Animal Welfare Board lodges 21 complaints against Kambala organisers


Udupi, Dec 22 (DHNS) : The Animal Welfare Board of India has lodged as many as 21 non-cognisable complaints and an FIR at Karkala Rural police station in connection with the Kambala held at Baradi. A total of 130 pairs of buffaloes took part in the traditional sport held on Saturday.

Additional Superintendent of Police Annamalai told Deccan Herald that the FIR had been lodged against Kambala organisers under IPC Section 289 (negligent conduct with respect to animal) and Section 429 (mischief by killing or maiming cattle etc). He said that the complaints pertain to treatment of the animals which took part in the event.

The Kambala was held in the presence of Tahsildar Raghavendra, ten revenue officials and police personnel. The representatives from Animal Welfare Board of India were also present to keep an eye against any violations of the High Court ruling on Kambala. The traditional sticks to whip the buffaloes were not used at the race.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) director - veterinary affairs, Manilal Valliyate said the most common forms of cruelty were pulling the buffaloes' nose rope, beating them and shouting.

Valliyate said the animals were threatened with sticks and colour cloths and by shouting commands to induce fear in them so as to make them run faster. "Kambala races which force buffaloes to run out of fear and threat have no place in a civilised society and Supreme Court has confirmed that," he said.

Meanwhile, Devara Shesha-Naga Kambala was held on Sunday on the premises of Anantheshwara temple premises at Ballamanja in Belthangady taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

    I am really finding difficult to understand the mind set of this bunch of jokers.

    1st they complained stating that whipping is a cruelty. now they cry holding tail is cruelty and scolding also a kind of cruelty.

    A question to this bunch of jokers, how many people are required chicken/beef/pork fry or chilly while they have a peg?

    if they dont eat all this sukka, they look for veg salad?
    don't you think choping cucumber or carrot is a cruelty towards vegetable?

    I remember a saying by one of the manager that if your boss wants to screw you, no matter how good you do, he or she will try to find a fault.

    This a sincerer suggestion to all this Joker.. "forget about kambala, there are many other imp matter's/ burning issues where they have to look into and in this case they will have the support from general public.

    I agree even dogs are treated badly make sure all the animals stray are sent to these animal welfare houses.. Also make sure you tie these people to the ploughs tongs and bullock carts and make them pull them.. bl##dy useless people.. they were no where till now!!!
    If they have the guts let them stop the all the racecourse events all over the country. Even men riding horses are wrong.

    It is stupid to comment over here against the 21 non-cognisable complaints lodged by the Animal Welfare Board of India,who do not have little bit of knowledge about the Tulunadu traditional Kambala.This is the deliberate attempt by some groups to assasinate the true culture of Tulunadu.Shame on you guys.Had you had any sense,what is culture,how it should be followed,you would not have complained about the Kambala without analyzing properly.If you think that you love animals so much and violence is involved in Kambala,which is being organized in such a meticulous,traditional way,what about cow/buffalo slaughtering?Is it not violence according to your theory?Are you blind and closing your eyes.What about child rape,sexual abuses,assault on women,gang rapes?Where is your theory/logic go?What is in your mind,you want to prove that you are smart and know everything and what you are going to prove?Jobless bunch of jokers.The traditionally loved Kambala cannot be taken away from the hands of Tulunadu people at any cost,whatever and how many complaint you lodge.This is our right to hold our traditional annual fete of Kambala.It is like idle man's brain is workshop for devils.You don't have any other works and show to the people that you are doing something good but it is not good but bad.

    Now a days lot of people/ organizations are talking about animal rights than of human beings.Where is the cruelty to animals in Kambala?. In that way even the dogs at home are chained and chaining them also is cruelty.

    ಕಂಬಳದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ದೂರು ನೀಡುವವರು, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಣ್ಣೆದುರು ನಡೆಯುವ ಗೋವುಗಳ ಕಳ್ಳಸಾಗಣೆ, ಹತ್ಯೆಯಂತಹ ವಿಕ್ರುತ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಯಾಕೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಸುಮ್ಮನಿದ್ದಿರಾ? ಮೊದಲು ಗೋವುಗಳ ಕ್ಶುಲ್ಲಕ ಹತ್ಯೆಮಾಡುವುದನ್ನು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಿ, ಮತ್ತೆ ಕಂಬಳದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಏನು ಅಂತ ತಿಳಿಯಿರಿ...

    @ langoolacharya , Animal court is a good idea. It can be ' chicken ' justice or ' goat' justice ! , i hope most of peaple will be uted for massacre by their court. They don't have IQ , so we undervalue them , our rights to kill them is taken for granted. Human stupidity is infinite. KAMBALA is different and should be allowed to practice with amendments.

    These buffaloes wandering in the name of 'The Animal Welfare Board of India' should be fed with some Chyavanprash to sharpen their logical thinking and reasoning powers. Dont they wear leather belts? Dont they drink milk? dont they eat non vegetarian food? Dont all these hurt animals?

    Where is India heading?
    Terrorists massacre civilians and when they are about to be hanged, human rights group will come protesting. Stray dogs rip apart children, and these animal rights people cry foul when street dogs are killed.

    This is a deliberate attempt by people of neighboring states to finish off the culture and traditions of Dakshina Kannada. We all must rise against this.. How many slaughter houses in Dakshina Kannada have the chairman and board of directors of animal welfare board headquartered in chennai visited and monitored the slaughtering of buffaloes..How many fields have they visited in Tamil Nadu itself and monitored whether ploughing the fields is done without beating the cows or buffaloes..We need to come on to the streets and protest...

    People,

    Better to establish a special court for Buffaloes...with a Buffalo presiding over...both prosecutor as well as defense counsel should be a he or she buffalo...

    Its decision is final...if at all an appeal is allowed it could be heard in Leopards appellate court...

    Common guys those who disagree with this...hit your....you know what???
