Pakistani actress Ashna Shah has written a letter to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, urging her to take action to prevent animal cruelty in the province. The letter, shared on Shah’s Instagram account, begins by praising the Chief Minister’s efforts in maintaining cleanliness, public safety, and women’s protection, but also highlights a pressing issue that has not received the attention it deserves: animal abuse.
The actress shared a personal anecdote, stating that she recently watched a video in which a dog was being dragged behind a car on Punjab’s main highway, with commenters accusing Chief Minister Nawaz of killing animals. While the accuracy of these claims is unclear, the incident has sparked concerns about the prevalence of animal cruelty and the lack of effective measures to prevent it.
Pakistani actress Ashna Shah, currently residing in Vienna, Austria, with her husband and gaffer Hamza Amin, has been raising awareness about the mistreatment of animals in the country, including organized dog fights, elephant cruelty, and animal abuse in markets. In her letter, she proposed several key measures to address this issue, including the implementation of laws against animal cruelty, a ban on turning wild animals into pets, and launching programs across the province.
At the end of the letter, Shah expressed her hope that if people show compassion towards animals, following the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), they can set an example not just for Punjab but for the entire country, and possibly inspire other provincial leaders to follow suit. This can also win the hearts of people, she added.
