When someone says it is cruel to the animals, one should also note that nothing is cruel than killing them and eating them for food. Are human being so barbaric that they cannot find their own food without hurting the animals?
How come all of a sudden people started against this sport. I agree that it is very cruel to the animals. But let people first stop butchering these poor animals and eat them. Then they all can talk about the cruelty to them.
They will wait in the line to watch the animals butchered in front of their eyes, skinned and then cut into flesh and take home and eat them. They are not really bothered about the animals, just double standards.
But of course what do you expect Indian Politicians to do.
