I basically think Judges can not pass their thought as judgement with out getting inputs from the people after all I guess we live in a democratic country and people opinions should matter in such matters.
To one of the person who had title ".. rural morons ...." Jalikattu is symbol of strength and cows are subjected to any pain while taming them.
Jalikattu is also a popular sport in latin american countries and thank god they don't have judges similar to ours.
