Lauren Gottlieb has a message for India: “Unchain the Elephants: Ban Animal Circuses”.
The American contemporary dancer, who shot to fame in India with the film and dance reality show, shot an ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) anti-circus campaign.
In the photos, Lauren is seen dressed in grey shorts and a top, standing in front of a chained inflatable life-size elephant replica with her hands shackled, carrying a placard with the message.
Peta has been urging the Indian government to ban the use of animals in circuses for a long time. It is now appealing to the Ministry of Environment and Forests, the Central Zoo Authority and the Animal Welfare Board of India to implement the ban immediately.
