Bollywood diva Jacqueliene Fernandez, who is also known for being an avid animal lover, has now stepped forward in support of them, urging everyone to adopt instead of shop. The 38-year-old actress took to Instagram and shared a video on her story section, showcasing distressing conditions in which dogs, including two Pomeranians, one husky, and one poodle, were kept by a breeder before being rescued. She captioned the clip as, “Another reason to adopt and not shop. The animal breeding industry is cruel and often illegal.”
