The law making the body of Karnataka termed Kambala, bull runs and bullock cart races as legal and traditional sports. The same sports will no more be a target of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act as the same has been amended.

The changes in the law state that no harm or hurt should be caused to the animals involved in the mentioned sports. Noted in the books of law, the law said "Notwithstanding anything...conduct of `kambala' or `bulls race or bullock cart race' shall be permit ted, subject to condition that no unnecessary pain is caused by the animals, by the person in charge of that animal used to conduct `kambala' or `bulls race or bullock cart race' as the case may be and subject to such other conditions."

The Congress party supporter Shakuntala Setty said "As far as the cruelty to animals in kambala goes, the bullocks are treated by their owners like their own children.They are fed like kings and barring some 26 days of the race, they are kept very comfortably."

Whereas in opposition, BJP legislator quoted "While there are hundreds of cases of deaths in jallikattu, no death has been recorded in kambala, be it of the racer or animal."
