Summary:
more-inTerming the Presidential assent to Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Karnataka Amendment) Bill 2017 that insulates Kambala from the purview of the Act as regressive, People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has vowed to continue its efforts to stop Kambala. While the matter is referred to a five-judge Bench, PETA would now examine the Karnataka Act and continue its efforts to stop Kambala, Dr.
Valliyate said. He noted PETA has investigated seven Kambala events in the State since the promulgation of the Ordinance in July 2017. This is a black mark on the nation which is fast losing what was its honourable reputation as a country that respects animals. The investigation has found that buffaloes were subjected to severe cruelty..
