Bopanna urges fans to shun cockfighting in Peta Ad

As part of an ad campaign for PETA, tennis star Rohan Bopanna has urged his fans to stay away from cockfighting, a blood sport in which roosters are placed in a ring and forced to fight to death.

Posing with rescued rooster Smack, he appears next to the words ‘Tennis Is a Sport — Cockfighting Is Not’.
The visual for the campaign was shot by ace photographer Sam Mohan.

In December 2014, Bopanna had caged himself holding a sign that proclaims ‘Try to Relate to Their Fate.

Say No to Cockfighting’, as part of a similar ad campaign.PTI
