PETA to challenge Karnataka’s new law that allows Kambala
March 12, 2018
Bengaluru: PETA India on Monday told the SC that it would challenge the Karnataka government’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Karnataka second Amendment) Bill 2017, which allows Kambala buffalo races. The Bill has received the presidential assent.
As the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Karnataka Amendment) Ordinance, 2017 has already lapsed, PETA India submitted to the SC that it would file a fresh petition to challenge the new law. The Supreme Court granted PETA India the liberty to withdraw its current petition challenging the Karnataka ordinance and to file the fresh petition to challenge the new law, said PETA in a release.
According to PETA, Kambala violates Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, as participants use violence to force buffaloes to run, beat them in the face and body, hit them with heavy wooden sticks, and break their tailbones.
