Two killed by bulls during a Jallikattu event in Sivaganga...
Bulls gored to death two people on wednesday at a Jallikattu festival in the sivaganga region of tamil Nadu, one of which was a juvenile. The casualties were not players; rather, they were among the onlookers. The victims suffered fatal injuries after the bulls raced into them during the event, according to an NDTV report. The contentious practice of "bull-taming," which is a feature of tamil Nadu's pongal celebration customs, has recently been in the forefront of numerous court cases and discussions. That being said, the sport is well-liked throughout the state. The length of time a tamer stays on the bull's hump determines the winner.Actually, a number of animal rights organizations have requested that the sport be outlawed on the grounds that Jallikattu poses a risk to both players and bulls. A madras high court ruling led to the first ban on the bull-taming sport in 2006. The sport was likewise outlawed by the supreme court in 2014 due to concerns about animal abuse. Subsequently, the state government proposed changes to the legislation governing the popular sport. According to reports, this served as the catalyst for yet another round of court cases, with animal rights organizations contesting the legislation before the highest court.The tamil Nadu government contended before the supreme court that Jallikattu is "an event with great historic, cultural, and religious value, not merely an act of entertainment or amusement." The state government's law, which permits the Jallikattu events to occur, was maintained by the supreme court last year. The legislature's declaration of bull-taming as a component of tamil Nadu's cultural legacy means that the judiciary cannot have a different viewpoint, according to a five-judge constitution panel led by Justice KM Joseph.
