Activists and supporters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, in collaboration with Aashray Foundation and JD Institute of Fashion Technology, staged a protest at Jantar Mantar on Friday, calling for an end to the use of bulls in spectacles such as races, fights and jallikattu. The demonstrators, donning horns and blood-red veils, symbolised the pain and cruelty inflicted on bulls and other animals in such events.

The protest was led by a striking visual — a demonstrator wearing a white, skeletal bull mask — and participants held signs reading ‘Stop bull bloodshed: End races and jallikattu’ to bring attention to the suffering of animals in such events.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
