Animal rights activists protest bullfighting

Activists and supporters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, in collaboration with Aashray Foundation and JD Institute of Fashion Technology, staged a protest at Jantar Mantar on Friday, calling for an end to the use of bulls in spectacles such as races, fights and jallikattu. The demonstrators, donning horns and blood-red veils, symbolised the pain and cruelty inflicted on bulls and other animals in such events.

The protest was led by a striking visual — a demonstrator wearing a white, skeletal bull mask — and participants held signs reading ‘Stop bull bloodshed: End races and jallikattu’ to bring attention to the suffering of animals in such events.
