Bulls used for mating purposes only.. Why Jallikattu is banned?What is A2 milk?
Mating is not the sole
purpose of bulls… Jallikattu is one of the chronological order to sustain
different bull breeds. Read the answer fully to get more clarity on Eru

There were 130 or so cattle breeds in India 100
years ago and now there are only 37. Unless we engage with the traditional
livestock keepers and support them, we will lose these breeds as well as lay
the ground for commercial cattle based dairies and slaughter houses to dominate
the country
Tamil Nadu had six cattle breeds earlier and now we
have lost the Alambadi breed.
The remaining breeds are Kangayam,
Pulikulam, Umbalachery, Barugur and Malai Maadu. There are a few more minor breeds
without proper documentation or care. Most of these are on the verge of
extinction. Each breed has evolved in perfect harmony with its local region.
·
Kangayams fed on grasses in the calcium rich
soil are the sturdiest animals and can pull up to 2.5 times their body weight
with ease.
·
Umbalacherys have shorter legs which make it easy
for them to walk around in the water filled fields of the delta region.
Barugurs in the hills of Erode district.
·
Malai Maadus in Theni district are grazed in reserve forests and
are adept at walking around in hilly terrain. The Pulikulam, found mostly in
the region around Madurai, Sivaganga, Ramnad, Pudukottai and parts of Tiruchi
district are herded in several hundreds and walk all day grazing before being
penned for the night.
·
Pulikulam is a semi-domesticated breed. The
bulls are known to attack anyone except their owners. They are mainly grazed in
reserve forest lands. Herders need to be able to tame them without ropes as the
nose ropes are removed while grazing.
Native cattle have evolved over millennia, adapting
to the local environmental conditions. They are an integral part of farming,
especially for small and marginal farmers as they serve multiple purposes like
·
ploughing,
·
transportation,
·
source
for farmyard manure,
·
organic
treatments like panchagavya, jeevamritham, and
·
A
source of A2 milk.
What is A 2 milk?
It is the protein which
is found only in ancient cow breeds,because of this only you can't find obesity
in countryside and It also makes humans immune to type-1 diabetes. Due to the
mutation and hybrid these days many cows produce very minuscule proportion of
A2 protein with majority A1 protein in it, which causes obesity, heart diseases
and Type 1 diabetes.
The native cattle are both an input as well as
insurance to the livestock keepers. In ancient Tamil and Sanskrit literature,
cattle is considered as wealth. Cattle were measured as a unit of wealth. In
the Tirukkural, education is considered to be wealth and the word used for
wealth is madu(cattle). So it has a socio-cultural connotation which denotes
lives and livestock having co-existed and cultures having coined usages around
them.
Why Jallikattu matters?
Stud bulls are reared by people for jallikattu. The
ones that win are much in demand for servicing the cows. Small farmers cannot
afford to keep stud bulls, so each village has a common temple bull which
services the cows of the village. Jallikattu is the show where bulls are
brought and exhibited. The ones which are most agile (and virile) are preferred
by farmers. The calves from such bulls are in demand.
The intricate connect between these events and
farming can be seen from the chronological order in which showcase events like
jallikattu happen first, then the shandies(A countryside market) and then the
main farming season starts. Once harvest is done, farmers take their bulls to
participate in such events over the next few months; spectators and visitors
make a note of the top bulls and seek them out in sandhais (cattle
shandies/markets) which happen from December till April all over Tamil Nadu.
The calves and bulls are bought for jallikattu and some of their offspring will
be castrated and used as draught animals in transport/farming.
If Supreme Court is that just, it must have
appointed a committee to study and submit report. What SC did now is completely
wrong. They gave judgments based on PETA video clips,which are completely
malafied.
Power corrupts, absolute
power corrupts absolutely this is judicial injustice done to Tamilans.
