India will run out of his bullfighting

New Delhi, 12 Jan 2008. - The inhabitants of the southern Indian city of Madurai, the only bullfighting stronghold of the country, will be left without their traditional shows of bulls by Indian Supreme Court order that the practice today described as "barbaric" and "unconstitutional."
"We will not lift the ban on the show," the judge today sentenced KG Balakrishnan, heading a panel of judges of the Supreme Court of India.
The "runs" Indian, called "Jallikattu" are really a "hunting" and domination of the bull that is celebrated on the fourth day of the Pongal festival southern, just before the harvest: the fans let loose a wild bull and dozens of people trying to catch and tame progressively.
This year, fans of Madurai and surrounding areas in the region of Tamil Nadu, looked forward to the Supreme Court order on the party, to be held on 17 January.
And the Supreme Court was clear: to the dismay of the villagers, there will be "Jallikattu" this year because it is a practice "barbaric" contrary to the Constitution of India, where the rights of the cows are among the guiding principles.
The "bull fighter" in 2007 which claimed the life of one person and injuring another 65, also has opposition from environmental groups and the Animal Welfare Committee of India (AWBI, an acronym in English) , a unique government agency that took the case to court.
"The glorious news is a decision for all animal lovers in India," he told Efe by telephone the secretary of the organization, Rajesh Sekar.
Madurai area, however, many have received the ban though, because they claim that the "Jallikattu" is older than Hispanics bullfights, they say that hunting-III century and, above all, to celebrate is critical to good harvests, according to their beliefs.
"If you do not celebrate the 'Jallikattu', these people will tough times: diseases and stuff," said an angry villager, mustachioed television channel NDTV India.
"Our purpose is not to go against tradition, but against cruelty countered Sekar. Ten types jumping on the bull ... That's not a sport. "
Although Indians bulls die in the "party", Sekar said that attendees will throw pepper in the eyes, drunk with liquor and cut off the horns, while, injecting beef and bravery to lessen the danger involved have "angry".
After releasing the bull, dozens of "brave" unarmed rush to capture, in search of a prize tied between the horns, while the public commitment to one or another competitor and celebrates Pongal little heed to the sacred status for Hindus have cattle.
"As used to be wounded winner declare the person able to take the bull by the horns for 100 meters," said P. Raghupathy, the village mayor sorry Alanganallarur, one of the centers of the party.
Although over time the "Jallikattu" has become a celebration of rural fraternity actually started as a romantic ceremony in which a young marriageable suitors should be done with the bull's horns to get your hand.
Insensitive to "love", the Animal Welfare Committee in 2004 had denounced the suffering of the bull to the High Court of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, which began a long tug of war between the followers of the party and the defenders animal that has ended in the Supreme.
In the end, the people of Madurai will not see the exploits of his hunters, although Indians still can taurófilos console with "reklas", a popular racing bullock carts that have actually passed the test the Supreme.
Either that or be preparing a visit to the summer holidays some Spanish people.
"I can not speak Spanish bull, because I've never seen one," throwing a cloak was inhibited environmentalist Sekar.
