Bollywood for PETA

Two Bollywood stars have joined forces with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to bring light to animal cruelty in India, as a part of PETA’s international campaign. The Indian stars Nagise Bagheri and Malaika Arora Khan pose for PETA ads that are spreading awareness about the plight of both caged birds and working horses. In one poster, Bagheri sits atop a horse statue, advocating for the ban of horse-drawn tongas in Indian cities. The other poster features Khan dressed as a bird, meaning to draw attention to the cruel life caged birds face, often in spaces so small, they cannot fully stretch their wings.
