During the Screening of “Ohh My Dog”, Raveena Tandon Urges Compassion for Animals

Guwahati : Actor and animal rights advocate Raveena Tandon has called for greater compassion towards animals, expressing concern over what she described as the increasing incidents of cruelty against stray animals across the country.

Speaking at the special screening of “Ohh My Dog” in Mumbai, Tandon urged the judiciary and the public to recognise the importance of protecting animals. She said the true greatness of a nation is reflected in the way it treats and shows compassion towards its animals.

Highlighting recent incidents of abuse, including animals allegedly being thrown from buildings and set on fire, the actor described the situation as "horrific". She stressed that the solution lies in the proper implementation of the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Programme, which focuses on the sterilisation and vaccination of stray dogs as a humane method of population management.

Tandon maintained that stray animals should not be blamed for the current situation, adding that inadequate implementation of existing laws had contributed to the problem.

Director Amit Rai praised Tandon for supporting the film without hesitation, saying she readily agreed to attend the screening despite a busy shooting schedule.

The film also stars Maahi Rai, Rajesh Kumar, Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Vijay Mishra, and Sulakhyana Baruah.

Written and directed by Amit Rai, Ohh My Dog stars Pankaj Tripathi and Pawan Malhotra in lead roles. The special screening was attended by producers Ramesh Taurani and Bhushan Kumar, along with actors Rajesh Kumar, Rupali Ganguly and several other members of the film industry.
