Bull fight: Govt DGP served legal notice BY HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, FEB 1 – The President for People of Animal, Adv Norma Alvares has issued legal notice to the State Government and the Director General of Police on the bull fight issue. In its December 20, 1996 order High Court had ordered that the bull fights 'dhirios' are in contravention of the Provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1968 and directed the state government to take immediate steps to ban all types of animal fights. The notice states that while bull fights were stopped for some years following the court order in the recent years, once again, "barbaric trend" of organizing bull fights, usually at the end of the harvest season has re-emerged with "full fervour". The notice called for immediate action be taken to stop the illegal organization of bull fights in the state lest it will invite contempt of court. -- Salaam ali kum. Gabe Menezes. London, England
