Jallikattu- A game of bull fight banned by law.  | |  A few days to pongal festival court has banned this jallikattu.This is shocking news to the southern part of Tamil Nadu in India. After pongal festival this jallikattu competition takes place. Many people are ready with their bulls tamed to bring to the places where normally competition takes place. What is this jallikattu? Why is it banned?
Youngsters (male) take part in this jallikattu while bulls keep on running here and there attacking youngsters who try to control them. If anyone removes the towel tied to the bull is the winner and he is presented with cash, gold ornaments. As far as village folks are concerned this is a thrilling sport and it is to sometime loss of life is unavoidable in this sport. The reason given by court for banning this sport that the animals are illtreated.My argument is that we can’t just ignore the fact that animals are ill-treated in this sport and in the meantime we can’t ignore the plight of the youngsters who are anxious to take part in this sport. why not we have a formula and guidelines how to have this sport without being the animals ill-treated come to know the bulls are given alcohol before they join the competition in order to make them stronger and more violent. This sport was done more than 100 years. The official concern must frame guidelines so that without hindrance to anyone to make this sport a success. Will they do?
After hearing this verdict the people of southern part intend to hold this sport against the verdict. Why not someone bell the cat in order to minimize the trouble.

i think its just like bull fighting in Spain
well if this is cultural sport then must be continue as its in spain. i can imagine its now a tradition and sound that life will not be completed of that part of tamil without this game.
the best thing gov can do is to specify certain place and arena, set some rules, have some helpers as in Spain who distract bulls when they are getting danegours for fighter and continue it
rather promote it so people from other part comes and hence tourism increseas
take care and wish that all folks enjoy it and court allow it b4 its date
bye

| | 3.  subha12 (10877) | 7 months ago |  I think there should be varied ideas. it is like bull fights in spain. But one thing I do not understand, why these animals are used in game of fighting?Can't there be another way. If animals are ill treated then it is not at all good as i think.

| | 4.  sudiptacallingu (2773) | 7 months ago |  yes, even I read about it in the newspapers and I don’t think the sport warranted a ban on it. Many say it is like the bull-fighting of Spain but the major difference is I think in Spanish bull-fighting the matador has to kill the bull in order to be the winner. In jallikattu, there is no killing of the bulls. The participant has to tame a raging bull and take the booty tied to its horns to become the winner. Some animals may get injured as do some men too. But there is no serious intention of ever killing an animal over sport. Also some participants get the bulls drunk in order to make them more ferocious and run faster. This has to be stopped by proper vigilance. But this traditional sport should definitely go on.
