这场比赛是一个传统的事件，通常是在季风之后，但在种植牛需要之前举行的公牛。 2011年，中央政府禁止展览和训练公牛以及其他五种动物，如1960年的“防止虐待动物法案”。2014年，法院裁决认定，这项禁令适用于喀拉拉邦牛种族。 在2015年，印度牛种俱乐部呼吁喀拉拉邦高等法院裁决得到维持。

The race is a traditional event, usually with bullocks, held after the monsoon but before the cattle are needed for planting. In 2011 the Central Government banned the exhibition and training of bulls, and five other animals, as performing animals under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. In 2014 a court ruling held that this ban applied to the Kerala cattle race. In 2015 the ruling was upheld on appeal to the Kerala High Court by the Cattle Race Club of India.
