Jallikattu (Bull-Fight Of Tamil Nadu, India) Comments

Excellent poem thank you for share, how I'd love to place a loving kiss on the bull's head. Sad how crude can we people be. We should get rid of such sports that endanger the wellbeing or life of others.

The sport from ancient times in all parts of the world man's unanswered quest for entertainment at risk of life for others. Your poem brings up the realities of the show.

If you ask a bull about this sport of Jallikattu, I am sure no bull will ever be bullish about it! A beautiful poem on the on an issue that presently holds the center stage.

I'm really confused, weather is good or bad. Nice poem, nice observation.

You see, you have the ability to capture the moment, to make allowance for the ignorance of individuals and to see the creature laid bare at the center not just of the ring but of the controversy too. With hypocrisy highlighted with humor-unabashed cannibals. No preaching or sentimentality just the raw spectacle and the illustration of the parties involved. This shows respect for the reader, no easy answers and many viewpoints except, of course, the bulls. Aside from all of that I also found it educational, learning new things so early in my day!

Torturing animals for sports is prevalent in many parts of the world.Cock fight, bull fight, goat fight and many such cruel sports people enjoy.It is certainly not humane to torture the dumb animals for the sake of entertainment.It is a wonder that there are demands and agitations for continuity of the cruel sports while people are silent over many crucial issues Please read my poem- Killing of a Pig by Handsome hands.This I wrote when I saw a photograph of ghastly killing of a pig in the newspaper.

Without joining sides with the agitators or the verdict of the apex court, you try to see things from the angle of the dumb animals subject to extreme cruelty for man's enjoyment! I read both the English as well as Malayalam version. I can only say.... amazing write! Spot on and timely! Only you can do it.......!
