Mumbai: The new People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India ad for International Animal Rights Day features Odisha-born sprinter Dutee Chand.
“Animals on the streets have tough lives, so it”s up to all of us to speak out if we ever witness them being abused,” the IANS quoted her as saying.
“My friends at PETA India and I encourage everyone to treat animals with kindness and respect, just as we all want to be treated every day,” added the first professional athlete from India to come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
Besides Dutee, Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Shikhar Dhawan, John Abraham, Sidharth Malhotra, Sonam Kapoor, and Sania Mirza have also teamed up with PETA India to promote kindness to animals.
