VICTOIRE!!!! PETA INDIA FIN DES BOEUFS UTILISES DANS CE FESTIVAL

The Honourable Supreme Court of India passed a landmark judgment in favour of PETA India and the government body the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) clarifying that bulls must not be used in jallikattu, bull races, bullfights or any other similar type of "sport". PETA was represented in court by leading counsel Raj Panjwani.
PETA has campaigned vigorously against the use of bulls in these cruel events. PETA investigators have found that terrified bulls are deliberately disoriented, have their tails twisted and bitten and are stabbed, punched, jumped on and dragged to the ground. During races, bulls are often hit with nail-studded sticks. In bullfights, the round ends when one of the bulls is either killed or manages to flee. PETA's campaign to end this abuse was supported by legendary actors Hema Malini and John Abraham, both of whom had written to the Ministry of Environment and Forests calling for jallikattu to be stopped.
The Supreme Court also noted that the penalties for cruelty to animals under The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, are weak and that the act requires an update. The AWBI had formulated a draft Animal Welfare Act, 2011, to strengthen the law, but this draft has yet to be passed.
