Actor Nadia Afgan took to Instagram to criticize the Punjab government for failing to enforce its own laws and court bans on killing stray dogs and cutting down trees. Despite clear orders from the Lahore High Court, both practices continue, especially during smog season.
Afgan, a vocal animal rights advocate, condemned the widespread cultural mindset that justifies cruelty toward dogs. She questioned how anyone could harm animals known for their loyalty, asking, “How can you kill Allah’s creatures?” She pointed out the lack of institutional support, noting there's no central helpline for reporting issues and that the Police Animal Rescue Centre is mostly inactive.
