The VJ cum actor shared heartwarming stories of love and acceptance that she found along the way for animals all around the world while encouraging her followers to also adopt gentler conduct towards these creatures.
“I had rescued my first injured animal at the age of six perhaps. A little kitten from the street across the road from our house. That’s how it all began.” she wrote.
Anoushey Ashraf shared, “Soon after there was an injured baby crow, fallen from a tree. An injured kite. An injured pup. I always wanted to adopt the dog no one wanted from the litter because of it’s limp, or the kitten that couldn’t see. By the time I turned 9, our backyard was a mini zoo. And we were proud of it. A little corner for the blind, injured and hurt. Another for the ones recuperating. The rest were allowed to roam free. They dirtied the place, they made it smell funny but they gave me so so so much joy. And my Mom let me keep each of them. For which I will forever be grateful.”
In the end, the 35 year old VJ wrote, “I urge each of you to be nice to all animals, discourage hunting, encourage humane slaughter ( this one’s debatable), avoid animal circuses, riding elephants for fun, water shows etc and donate as much as you can to the @acfanimalrescueofficial foundation for them to continue the amazing work they do! Thank you, Ma, for leading by example.”
