Popular actor Hamza Ali Abbasi has always been the one to speak up his mind whenever he feels injustice is being committed. In a recent tweet, the
Alif actor brought attention to the inhumane ways animals are being treated in zoos, especially in Pakistan.
Abbasi referenced a recent ruling by the Islamabad High Court that deemed zoos as no less than concentration camps . Islamabad High Court rules that Zoos are concentration camps for non-human living beings. It s true. Caging animals for public entertainment is cruel and evil. Pakistan has a chance to earn respect of the world and make God happy by freeing all the animals in captivity and close all Pakistani zoos. Please! Abbasi wrote in his tweet.
