Nadia Afghan has spoken out against violence towards animals, particularly stray dogs, and urged parents to teach children kindness and compassion towards animals.
During a recent conversation, the Pakistani actress said killing dogs could have a negative impact on children. She warned that such practices may give young people the impression that violence can solve problems.
Afghan acknowledged that streets can be unsafe for everyone, including children and animals. However, she said communities could improve the situation through vaccination, food and proper care instead of killing stray dogs.
Call for Vaccination and Care
The actress said authorities and communities should vaccinate stray dogs rather than poison or shoot them.

According to Afghan, vaccination can help control the spread of diseases. It can also contribute to safer streets for both people and animals.
She said society should seek humane solutions to problems involving stray animals.
Family Shaped Her Compassion
Afghan also shared memories from her childhood.
She said her family had a dog at home. Her mother, she added, had a strong interest in rescuing and caring for animals.
The actress said her mother inherited this compassion from her grandmother.
As a result, Afghan believes that kindness towards animals should begin at home.
She urged parents to teach children empathy and responsibility towards animals from an early age.
Afghan said raising children with compassion could help create a society that values empathy instead of violence.
