A horrible incident has recently come to light whereby some people in Kerala killed a pregnant elephant by feeding her pineapple filled with firecrackers. There are many people who are angry with this incident including actor Shraddha Kapoor.
She is known for being vocal about supporting animals and various organizations which work towards the well-being of animals. The issue was addressed by Kapoor on her social media account and captioned, “How?????? How can something like this happen??? Do people not have hearts??? My heart has shattered and broken…The perpetrators need to be punished in the STRICTEST way. @PetaIndia @CMOKerala (sic)”.
She had also shared details about a petition which ensures to impose stricter laws against animal cruelty in the country. The actress had shared the link on her Twitter handle and wrote, “We need stricter laws against animal cruelty. It’s HIGH time. Please sign this petition (sic)”.
The actress has recently joined an international animal rights organization which brings to light harsh treatment of animals in the zoos. She spoke about the incident in detail on her Instagram handle, “A pregnant elephant was fed cracker stuffed pineapple by unidentified people in Kerala which exploded in her mouth and damaged her jaw. She walked around the village and finally passed away standing in a river. We keep searching for monsters hoping they would be having the devil’s horns on their heads. But look around you, the monsters walk beside you. From anybody who throws stones at a stray dog to anybody hurting a living soul, choose one face. A lot of these animals trust human beings because they have been helped by them in the past. This is cruel beyond measure. When you lack empathy and kindness, you do not deserve to be called a human being. To hurt someone is not human. Just stricter laws won’t help. We need a decent execution of the law too. Until the guilty are punished in the worst possible way, these wicked monsters will never fear the law. Though it’s a difficult task, I hope they are able to find out the one who committed this crime and punish them accordingly (sic)”.
