Police arrest animal rights activists at Indian bullfight
0 Comments | AFP, January, 2008
NEW DELHI (AFP) — Police arrested three animal rights campaigners for protesting bullfighting in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the Press Trust of India reported Friday.
Ingrid Newkirk, president of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an international animal welfare group, was taken into custody Thursday after she blindfolded a statue of Indian freedom champion Mahatma Gandhi.
Two other PETA activists were also arrested in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore district on charges of "hurting the religious sentiments" and unruly behaviour, police said.
The activists said they blind-folded Ghandi's statue to express their resentment against the centuries-old sport, staged every year on January 16.
The three were released on bail later...
