Anti-national PETA working against Tamil culture, should be banned: Stalin

DMK on Monday dubbed animal rights advocacy group PETA as "anti-national" and said it's working against Tamil culture seeking a ban on the NGO which has been stridently opposing the bull-taming festival Jallikattu.

"Centre should immediately ban the international NGO PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals)- which is against our culture and is anti-national," DMK Working President and Tamil Nadu Opposition Leader MK Stalin said.

He also urged the Centre to 'disband' the incumbent Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) and replace it with a body which has more representation for Tamil Nadu.
