Sonakshi Sinha is angry with people ill-treating animals, and says that animals are far better than humans because they are not "sick in the brain". "Why do people relate behaving badly to 'behaving like an animal?' Please behave like animals. Because animals dont kill for fun, or for their entertainment or because they're just sick in the brain. Humans do," tweeted the actress. This tweet by Sonakshi comes as a reaction to the brutal incident of a pregnant elephant being killed by humans who fed her with pineapple stuffed with firecrackers. The firecrackers exploded in her mouth and the female elephant died while standing in a river. Akshay Kumar Demands Strict Action Against Pregnant Elephant’s Death in Kerala, Says #AllLivesMatter (View Pic)
