New Delhi: Wearing next to nothing, hundreds of animal activists with

leopard spots painted on their bodies led a demonstration in London

urging people to take a stand against the alleged bullying of actor

Shilpa Shetty on a British reality TV show.

 

Activists of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) held up

placards reading `Stop Big Brother Circus Cruelty-Vote for Shilpa' at

the Covent Garden.

 

Thirty-one-year-old Shilpa, a staunch supporter of the PETA's campaign

against bullying and cruelty to animals, is allegedly the target of

racist attacks by fellow contestants of reality TV show Celebrity Big

Brother, of which she is a participant.

 

" When Shilpa Shetty joined PETA to speak up against cruelty to animals

in circuses, she had no idea she would eventually be living in the

midst of one, " PETA Europe supporter Lucy Groom told PTI.

 

" We urge viewers to stop the Big Brother circus cruelty by voting for

Shilpa, our friend and a defender of animals, " she said.

 

Shilpa posed for one of PETA's most high-profile ad campaigns in

India, an anti-circus advertisement in which she crouched behind the

bars of a cage, dressed in a form-fitting tiger-striped body suit,

with the tagline `Beaten, Lonely and Abused - Boycott the Circus'.

Hi,

 

 

 

I guess that the British will like this one! Animal activists protesting to

save an Indian superstar. I guess if you cannot save the tiger any more you

might as well try to save a Bollywood legend, although I feel they are not

that endangered!

This sounds a bit weird, since some of the alleged bullying is supposed

to have been about the way she cooked a chicken!

 

Never seen the programme myself - it sounds exceptionally boring and

unpleasant - but despite her attitude to chickens the Bollywood lady

sounds to have been rather more civilised than the rest of the cast.

 

Dunno how the thing managed to hit the headlines at all, but once the

media circus got going all sorts of people were using it to get a bit of

publicity for themselves - so good luck to the animal activists!

 

Talking of chickens, I just got an email saying some friends in the

movement were looking for homes for several thousand hens rescued from

slaughter - quite a task, though less problematic in some ways than the

137 very noisy cockerels abandoned by the roadside earlier this month.

PS Don't believe all you read about the British being a nation of

animal lovers - they slaughter and eat them by the million same as

everyone else!
