After breeding with love and compassion through the year, no way the breeders could hurt it or leave it get hurted. The bulls have the stamina to withstand the sport. Withdrawal of Jallikattu will lead to extinction of these native bulls. Hence we are at Sankara Institute stand together to register our over-whelming support for conduct of Jallikattu'.
