Lol I can't be doing your legwork, sorry. There's studies about it literally all over the internet.

"Many people are saying."

I am speaking from experience as well, my village which has been conducting jallikattu since time immemorial, treats farm animals a hundred times more shittier than jallikattu bulls. I'd much much prefer being a jallikattu bull than a normal bull in a farm, or even worse, in a corporatized farm factory.

Oh, so you were just trying to defend your village's sadist tradition. That's fine then; no hard feelings. It's called Stockholm syndrome, and it's not necessarily irreparable.

It is moronic to eat tasty nutritious slaughtered animals, despite being able to afford a little less tasty yet equally nutritious vegetarian food

Not little. Whole different realm. If you think it's only a little, you haven't had well-made non-veg food. Hit me up if you're ever in CA and I'll make you some delicious pork.

Oh that's because, to quote you, "the sadists won. Evil often triumphs. That's just the way life works."

Nope. This is not a new or transient phenomenon, unlike these jallikattu protests. 0/10 on turning my words against me, again. Keep trying though.

Until about a decade back when money was not involved to the degree it is now, there wasn't any torture. A bit of suffering and pain for a few hours maybe, but nothing too gruesome. Hence the plea for stringent regulations, not an outright ban

Idk about what went on a decade ago, but even if what you say is true, that is wholly irrelevant in moving forward; once money finds its way into a sport, the people involved will never let it go.

Nope, I am just giving a perspective on how jallikattu bulls have a better deal than normal ones.

Can't overcome base instincts, hence would eat any animal that's tastiest = perfectly justified morally superior humane position.

Inflict some degree of pain on an animal for one day and treat it like royalty for the rest of the year = sadistic barbaric psychopathic utterly inhuman neanderthals

unlike these jallikattu protests

Jallikattu ban, which is the reason for jallikattu protests if you dont already know, is a very recent phenomenon, spearheaded by sjws that have zero capability for nuance who go lalalala when someone tries to explain its possible merits

once money finds its way into a sport, the people involved will never let it go.

Nice pop-sociology. But with necessary regulations put in, the "torture" involved which is even now only an outlier and not the rule, would likely vanish

The base instinct being to eat tasty food; therefore tasty food => better nutrition.

Yes. Inflicting pain on an animal for fun, irrespective of how long it was done for, is sadistic barbaric psychopathic utterly inhuman. Not neanderthal-esque though; we have no real reason to think they were this bad.

You can call animal rights activists SJWs and call an animal abuser King. It doesn't change their actions; it doesn't make a sadist animal abuser not a vile piece of shit.

Nope. Money has never vanished from any sport with increase in regulations. Ever. This is what history has taught us, not what I pulled out of thin air like you just did.

Consuming tasty butchered animals despite having the option of equally nutritious vegetarian food? Sadistic, moronic and utterly psychopathic. Morally 0℅ superior to people that inflict pain on an animal for a few hours for adrenaline - another type of base instinct.

it doesn't make a sadist animal abuser not a vile piece of shit.

If an animal "abuser"(who btw treats the animal better than any human being all throughout the year) is a vile piece of shit, the piece of fking shit that consumes butchered animals so he could arouse his taste glands, despite having equally nutritious vegetarian options, is a goddamm pathetic scum of the earth only as much humane as an agitated and confused rabid dog

Dear lord, please read what I wrote once again, it won't hurt your cranium, jallikattu promise.

Spoiler alert: I said with increased regulations, the torture would vanish, not money.

No. Still about nutrition, since taste plays a huge part in deciding what we eat.

Not true. Just bigoted bile from your part. You have nothing to back any of that up. I've already mentioned the important link between taste and nutrition.

I did. It's still nonsense.

For the torture to vanish, the money should. No torture => not as sadistically competitive => no more money. See pitbull fights and/or cock fights for why this is how it is.

Still driven by the base instinct of taste - when you can afford equally nutritious vegetarian food - as the jallikattu player is driven by the base instinct of adrenaline.

0℅ morally superior

Not true. Just bigoted bile from your part.

Lol when you call someone a vile piece of shit, it is perfectly justified. When I do, I am the bigot. Okay

You have nothing to back any of that up. I've already mentioned the important link between taste and nutrition.

See how your hypocrisy was called out just above.

For the torture to vanish, the money should.

Pop-sociology again. For torture to vanish, stringent regulations should be put in place.

See pitbull fights and/or cock fights for why this is how it is.

I know shitall about pitbull/cock fights. You're telling me the torture did not vanish/become considerably minimal despite strong regulations being put in.

Doesn't matter as long as there is a useful betterment in nutrition, which there is.

So you're saying killing animals for food because it provides nutrition for humans - despite having equally nutritious vegetarian options - is okay? But somehow chasing animals around and inflicting a certain degree of pain on them is not? Despite the fact that the jallikattu animals lead a pampared and royal life all throughout the year?

The difference being that I am saying that about people who abuse animals for fun.

You being the guy who eats butchered animals because you can't overcome your base instinct of taste. The base instinct of taste which according to you is all that's necessary to justify the butchering of animals. But for some reason tend to feel morally superior to people jumping up a bull's hump once a year.

Such logic, much wow

The only form of regulation that will work is a ban on jallikattu, which I fully and wholeheartedly support.

That being the opinion of a guy who has never been to a jallikattu and has very surface knowledge of the practice to have a nuanced view of the sport.
