    Injuries, animal welfare and ban (the reason Why Jallikattu

    Is Being ban)
    Bull taming in Tamil Nadu

    Major injuries and deaths may occur from the sport. In 2004, at least 5 people were reported dead
    and several hundreds injured. Over two hundred have died from the sport over the past two
    decades.[8] Unlike in Spanish bullfighting, the bull is not killed and there are rarely any casualties
    suffered by the bulls. Animal activists have objected to the sport over the years. [9]
    The Animal Welfare Board of India took the case to the Supreme Court for an outright ban on
    jallikattu because of the cruelty to animals and the threat to public safety involved. On November 27,
    2010 the Supreme Court in accordance with the law enacted on the regulation of events, permitted
    the Tamil Nadu government to allow jallikattu for five months in a year from January 15. The court
    also directed the District Collectors to make sure that the animals that participate in jallikattu are
    registered to the Animal Welfare Board and in return the Board would send its representative to
    monitor over the event. The state government ordered that two lakhs be deposited by the organizers
    for the benefit of the victims which also includes the victims family, in case of an accident or injury
    during the event. The government also enacted a rule to allow a team of veterinarians would be
    present at the venue for testing and certifying the bulls for participation in the event to provide
    treatment for bulls that get injured.
    The Supreme Court of India banned jallikattu bull fights on May 7th, 2014. [10][11] The court struck down
    a 2011 Tamil Nadu law regulating the conduct of Jallikattu and the judges also asked the center to
    amend the law on preventing cruelty to animals to bring bulls within its ambit.
