Jallikattu campaign at Marina Beach marred by violence today
For a week, it was utterly peaceful, led by students
Jallikattu ban has ended, so we're ending protests, say students
One of the main spokespersons of the movement, Raghava Lawrence, a famous movie producer and choreographer, told NDTV that "Whoever is still sitting there is not a part of our movement." He said "It's time for us to celebrate our success."

Many A-listers today appealed to protesters on social media to go home and end the protests peacefully.
Activated by the large demonstration -15,000 on some days at Marina Beach with satellite protests in other cities- the Tamil Nadu government has introduced an executive order permitting Jallikattu, which was banned in 2014 by the Supreme Court. This evening, law-makers will examine how to ensure that bulls and the harvest-festival sport are exempted from rules that forbid Jallikattu as part of the law that protects animals from cruelty.

Minute details of the protests, which began with a small group and swelled into a mass movement of up to 15,000 people, were shared on social media to garner more support. (file)

While many agreed to leave after police notified the protesters of the eviction order, some resisted leading to lathi-charge and tear gas shelling from police.
Animal rights groups like PETA say bulls are tortured, their tails often broken, as young men try to mount them in an open field to see who can hold onto the hump for longer than three jumps or buckings by the animal. The A-listers who have come out in support of Jallikattu say any incidents of cruelty are deviations and not the norm.
