Actor Sonu Sood, widely recognized for his philanthropic and humanitarian work, has now come forward to champion the rights of stray dogs in India.
In a heartfelt message supporting the animal welfare organisation Jeev Sabha, Sonu Sood spoke about the urgent need for humane and sustainable solutions to tackle the growing stray dog population and concerns related to rabies.
Sonu Sood emphasized the importance of science-backed, humane approaches rather than reactive measures, advocating vaccination and sterilisation as long-term solutions.
In a video shared by the organization on Instagram, Sonu Sood said, "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, “Let’s choose kindness, let’s choose solutions. I support Jeev Sabha. God bless you all. Take care (Hello, I am Sonu Sood, and just as I am Indian, every stray dog born and living here is also Indian, which is why they are called Indy. I request everyone that just as we faced diseases like COVID, similarly, through vaccination and sterilisation, we can control stray dogs and diseases like rabies.)"
Through the video, he encouraged citizens to focus on working towards solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
In recent months, the Supreme Court of India has been addressing issues concerning the growing stray dog population across the country. The discussions have centered on striking a balance between public safety and animal welfare, with the court highlighting the importance of proper vaccination and sterilisation.

On the professional front, Sonu Sood was last seen in his directorial debut, Fateh, which features Jacqueline Fernandez, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vijay Raaz in key roles.
