ACTRESS SONYAA SAAMOOR ADVOCATES FOR ANIMAL COMPASSION AND VEGETARIANISM
In a recent heartfelt statement, actress Sonyaa Saamoor has expressed her deep-seated compassion for animals, emphasizing a philosophy that extends far beyond domestic pets like dogs and cats. Known for her roles in various television dramas and popularly known for her character in Kasautii Zindagii Kay , Saamoor has not only embraced a vegetarian lifestyle but has also become a vocal advocate for animal rights and compassion.
"My love goes beyond just dogs and cats; I have compassion for all animals. I am a true animal lover," Saamoor passionately stated. "I am a vegetarian because I cannot harm animals. I don't understand why people think only their pets' lives are precious. Why isn't every animal's life precious?" Saamoor, who believes that connecting with animals and adopting a vegetarian diet enhances spiritual growth, remarked on the transformative effect it has had on her.
"I believe that getting closer to animals and becoming a vegetarian opens your heart chakra. It certainly opened mine," she explained. The actress has recently adopted a cat, named her Diego. The actress also shared endearing anecdotes about her personal experiences with animals, particularly highlighting the often misunderstood nature of cats.
"People often have misconceptions about cats, but once you interact closely with them, you learn about their loving side," Saamoor reflected. "Cats are funnier than dogs; their playfulness and mannerisms always make me laugh. My cat is my alarm clock, waking me up at exactly 6 am." Her admiration for animals extends to a broader spiritual belief. "Animals are angels sent from heaven, brightening every difficult situation with their funny gestures," she remarked, underscoring her belief that adopting a pet can enrich one's life immeasurably.
Furthermore, Saamoor drew parallels between her advocacy for animals and teachings from various spiritual traditions. "Lord Shiva's depictions teach us to be compassionate towards every animal. Every enlightened being that walked the face of the earth taught us to be compassionate towards all animals," she pointed out. "We put up Buddha's art on our walls but learn nothing about his teachings." As she continues to promote awareness about animal welfare and vegetarianism, Saamoor hopes to inspire others to embrace a similar philosophy of compassion and respect towards all living beings.
