I understand your aggressive stance.

You really should have watermarked it. Merely linking to your image on a widely read broadcasters website offends your copyright so much. This strategy is adopted by most professional media (AP,Indian movie sites, etc). The text below the image does not show up in image searches and I may not have linked to your image if it had. There are plenty of other Jallikattu pictures I could have used - considering the small size and low resolution quality of the image.

I am completely aware of copyright law and respect it. Which is why I took out the link as soon as you pointed it out. I would have removed it if anyone had pointed it out, not necessarily you - the owner. This is the most I can do.

Not respecting someone else’s property is not quite polite .

Thanks for taking out the image as there was not even a link: the way you projected the image from another site in your blog doesn’t put you above the law.

Pity you are obviously not aware about copyrights cause some of your issues are quite true and you will find them as well on my site.

There are no policies preventing blogs from linking to BBC content (content hosted on BBCs servers). Linking to BBC does not mean stealing from BBC. The internet is nothing without links.

I do agree that the copyright notice does not appear when linking. The right way to handle that is to place your copyright within the image itself. This is just a friendly suggestion (even though your tone is not very polite)

Anyway, as per your request I took out the image and link.

Let me inform you that the photo here is being used without any authorisation coming from my website:
http://www.pbase.com/oochappan/jallikattu
without even mentioning a reference or copyright name.
This is copyright-violation or theft,
it should be removed or compensated to avoid legal prosecutions,
even the BBC had the decency to do so and most probably you stole it from there, pity.
You can contact me privatly on my site.

>> life will go on without humans much more normally and naturally. >>

Let us say all humans suddenly give in and decide to move to Mars. We will leave the earth to animals for a few decades. How will we find earth after we return after , say a 100 years ?

The domesticated creatures will be completely wiped out after a brief period of tremendous growth. They are completely vulnerable to predators. We did this to them. We cannot just throw up our hands and leave. We need to prepare them and give them their aggression back. Our street corner Zebu cattle must attack predators like the wildebeest.

So maybe we should train them to be more aggressive before we move to mars. A “pre-mars bovine-aggression” camp will look exactly like the Jallikattu, dont you agree ?

Gaurav / Barb,

Apologies for prolonging the agony !

Future of humanity does not depend on your genes. What was the last time you took a look at the human population, big number consider the contributions of India to it.
“The great humans on the earth”, life will go on without humans much more normally and naturally. We all have done enough harm to our surroundings and ourselves. Karma.
Humans do many things that are considered normal by “most” normal humans of their normal kind. What is normal for you? The choice of having pepper in eyes or balls being cut, ofcourse these two choices sound very normal. Since these are only two choices proposed, by who…?

Choose for yourself(if you like) not the bull.

Manya,

Neutering is a normal practice, whether cruel or not, I don’t know.
There is a difference between bull and ox, it is the balls. And sure I would prefer chili in my eyes compared to getting neutered, as future of humanity depends on propagation of my genes.
