Mumbai, Nov 20: Team India skipper Virat Kohli has been named People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India's Person of the Year for 2019.

Kohli's efforts to improve conditions for animals include sending a letter on PETA India's behalf to officials calling for the release of Malti, an elephant used for rides at Amer Fort, who was reportedly violently beaten by eight men; helping PETA India call for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, to be updated in order to deter acts of violence towards animals through stronger penalties for animal abusers; and more.
