Anushka Sharma Campaigns For Stricter Laws Against Animal Cruelty
Anushka Sharma has decided to take concrete steps to address the issue. The actress is campaigning for an amendment to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, highlighting the need for stricter laws
A
few
days
back,
Sonam
Kapoor
took
to
her
social
media
to
call
out
for
people's
attention
to
an
incident
of
animal
abuse.
She
posted
that
she
had
reported
the
abuse
of
a
dog
in
Worli,
Mumbai,
which
was
beaten
up
very
badly
and
was
in
a
critical
condition.
The
post
evoked
reactions
from
celebs
such
as
Malaika
Arora,
John
Abraham
and
Anushka
Sharma,
who
all
were
very
disturbed
by
the
happening.
The
dog,
named
Lucky,
succumbed
to
paralysis
and
internal
injuries,
and
passed
away.
Anushka
Sharma
has
now
decided
to
take
concrete
steps
to
address
issues
of
animal
abuse.
The
actress
is
campaigning
for
an
amendment
to
the
Prevention
of
Cruelty
to
Animals
Act,
highlighting
the
need
for
stricter
laws
to
prevent
animal
cruelty.
The
actress
posted
on
her
Instagram,
"Lucky
was
not
the
only
one
who
faced
inhuman
cruelty.
There
are
several
more
cases
of
dogs
being
mercilessly
attacked
and
killed
across
our
country.
The
Prevention
of
Cruelty
to
Animals
Act,
1960
needs
to
be
amended
to
provide
#JusticeForAnimals
-
we
need
immediate
attention
and
action
on
this.
There's
a
need
for
#StricterLawsAgainstAnimalCruelty."
(sic)
When
Sonam
had
posted
videos
and
photos
of
Lucky's
condition,
Anushka
had
written
on
her
social
media,
"The
inhumanity
of
this
act
is
just
unbelievable.
This
is
the
time
for
our
community
to
step
up
and
find
a
way
to
help
get
justice
to
a
soul
that
can't
stand
up
for
himself.
If
there
is
any
way
one
can
reach
out
to
help,
this
is
the
time,"
(sic).
On
the
work
front,
Anushka
was
last
seen
in
Anand
L.
Rai's
Zero,
starring
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif.
The
movie
failed
to
impress
critics
and
audiences,
and
ended
up
doing
poorly
at
the
box
office.
