When
John
Abraham
talks,
the
world
listens,
and
for
using
his
voice
to
advocate
for
animals,
People
for
the
Ethical
Treatment
of
Animals
(PETA)
India
has
named
him
its
Person
of
the
Year
for
2020.
He'll
star
in
the
upcoming
film
Satyameva
Jayate
2,
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
2018
movie.
This
year,
Abraham
sent
a
letter
urging
e-retailer
Quikr
to
stop
trading
in
live
animals-
and
that's
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
Over
the
years,
he's
teamed
up
with
PETA
India
to
push
for
a
ban
on
animal
circuses,
speak
up
for
Mumbai's
dancing
monkeys,
and
star
in
an
ad
urging
everyone
not
to
keep
birds
in
cages.
He
also
adopted
a
community
dog,
his
beloved
Bailey;
urged
authorities
to
stop
illegal
pig
slaughter
in
Goa,
and
put
a
football
jersey
on
the
auction
block
to
benefit
PETA
India's
work
to
help
animals.
"John
Abraham
has
been
helping
PETA
India
advocate
for
animals
since
our
inception,
and
he
shows
no
signs
of
slowing
down.
If
birds
are
suffering
in
cages,
puppies
are
being
cruelly
sold,
or
animals
are
in
danger
anywhere
in
the
world,
we
can
count
on
him
to
come
to
the
rescue," says
PETA
India

Public
Relations
Sachin
Bangera.
