Bollywood actors including Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, John Abraham, Dia Mirza and Disha Patani demanded strict action against animal cruelty after the killing of a pregnant wild elephant in Kerala led to widespread condemnation. The elephant died after a local allegedly fed her a pineapple stuffed with crackers in Palakkad-Malappuram border in Kerala on May 27, 2020. Expressing shock over the tragic incident, the actors took to social media platforms and demanded stricter laws against animal cruelty. Varun Dhawan took to Instagram and wrote a long note alongside a heartfelt image to showcase the relationship between human beings and elephants. "They gave us food baby, to which the baby says, humans are so good," the image featuring an elephant with a baby inside her womb. The artwork was created by 'tedthestoner', which was later reposted by Dhawan, who wrote: "We pray to him and yet do this. 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. This elephant was going to give birth 18-20 months later. Even after the elephant was injured, she did not crush a single home or hurt a single human being. She just stood in a river because of the excruciating pain and passed away without hurting a single soul." Calling the violent act against the elephant "cruel beyond measure", Varun urged the authorities to catch the guilty and asked for their punishment. "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," he said. Anushka Sharma too reposted the artwork and wrote, “This is why we need harsher LAWS against animal cruelty!!” “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,” Shraddha wrote on Twitter. Sharing a petition by PETA India, the actor further said, “We need stricter laws against animal cruelty. It's HIGH time. Please sign this petition.” John Abraham shared a news report on Instagram and captioned it: "Shame on us. Ashamed to be human." Actors like Athiya Shetty, Randeep Hooda, Kriti Kharbanda, Pulkit Samrat and Rajkummar Rao too demanded strict action. Many artists have shared sketches to express their sadness over the unfortunate incident. (All photos: Instagram)
