Jallikkattu

Scores of animals are killed daily for food and apparel. And the Indian Supreme court cried animal cruelty first and had a change of heart later. Now the Indian Supreme court knows something that we don't know? Is Jallikkatu "humane" enough now?

Tax payer's money is spent on providing safety and security for one and all including the bulls and also on the legal team. Why didn't the government spend that on people's welfare? Why don't we have a regulatory authority that frames and enforces rules on what is spent and how it is spent?

Court's precious time was wasted on such a petty thing. Last thing the TN government needs is a regulatory authority to conduct this sport.
