From Jacqueline Fernandez to Salman Khan, several Bollywood celebrities own a pet. Amongst all these actors, Sidharth Malhotra’s love for his pet dog Oscar is widely popular.

PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is an American animal rights organisation based in Norfolk, Virginia. The association was founded in March 1980 by Ingrid Newkirk and first caught the public’s attention in the summer of 1981. Today, PETA focuses on four core issues—opposition to factory farming, fur farming, animal testing, and the use of animals in entertainment.
