@ Ruzo
you are a moron. Religion does come in this. As this kind of activities are cultural. While lots of Temples abandoned sacrificing animals, our Govt or supreme court cannot rule `against Bakri iid. Because it will lose vote bank. Everybody should be treated the same.

Moron, why bring a religious twist to this? Why can't you guys leave Religion out of anything? This was an order by the Supreme Court, not by any government, infact if you read the article you will realize that the government is asking for the ban to be lifted , not the contrary and don't you know that Rural tamilnad also has muslims and christians and other religions as well. IMHO ,Torturing an animal is worse that killing it , Killing it for food is way different than torturing something for mere entertainment. Food is a basic need, eating plants is no less cruel than eating meat for it can be argued that plants are living things too.So comparing bull fighting with butchering animals for food is fallacious reasoning. Anytime anybody wants to do something good, there is a group of petty people like you who will argue "did the govt. stop what that religion is practising? THEY are still doing it etc." Dude, good things have to start from somehwere , so set aside pettyism and look for the common good.

The fact is this ban was sought by animal rights activists despite assurance by TN govt. that the bulls would not be harmed in any way. Therefore our animal rights activists are clearly anti-Hindu as is the TN govt. which chooses only to give assurance and supporting role rather than fight against the ban. Your argument for killing cows is nothing but ludcrious. Plants cannot feel pain the same way as cows and its certainly possible to eat vegetarian without killing the plant. That is the beauty of many indic religions like jainism and hinduism. They advocate love and compassion to animals unlike islam which encourages slaughter of both animals and non-believers.

If you say torture is worst than killing, dont you think the practise of halal should be stopped. Isnt that unnecessary torture of animals before their death? Arent you being too hypocritic?
