Amid Coronavirus crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed
the nation and announced his decision of extending the lockdown till May 3rd.
On this extended lockdown, Sharddha Kapoor has a strong
message for all those who are cribbing about isolation and being home
quarantine. Sharing a collage of animals who are tied up in Zoo's, cages and
other places, Shraddha posted, "So, you’re tired of isolation? As
COVID-19 has forced the world to quarantine, we’ve all felt the effects of
isolation — depression, anxiety, loneliness. Animals experience these same
emotions. As humans, we tend to lack empathy for others until we’ve experienced
their situation ourselves. But now that we’ve felt the suffering of captivity,
let’s extend empathy toward the other living beings that we share this planet
with. Millions of animals have been isolated their entire lives. In isolation,
these animals exhibit concerning behaviors including self-harm. Mental health
is not a uniquely human trait. This is not normal. So, you’re tired of
isolation? These animals have been isolated their entire lives. No living being
should live in captivity. We are guests of this planet, not masters. #Repost
