These 7 Hindi movies showed animal cruelty and no questions were asked!

Sad. No one asks animals if they want to play the role assigned in the movie. Especially those tamed in the name of training for circus performances are beaten with tools, including whips and electric rods. Many films have used animals for circus-like performance in the movies too.
 
But, thanks to animal activist and BJP leader Maneka Gandhi and PETA, who gave voice to the problems of animals and restricted from making performance acts from animals in the movies. Their initiative led to a law which made cruelty to animals in films as a non-bailable offence.
 
Have a look at these 7 movies where animals have been used extensively.  
 
 
Hathi Mere Sathi

Here, actress Rekha’s pets (in the film) a dog and the horse played a significant role in the climax of a film. Rekha's pet and helped her fight the enemies. The dog and the horse appear just at the right moments in the movie when the audience needed an extra dose of emotion. 
 
Sholay

The eagle was as much a part of this blockbuster movie Coolie as Amitabh Bachchan himself and the bird even saved the hero from the villains. The film's poster with the bird perched on Amitabh's wrist says it all. 
 
Aankhen 

 
Both the films have one ichha-dhari nagin and several actors dancing to her tunes! The movies included cobras, yes they are dangerous as they are a very poisonous. It's tough to train them as they don't understand commands. Only a snake charmer can do this job well by hypnotising the snake.
 
 
Maine Pyar Kiya

 
In the movie there was an entire song addressing, a pigeon can only happen in Bollywood. Where the lead actress Bhagyashree pleases the bird to deliver her love letter to her lover Salman Khan, it was the first time in Bollywood a pigeon was given a major role in the movie. We can imagine how many retakes the poor bird had to go through to get a perfect shot. I feel sorry for the kabootar.
