges held that there was no serious complaint on the conduct of jallikattu by the Animal Welfare Department in the past two years. "Therefore, there is no harm in allowing jallikattu with enhanced safety measures," they noted.In a counter-affidavit, State Animal Husbandry Department Secretary also submitted that additional safety measures will be implemented during jallikattu."It will be conducted strictly in accordance with the provisions of the TN Regulation of Jallikattu Act, 2009, and the directions of SC," the affidavit said.

The department also assured that double barricades and extra persons will be posted in the bull yard. Fodder would be provided to ensure that the bulls are calmed down at the yard and additional police force would prevent any inadvertent venture of spectators into the yard. Security personnel posted at the exit points would prevent the bulls from re-entering the arena. Besides, enhanced medical facilities will be provided during the event.
:namaste:

Idiots...Jallikattu is a very essential part of our Tamil culture and Pongal celebrations and they want to shut it off. Thanks to the HC sanity has prevailed.

You're right,

Sucking cut baby dick,
Worshipping warmongering raping pedophile or
Ritualising cannibalism with wine & bread is barbaric.

As is incest

If akbar can ban, we can too.

Why shouldn't court ban the Barth control on street dog which is great sin. Why not IPL for havala,batting.how could a person unaware of jallikatu can make judgement on it.

This is an age old tradition and I love the SC decision!

We fucked up wanna be leftists would go to spain to watch Bullfights, where the bulls are brutally murdered after / during the fights, however we BS about Bull racing in our own country !!

The regressive left needs to be weeded out and these leftist animal rights BSiers have nothing to say about illegal cow slaughter? Why?

The way to preserve the rights of the jalikkattu bull is to make it easy for it to become food in the plate of mallus.

Indeed , this is an attempt to stifle native culture and customs by misguided foolish Hindus and slyly by foreign activists/missionaries. By banning an age old sport on basis of cruelty the native bulls specially raised for this are being traffciked across the border to beef eating Kerala from communal Tamil Nadu, we are losing native gene pool for this type of cattle also. Cruelty (and that is debatable!) is worse than slaughtering these poor animals for these idiot Bollywood `chamiyas`...

Next on the target of these activists is temple elephants in S Indian temples and buffalo racing in coastal Karnataka called `kambaLaa` about which reams are being written and published in Indian as well as foreign publications.

Udupi: Ban on Kambala, Supreme Court order to be followed
Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (RJP)

Udupi, Nov 14: Udupi district administration has been directed to follow the ban on Kambala, ordered by the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court had ordered the ban on Kambala, the famous buffalo bull race of coastal Karnataka citing the reason of animal cruelty. The Indian animal welfare board had gone to the court demanding the ban on Kambala. The court after hearing the writ application had favoured the ban on the game.

Now state chief secretary has dispatched the copy of the verdict of the court to the district administration.

The district administration had received applications to hold Kambala events from November 15, 2014 to March 28, 2015 in different places. But within days of the planned events to take place the order of the ban has come.

The Kambala is a game played in three states of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamilnadu in different forms for centuries. In the undivided Dakshina Kannada, it is called Kambla and played in its own distinct style.

Various pro animal organizations have been demanding the ban on the game citing violence on animals. It is said that violence on the animals is not practiced in the region and so many modifications have taken place in the recent past to make it animal friendly.

The Supreme Court had passed the order on May 7, 2014. But the implementation has started just now as the Kambala season is about to begin.
