Some performers may not have the same effect as others and may have both admirers and haters. However, some exceptional performers make a lasting impression on us through their films and social initiatives. That is why they have no haters.
One of them is John Abraham!
On TV, he may appear to be a massive superhero, but John Abraham is a kind soul who cares deeply about animals and their well being. The celebrity has always been a passionate supporter of animal rights, whether it was speaking out against animal cruelty on national television or just working to push for social and political reform so that all animals are treated humanely.

2. When he worked on the Be Nice campaign with Mercy For Animals India
This is just one of the numerous ways he is taking action and utilising his social media accounts to promote animal welfare.
3. When he raised money for Animal Rahat NGO by auctioning his North East United FC jersey.
4. When the actor requested the central government to prohibit the use of animals in circuses
He said,
“Unlike human performers, animals are forced to entertain through the use of fear, pain or hunger. Whips, clubs, hooks and other weapons are often used to inflict pain on elephants and other animals in order to force them to perform confusing tricks. I hope you will look into your heart and make the compassionate choice by issuing an immediate ban on the use of all animals in circuses.”
5. When he urged Quikr to stop advertising animals on their website
He said,
“By allowing dogs, cats and other animals to be traded via your platform, Quikr runs the risk of animals being cruelly housed and transported, as well as being obtained by abusive people or impulse sellers who are simply not willing to provide them for life.”
For everyone’s information, certain websites were advertising animals for adoption when, in reality, a possible illegal animal trade was going place.
6. When the celebrity has used his clout to prevent illicit pig slaughter in Goa
Abraham submitted a letter to Pratapsingh Rane, Goa’s previous chief minister, pleading with him to stop the illegal conduct.
7. When he adopted Bailey, a community dog
Apart from these activities, the celebrity has continued to collaborate with PETA and other animal welfare groups on a variety of projects. He’s educating everyone on how to utilise their presence and lives to fight for the rights of others.
