NEWEST PETA AD HAS HOCKEY INDIA LEAGUE'S DABANG MUMBAI HC PROMOTE ADOPTION OF HOMELESS DOGS
Members of the Dabang Mumbai Hockey Club recently took
time out of their busy schedules to speak up for animals. The team posed with
canine pals Tommy and Marshall – who are available for adoption through The Welfare
of Stray Dogs – for a print campaign for People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals (PETA) India with the tagline "Be a Champion for Dogs. Adopt –
Never Shop". The ad was shot by Gaurav Sawn, make-up was initiated
by Ayesha Wadiwala and hair by Pawan O Duggal using Biotop
Professional products.
"Always adopt, don't buy. And remember: there are
countless cats and dogs at animal shelters waiting for loving homes", says
Florian Fuchs. "As a human being, we should care for them. Just like
we humans live our life, they also have one,” Harmanpreet Singh adds.
Across India, homeless dogs and cats go hungry, are killed
by vehicles, sustain broken bones, suffer from infected wounds, and are
abused by cruel people. Countless more wait in animal shelters because there
aren't enough good homes for them. PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that
"animals are not ours to abuse in any way" – encourages families to
adopt dogs and cats and never buy them from breeders or pet stores, which
exacerbate the homeless-animal overpopulation crisis.
PETA also advocates for the sterilization of companion
animals – a routine, affordable surgery that can prevent thousands of animals
from being born only to suffer and struggle to survive on the streets. Just one
unaltered female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in six
years. In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce
370,000 kittens.
Anyone interested in adopting Tommy or Marshall should
