Hi Friend,

You have received an invitation from [yourname] to support the following petition.

http://www.myonlinepetition.com/view_petition.php?title=Stop the cruel practice of Jallikattu&pno=12

Stop the cruel practice of Jallikattu

Jallikattu is an years old custom followed out in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. This custom demands loosing charged up bulls into heavy crowds of adult male* (all of the time). The aim of the game is to subdue the bull without utilising any weapons. Occasionally, more than one bull is let loose concurrently. The small town farmers accept this game as a exhibit of their manlike strength. It goes on on the eve of Mattu Pongal which is one of the 4 days of the Pongal festival which commonly occurs in Jan (close to the 15). Although the bulls are not killed they experience the psychic trauma of being chased and leapt upon by packs of men who attempt to bring them down. And if this isn't adequate The bulls are agitated by putting Citrus limon juice and chilly powder into their eyes, being starved and also given alcohol. A lot of time their tails are cut down as well which enrages them even more. The bulls are brought up entirely for this event. The Supreme Court of India banned the sport on Jan 12th 2008 but right prior to pongal they revoked the ban due to a delegacy sent by the TN government to them. Numerous people also aforementioned they would abide by this pongal as a 'black pongal' if the ban wasn't lifted. We, the undersigned, ask the government of Tamil Nadu to: 1. Ban the practice of Jallikattu throughout the state. 2. Rehabilitate the Jallikattu bulls.

It is for a good cause, so please visit the petition and support it by signing.

Thank you.
