Indian court bans taming the bull

I gotta wonder about this - I've seen this sort of thing before. I know nothing of the origins of the Tamils, but the resemblance between this and ancient Indo-European rituals is quite striking.

And just for the record, I don't think that activities like this constitute animal "cruelty" in any way, shape or form. To be an effective ritual the animal has to be completely free - and that's hardly cruel.

The Indian Supreme Court bans a bull-taming sport popular in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
