Shahid Afridi criticized over his choice of keeping wild animals as pets

LAHORE - Shahid Afridi, more often known as Lala, is one of the best cricketers we are blessed with. However it seems like one cannot be perfect. Afridi has been under fire for keeping wild animals as pets at home, which seems unethical to the general public as they cannot come to terms with the fact that such animals who are used to an open habitat are caged inside a house as a symbol of lavish life for Afridi.

Shahid posted a message about the well being of animals and a snap of his cute daughter imitating him

We wonder if you spot a lion at the back of his daughter's snap. Yes, it really is there!

The cricketing lion received backlash soon after

The progress of a nation is seen by how the animals are treated. We are glad to see how people are aware and advocating for animals rights after coming across Afridi's post. But at the end of the day the difference can be made by the ones who are choosing to keep wildlife inside homes, so think over it Lala!
