PETA hits back at Suriya PETA hits back at SuriyaPeople for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has hit back at actor Suriya for his support for the ongoing pro-Jallikattu agitation in Tamil Nadu while questioning the timing of his statement. The animal rights group has accused the actor of using the controversy to gain publicity for his forthcoming film Singam 3, which is due in theatres on January 26, terming it “extremely poor taste.”“Tamil actor Suriya Sivakumar was reported to have come out in favour of Jallikattu. PETA India notes that Suriya and several other stars are very late to the issue,” read a statement from the organisation that has surfaced in social media.

Actors Vijay and Vikram were the latest celebrities to voice their support for Jallikattu.
