Dear Balajee,

Thank you for a very well written thoughts about JK. Somehow, it becomes a battle between the human beings who like young men to venture into controlling the raged animal Vs those who support PETA. PETA is only an organization that promotes ethical treatment of animals as the animals don't speak for themselves. Some of their views might be right and some might be wrong. They have been talking about rats, mouses and pigs subjected to cruel treatment in the labs for years under the pretext of finding cure for human beings. When new techniques of simulation are available, the big Pharmas are still continuing their old method of subjecting the animals to all kind of tests throughout their life. I am for preventing any cruelty to animals in any form. I can't comprehend that the bull that wins JK is the best for insemination. Raising pet animals at home is a different ballgame as, in general, those human beings don't torture (other than a handful abuses reported) animals. Instead, they are showered with a lot of love and played with, fed well and given best medical attention.

How many of us have cried watching how the animals are treated in the so called professional farms? Cows and Caffs were forcefully separated. Cows are drugged constantly that they could not even stand properly. They are treated like milk producing factory. Once they lose the ability to generate milk, they are slaughtered mercilessly hanging upside down and watching other animals being slaughtered before their turn comes. We recently watched how in China, the dogs were beaten to death to peel their skin. Can everyone with a reasonable degree of confidence say that those bulls in JK are not drugged?

In my view, claiming tradition is nothing but crock. All kings were asked to assemble in the court and asked to showcase their strength to win the hands of the princess. Does it happen now? Those who need to show their strength can participate in kickboxing, boxing, fencing, etc. instead of showing their strength to control an animal or show their strength in protecting the borders by becoming a soldier or prevent crimes by becoming a cop.

What are the guidelines for JK? Can an animal understand such guidelines? Can one bull against 5-20 men be treated as battle of equals? How about reversing it to have one man against 5-20 bulls? If it is purely a sports to showcase the talents and to generate revenue, let it be declared as such with the same level of care given to the bull like the care given to a sportsman.

Very well said Rajeni, its about India. There is more to it than meets the eye. These organisations shouldn't be given this much space by the SC. The supreme courts judgement is so not right. and what you said about the media is 200 percent right.

 

In a live show kiran bedi bluffed saying she supports the ban after seeing a video of jallikattu

What a governor, what a governor!!!!!

All non veg cookery shows to be banned right away

 

Dear Balajee,

Even I am against this ban on this super heroic and traditional landmark of our Tamil culture. Bull fight is an official game in Paris if I am not wrong. Why cant this organization raise their voice in those countries. When cows can allegedly be killed for taste, banning this game is obviously of no meaning at all...I very much liked reading your snippet...Great work..One of your best snippets i would say..
