Comments on NDTV website regarding the Jallikattu ( bull fight ) report

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I had posted the link to the NDTV report on the Jallikattu Bull Fight.

 

It may be noted that the link to the news report has one comment which

reads as follows:

 

" I hope we spend the precious time of supreme court on more relevant

issues. I think TN govt has come up with a good compromise that

assures reasonable safetly while sustaining a millenium old tradition.

We don't bat an eye-lid for the millions of cattle that are slaughered

for meat or leather. This issue gets so much attention only because of

its visibility. So, what comes next? Animal sacrifices in temples?

Now I would like you all to submit fitting replies to the above and

why you think that Bull fights such as Jallikattu should be eradicated.

" Just because something has taken place for a 'millenium' doesn't mean

it ought to continue in more enlightened times. Slavery, for example,

was once a popular practice and thrived for a very long time. Now we

realise it was evil and unjust. It will take some time yet, sadlly,

but eventually people will realise that abusing - and, yes,

sacrificing - innocent animals to satisfy ignorant superstitions from

an uneducated bygone era is also unnacceptable in the modern world.

# wonder from where the sudden compassion for the animals has come for

both SC and animal activists. Why are you not fighting to put a ban on

eating non-veg food? Every day thousands of animals are being

slaughtered for sense gratification, why are you not protesting for

that? Where were you all since independence, why did you take so much

time to ban it?

# Mr. Sankar pointed out the problem of understanding culture sitting

in Delhi. Following were the judges on the bench " three-Judge Bench

comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, Justice Tarun Chatterjee

and Justice R.V. Raveendran " last name's Balakrishnan and Raveendran

does not sound to be north indian name. Grow up buddy, discuss the

issue , But NOT mislead with N & S issues like your political figures.

# Great news, Why un-necessary pain & sufferings to the animals for a

fun ?

# I have lost my faith on the Sup court. These people are trying to

ban each and every thing.How many of them are vegetarians, eating non

veg stuffs also amount to cruelty. It is an age old sport that had

spanned for many centuries, and just one judgment will deter my

children and grand children to forget about valour and gallantry..

# Once again, the cultural difference between N and S coming to the

fore. Its unfortunate that the judges sitting in Delhi did not

appreciate the fact that its part of History and culture of the people

of Madurai. The fact that the bullfight dates back to 3rd century

tells everything about how significant this race is. the ridiculous

part still is the suggestion to have cart race instead. Bull S***.
