Some posted about strays between bites of mutton biryani: Twinkle
Twinkle Khanna, the Bollywood actress and author, has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind. Recently, she took to social media to express her thoughts on the Supreme Court’s order regarding stray dogs in Delhi-NCR. The court had directed the authorities to shift the stray dogs to shelters, a move that sparked controversy and outrage among many animal lovers.
Twinkle Khanna, who is known for her witty and humorous takes on life, couldn’t help but notice the hypocrisy of the situation. In a series of tweets, she pointed out that some protesters had taken to social media to share their outrage about the order, but had done so while enjoying their lunch break – complete with a plate of mutton biryani.
“Some of you took your lunch break to post about the strays between bites of mutton biryani,” she tweeted. “Morality tastes better when served with a McDonald’s hamburger, don’t you think?”
Twinkle Khanna’s comments were likely a tongue-in-cheek jab at the selective empathy that many people demonstrate when it comes to social and environmental issues. While it’s easy to get worked up about a cause, it’s another thing altogether to take action and make sacrifices in order to support that cause.
The Supreme Court’s order was a significant one, as it directed the authorities to shift the stray dogs to shelters and then release them after sterilization. The move was aimed at reducing the population of stray dogs in the region, which has been a growing concern in recent years.
However, the order was met with widespread criticism and outrage from animal lovers and advocates, who argued that it was inhumane to sterilize and release the dogs without providing them with proper care and shelter. Many also pointed out that the order was a Band-Aid solution to a much larger problem, and that the root causes of the stray dog issue needed to be addressed.
Twinkle Khanna’s comments were likely a response to this outrage, and her tongue-in-cheek jab at the protesters who were sharing their outrage on social media while enjoying their lunch break. By pointing out the hypocrisy of the situation, she was highlighting the need for people to take action and make sacrifices in order to support the causes they care about.
In a follow-up tweet, Twinkle Khanna noted that the court’s order had revealed the “hypocrisy of human nature” and that people tend to thrive on “selective empathy”. She also praised the Supreme Court for taking a bold step in addressing the stray dog issue, even if it was imperfect.
“We thrive on selective empathy, don’t we?” she tweeted. “We love to tweet about stray dogs, but rarely do we take the time to understand the complexities of the issue. Kudos to the Supreme Court for taking a bold step, even if it’s imperfect. Let’s work together to make it better.”
Twinkle Khanna’s comments sparked a lively debate on social media, with many people agreeing with her assessment of the situation and others criticizing her for being too harsh. However, her words served as a reminder of the importance of taking action and making sacrifices in order to support the causes we care about.
As the debate continues to rage on, one thing is clear: the Supreme Court’s order has brought attention to the issue of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR, and it’s up to each of us to decide how we want to respond. Whether it’s by sharing our outrage on social media or taking action to support animal welfare organizations, we all have a role to play in making a difference.
