I am pretty sure that no one heard about this "Jallikattu"
Taken from Wikipedia and edited for easy understanding:
Jallikattu (English: BullEmbracing), is a traditional event hugging or embracing the bull held in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Maatu Pongal day; the second day of the Tamil month Thai (mid January). Bulls are bred specifically by people of the village for the event and attended mainly by many villages' temple bulls. A temple bull is like the head of all cattle in a village; special rituals will be performed for this temple bull during important days. During the event, prizes are announced to encourage the youth to participate. After the event, tamed weak bulls are used for domestic activities and agriculture, meanwhile the untamable strong bulls are used for breeding the cows. Thus wild nature of the bulls are inherited to its next generation, even though these country bulls are domesticated a very long time ago.
Recently the supreme court of India ruled out a verdict to ban this Jallikattu in India.

Well, seal clubbing isn't very popular but it's not been banned yet.

In the US, they mostly just get in the way of reasonable and informed discussions. PETA is ridiculous.

I'm not aware of anything having been banned here. Might have been, but I've not noticed it.

Here's an example of PETA's efforts in the US.

That's just an excuse. Had the circus not sucked it wouldn't have mattered. PETA didn't do anything but let the circus whine and complain.
