MUMBAI: After learning from her friends at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India that the upcoming motion picture ‘Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara’ is set to include a scene showing the running of the bulls, a much-criticised Spanish ritual, Spanish-American singer and actor Charo fired off a letter to the film’s director Zoya Akhtar.
The letter urges Akhtar to open her heart and cut out any scenes glorifying the running of the bulls.
PETA India’s chief functionary Poorva Joshipura said, “The film world is considered glamorous but there’s nothing glamorous about terrifying animals into a frenzy so that they stampede to their deaths in the bullring as part of a blood sport that is fast dying out in Spain.”
