New Delhi: The Supreme Court yesterday refused to stay a petition filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) seeking to ban a Karnataka Legislation that legalises Kambala, the traditional buffalo race. Animal rights activists have opposed the sport saying that tying the noses of the buffaloes with a rope and using whips on them amounts to cruelty.
It may be recalled that PETA had moved SC against Kambala and Jallikattu during February 2017 challenging the Legislation passed by both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu Assemblies for having allowed these sports.
