NEW Investigation Shows Shocking Kambala Cruelty, Take Action to Help Buffaloes Now

New video and photographic evidence captured by PETA India at Kambala (buffalo racing) events held in Karnataka between 6 December 2025 and 31 January 2026 reveal, yet again, that cruelty towards buffalo bulls is inherent in these races.  
The latest investigation shows buffaloes were beaten with sticks, controlled with painful nose ropes, and were forced to continue even as they fell to the ground.

 

 

PETA India has written to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, urging him to end the violent spectacles in the state. Meanwhile, PETA India’s review petition filed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court in 2023 seeking reinstatement of a complete prohibition on Kambala and similar events remains pending.

Buffalo bulls used in Kambala events endure unfathomable physical and psychological punishment. Please help them by sending a message to the Chief Minister of Karnataka in favour of a ban using the form below.

Sri
Siddaramaiah
