Mangaluru, Jan 27: Buoyed by the success of pro-Jallikattu protests in Tamil Nadu, thousands of people in the coastal city on Manglauru on Friday took to the streets demanding legal approval for Kambala, the traditional buffalo race of Tulu Nadu.
Actors from Tulu film industry and activists were part of the major pro-Kambala protest held at Hampanakatta, in the heart of the city. Activists from right-wing groups (Sangh Parivar) also took part in the protest. Hundreds of students boycotted their classes to participate in the protest.
The agitators hailing from different walks of life formed a massive human chain to exhibit their unity and commitment to achieve their cause.
Interestingly, the protesters demanded a ban on PETA alleging that the body has failed to understand the difference between torturing an animal and utilising it for a cultural sport.
Speaking on the occasion, Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP, Dakshina Kannada, said, "Kambala is a traditional sport of Tulunadu and without understanding the difference between Jalikattu and Kambala, PETA had filed a petition to ban Kambala”
“They should know that there is no cruel treatment given to bovines during the sport. We all should join hands and intensify our Protest until the ban on Kambala lifted,” he said.

whats wrong in following our tradition ? these peta , goota and all dont point at throat slitting practise by one particular community , they openly brandish weapons and teach their kids how to slit the throat and enjoy the animals death ... its called barbarism ... first they should ban that than banning our kambala and jalli kattu . we should note when ISIS millitants interviewed they admitted practise of slitting throat of animals during their fest , helped them to slip the throat of humans in captivity ...
