Sonakshi Sinha Stands Against A Cruel Ritual In Tamil Nadu

Sonakshi Sinha has always been vocal about social issues and now the actress has stood for animals who become victims of a cruel practice.

Tamil Nadu is infamous for a ritual called Jallikattu, during which several bulls are subjected to extreme torture and cruelty.

Although, the Supreme Court imposed a ban on the practice, it's still alive in certain parts of the state and thus, Sonakshi Sinha has made an attempt to bring the issue to notice of the administration.

The actress took to Twitter and posted a tweet to MOS for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, GOI, Prakash Javadekar which reads, "Dear Minister @PrakashJavdekar, please keep bulls and people protected. Keep Jallikattu banned. (sic)". Sonakshi also added a video in the tweet which showed the amount of torture meted on the animals during the ritual.

Dear Minister @PrakashJavdekar, please keep bulls and people protected. Keep Jallikattu banned. Watch: http://t.co/rvRlmsfZZk.

Sonakshi posted another tweet in which she appeals all her fans to support the ban on Jallikattu and ensure its eradication. "I request any1 who loves animals to twt @prakashjavdekar to STOP this disgusting practice. #BanJallikattu http://www.petaindia.com/blog/new-investigation-exposes-jallikattu-cruelty/ ... @PetaIndia (sic)"

Lastly, the Dabangg actress expressed a worthy thought with the tweet saying, "Animals are never cruel to animals. Animals don't judge each other. These are all "human" traits. And we think we r superior. #BanJallikattu (sic)"

It's good to see celebrities standing up for a noble cause helping the safety of animals.
