The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India said that even the BJP supporters are “horrified” that the same authorities who claimed to care about cattle are now allowing the cruelty on it even after it has been banned by the SC.
“Our phones have been ringing off the hook this morning with calls from BJP supporters against the decision. This U-turn is being seen by many of the BJP supporters as reckless and heartless. We vow to take our fight back to the SC,” said Poorva Joshipura, PETA India CEO.
The reaction comes after the Centre today came out with a notification allowing controversial bull taming sport Jallikattu in poll-bound Tamil Nadu following extensive demand for its restoration by political parties in the state.
PETA India has documented that during jallikattu, terrified bulls are often deliberately disoriented through substances like alcohol, have their tails twisted and bitten, stabbed and jabbed by sickles, spears, knives or sticks and also punched, jumped on and dragged to the ground.
