Shilpa Shetty Instagram – According to the Centre for Disease Control, 3 in 4 emerging infectious diseases, like Covid-19, come from animals and animal products. When we overcrowd animals by the thousands, you create the perfect storm for the emergence and spread of disease. Not only that, but animal agriculture is a leading cause of deforestation, water & air pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change. I am learning more about the environment & our health every day… and I really encourage everyone to do the same, because we are all responsible for this planet and its future. To do our bit for the community, I have joined hands with @milliondollarvegan_india and Lala Bhagwan Das Trust to donate 1,000 ration kits to families in need, who have been affected by the Cyclones in Raigarh. Let’s commit to taking care of this planet and being responsible for the environment, our health, & the animals.
