Urgent listing of these petitions was sought and has been allowed for tomorrow,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>PETA India said that the Environment Ministry\u2019s notification allowing jallikattu and bull races came despite a Supreme Court judgement which held that the Ministry cannot allow these races and cannot modify the notification dated July 11, 2011 (which banned forcing bulls to perform) without consulting the AWBI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTerrifying and injuring bulls is abuse, not sport, and this combined with the injuries and deaths of people common at jallikattu events puts a bloody stain on India\u2019s reputation in the eyes of the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaws and SC verdicts need to mean something and we look to the Supreme Court to confirm once again jallikattu and bull races must not be allowed,\u201d said PETA India Chief Functionary Poorva Joshipura.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2015, the AWBI advised the Ministry not to go against the Supreme Court judgement.<\/p>\n<p>PETA said that the court had also ruled that cruelty is inherent in these events, as bulls are not anatomically suited for such activities and making them participate is subjecting them to unnecessary pain and suffering, so such events were outlawed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court also stated that when culture and tradition are at variance with the law enacted by Parliament, the law would take precedence. The January 7, 2016 notification flies in the face of this Supreme Court ruling,\u201d PETA said.<\/p>\n<p>In just four years, from 2010 to 2014, approximately 1,100 injuries to humans were reported by the media as a result of cruel and dangerous jallikattu-type events and 17 people died, including a child.<\/p>\n<p>PETA India has documented in AWBI authorised inspections that during jallikattu, terrified bulls are often deliberately disoriented by being given substances like alcohol, having their tails twisted and bitten, being stabbed and jabbed by sickles, spears, knives or sticks and being punched, jumped on and dragged to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Three bulls even died during jallikattu events in 2014. During races, bulls are often hit with nail-studded sticks and pushed beyond the point of exhaustion. In bullfights, which often occur in Goa, a round ends when one of the bulls manages to flee (or is killed), PETA India said.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India along with other groups on Monday filed petitions in the Supreme Court demanding that the Centre\u2019s recent notification allowing Jallikattu and bullock cart races be \u201cstruck down\u201d.
