Stalin had yesterday welcomed Chief Minister O Panneerselvam’s announcement that the state government would issue an ordinance to amend the Prevention of Cruelty Act to allow jallikattu but insisted that bulls should be permanently removed from ‘performing animals’ category by the Centre so that the sport is held in the state annually.
