Supreme Court calls bull on bull fighting festival

Tags: , , , ,

Remember the The Fast and the Furious: Chennai Drift post from a year back? This post talked about Jallikattu, a celebration involving bull taming, held in Tamil Nadu for the Pongal festival. We also joked about how this bull festival server as a matchmaking service in days of yore. This festival seems to be headed the way of the dodo as the Supreme Court of India has decided to ban this festival citing “cruelty to animals”. [link]

So what do our readers think? Is this decision ok considering how the bulls are treated, including getting them drunk and having them chased down by a bunch of drunk men? Or is the secular Supreme Court being too politically correct and destroying “Indian culture”?
