All of us know about the festival of San
Fermin, or the
Pamplona bull running as it's more commonly known outside Spain officially begins at midday on 6
th July every year with the '
chupinazo' which takes place on the balcony of the
Casa Consistorial in
Pamplona. Thousands of people congregate in the square awaiting the mayor's official announcement that the fiestas have begun, a rocket is launched and the partying begins.
But very few of us know about bull taming sport of Tamil Nadu, India called "Jallikattu" which is a traditional event held in January and is part of the Pongal celebrations.
Looks like human aggression against bulls is wide -spread and draws pleasure world over.

Do not understand why Founder-director of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Ingrid Newkirk is holding potest against Jallikattu? This all about sport and nothing to do with animal cruelty.
