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.”

“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.
