Actor Rahul Khanna has joined the ‘save the elephant’ campaign and stars in the new anti-zoo ad made by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Shot by photographer Colston Julian, the ad is titled "Actor Wants Fans to Know That Elephants Don’t Belong in Zoos and Cities" and Rahul is shown shackled in chains, with bruises painted on his body. "Zoos cannot provide for the complex needs of the animals who they hold captive," said Rahul in a press statement. PETA has pulled up its socks after Mumbai saw the death of an elephant named Laxmi, who was hit by a speeding tanker. In the absence of medical attention, Laxmi suffered a broken leg and spinal injuries before dying a day later. "These majestic animals belong in the wild, but instead they are locked up like criminals," said Rahul who is making a comeback with Raqeeb. — IANS
