Ram Gopal Varma SUPPORTS ban on Jallikattu against the South celebs

While many stars from the south including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Dhanush and Shruti Haasan are against the ban on Jallikattu, a traditional sport in Tamil Nadu, where a bull is released into a crowd of human beings who try to grab the large hump of the bull with both arms and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who is from the south himself, has tweeted in support of the ban.

In a series of tweets Ramu wrote about why the sport is not just barbaric but should be banned.

Govt restricts filmmakers to show even crow or dog but allows bulls to be brutally harassed for cultural entertainment #jaijallikattu

Ears ,horns cut,mutilated,tail bones dislocated,poked with knives tortured with nose ropes causing death .#jaijallikattu is Barbarism

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Protesting against barbarism of #jaijallikattu is very much in tune with worshipping tribalish/feudal culture of Jayalalitha and Sasikala

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Just by giving it name of culture #jaijallikattu cannot escape from it's true tradition of torturing innocent animals for people's pleasure

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Each of the #jaijallikattu supporters should be made to run with 100's of Bulls chasing and then I want to hear him talk about his feelings

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

#jaijallikattu is enjoying a barbarism of making an innocent animal suffer for social entertainment by cowardly hiding behind culture

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Celebrities in TN protesting against #jaijallikattu should have their ears pulled n backs hugged by 100s to know the poor animals feelings

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Only Because #jaijallikattu supporters are barbarians they want to fight for their right to torture poor innocent defence less animals

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

If Tamil #jaijallikattu culture is about brutalising poor animals then Al Qaeda's culture of beheading innocent people also is right

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Atleast 10 animals should be set after each #jaijallikattu human protestor for him to know what poor bull feels when 1000's are chasing

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Torturing defenseless living beings for personal entertainment in the name of culture and tradition is worse than terrorism #jaijallikattu

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Instead of chasing a defenseless animal for pleasure why don't #jaijallikattu guys chase a human being..They won't cos they know it pains

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

None of the #jaijallikattu protestors know neither the meaning nor spelling of culture ..They are just human shaped vultures wanting blood

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

#jaijallikattu is a true throwback to the tremendously ugly diasporic thinkinginglynonthinking of Tamilian culturastic non culture

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Fighting for #jaijallikattu more than who should lead them shows real culture of Tamilians ..I don't want to wish any of them all the best

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

The choice of their leaders itself tells about the really true culture of #jaijallikattu people more than the poor tortured innocent bulls

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Celebrities are supporting #jaijallikattu for votes and tickets ..But who can support poor innocent voiceless animals from barbaric torture?

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

If poor innocent animals also had voting power and could buy tickets no celebrity would have dared to support #jaijallikattu

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Telugu star Pawan Kalyan had tweeted:

To which RGV replied:

@PawanKalyan Sir difference in torturing fr entertaining purpose nd killing fr food is difference between terrorism nd war.#jaijallikattu

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

@PawanKalyan Sir if killing animals for food is analogically right then robbing rich becos vthey have money is also epistemologically right

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

@PawanKalyan Sir some African tribes have cannibalism as culture and that doesn't elevate the definition of Culture

— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) January 20, 2017

Bottom line of #jaijallikattu is each supporter should be made to be chased by a 1000 Bulls and then let's see how much they will protest?
