Jallikattu: Two gored to death in bull-taming festival
 [Al Jazeera] Two men have been gored to death in a bull-taming festival event in southern India, a day after authorities temporarily lifted a ban on the traditional event.That worked well. Up to 90 people were also injured on Sunday as rampaging bulls sprinted through Rapoosal, a village in the state of Tamil Nadu. Makes football look tame. The sport, known as Jallikattu, was banned by India's top court banned it in 2014 on grounds of animal cruelty. Two dead and ninety injured sounds like participant cruelty. Yet, the government on Saturday passed an executive order to temporarily overturn the ban following week-long protests, and Jallikattu events were subsequently held in towns and villages across Tamil Nadu.
