Mashal Khan, popular for her roles in Suno Chanda and Thora Sa Haq, lashed out on a couple on social media for using a lion cub as a prop.

In a social media post, the actor remarked that she was disgusted by the actions of the couple.

“They do not exist to provide entertainment for sick, mentally inferior people like those in this picture,” Mashal commented.

In the next post, she highlighted how the lion cub looks agitated and slammed the groom for smiling despite the fact that the lion cub is feeling irritated.

The actor then appealed to her followers not to keep lions as pets. She explained how keeping them in captivity causes the animals great stress and affects their mental health which can also be dangerous for their owners.

Mashal is a vocal advocate of animal rights and has often voiced her concerns on social media. She even did a campaign with RPK Critter Care and Animal Hospital which is Karachi’s first ever fully equipped 24/7 animal hospital.

Today, my heart broke. I was on my way to get a new litter box for my cats when my driver abruptly stopped the car and picked up this angel who was bleeding out in the middle of the road. Some godless man ran her over and left her there to die. I am so angry. I am so so angry. She was two months young. Two months, a child, and she saw such a violent end. We rushed her to RPK animal hospital where the doctor said she had multiple fractures, broken bones, and internal bleeding. She was choking on her blood. They had to euthanise her. It was the only way. I held her as the life left her body, I just didn’t want her to be alone in her last moments. But I am so angry. I am so angry and my heart is hurting and I hate this so much. I hate that people do this. I hate that people don’t stop to help. I hate that animals have to suffer. I hate that humans have no humanity left. She was a CHILD. She died in my arms. She didn’t deserve this. Have some humanity and look where you’re driving. She deserved better than this

I have always felt a great responsibility toward all the inhabitants of the earth. As the most intelligent sentient beings, we have a duty to care for and to protect those who cannot do so for themselves. This Earth is home to all of us. All of us come together to create the balance that has been maintained since the creation of the universe. Everything that is happening around the globe is happening because we have lost touch with our true selves. Extending kindness toward animals takes nothing from us, and means everything to them. Let’s be the best that we can be. Let’s spread kindness. Let’s spread love A special thanks to @rpkcrittercareservices and their googoo animals #AllLivesMatter #MashalCares

Although our pets cannot speak to us with words, they communicate with us in so many different ways! They may begin to reject food, their hair may shed, their tails may be down, they may become distant. Please listen to your pets. Hear what they need. Take them to the vet regularly, get them the medical attention they deserve. Sadly, a lot of people wait till it’s too late for the animals to take them to the vet. According to @rpkcrittercareservices, 80% of the pedigree pets that come in don’t make it because they are neglect cases and the pet parents bring them in when it’s too late. Losing a pet is devastating. Let’s take steps to avoid these situations. Let’s be responsible. Let’s be the best we can be. Let’s spread kindness.
