Who is PETA & why are they so keen in stopping jallikattu?
I see. Has the Indian government taken any action on this issue?
Yes, in January 2017, the Indian Supreme Court upheld a ban on the practice of jallikattu in Tamil Nadu, the state where the event is most popular. The decision came after widespread protests against the ban, but the court ultimately decided that it was necessary to protect animal welfare.
