Exploring legal remedies: PETA after SC upheld validity of amendment laws allowing races like 'Jallikattu', 'Kambala'

New Delhi, May 18 (PTI) PETA India on Thursday said it is exploring legal remedies to protect bulls after the Supreme Court upheld the validity of amendment acts of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka which allowed bull-taming sport 'Jallikattu', bullock-cart races and buffalo racing sport 'Kambala'.

Animal rights groups, led by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), had challenged these practices in the top court.

However, a five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice K M Joseph upheld the validity of amendment acts of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka which allowed these practices.
