Sonu Sood, widely celebrated as a real-life hero for his tireless humanitarian work, has once again used his voice to champion a cause rooted in empathy and responsibility but this time, for India’s stray animals.
In a heartfelt message supporting animal welfare organisation Jeev Sabha, Sood spoke about the urgent need for humane and sustainable solutions to address the growing stray dog population and rabies-related concerns.
“Namaskar, me hu Sonu Sood aur jaise me Indian hu, yaha pe paida aur rehne wale har stray dog bhi Indian hai, isliye unhe Indy bulaya jaata hai. Me sabse darkhast karta hu, ki jaise humne Covid jaisi bimari ka saamna kiya, waise hi vaccination aur sterilisation se jo stray dogs hai aur rabies jaisi jo bimari hai, unpe kaabu paaya jaa sakta hai.” he added.
By advocating vaccination and sterilisation as long-term measures, Sonu Sood highlighted the importance of science-backed, humane approaches over reactive responses. His message strongly reinforces the idea that coexistence is possible when guided by awareness, empathy, and collective responsibility.
“Let’s choose kindness, let’s choose solutions. I support Jeev Sabha. God bless you all. Take care,” he concluded, urging citizens to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
Known for stepping up during national crises, from aiding migrant workers during the pandemic to supporting healthcare and education initiatives, Sonu Sood’s support for animal welfare feels like a natural extension of his values.
In recent months, the Supreme Court of India has been hearing matters related to growing stray dog situation across the country. The focus has been on finding a balance between public safety and animal welfare, with the court stressing the need for proper vaccination and sterilisation.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonu Sood was last seen in the action thriller Fateh, that marked his directorial debut. The film starred Sonu in the titular role alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz and Dibyendu Bhattacharya.
