During the conference she also posed accurate to a full grown lion, and shared a picture on Instagram with the heading, “I can’t always contain my inner animal.”
The seemingly undisruptive shoot has angered animal rights groups.
“Lion cubs are not photo props,” Dr. Neil D’Cruze, a wildlife expert from World Animal Protection, told Day after day Mail. “Their shape and well-being should not be compromised. They belong in the wild, not draped over a celebrity just to sell a designer watch.”
David M. Benett Cara Delevingne has become a new TAG Heuer brand ambassador. “I am sure both the advertisers and consumers alike would think twice about the commercial use of wild animals if they were attentive of the suffering caught up behind the scenes,” D’Cruze added.
Despite being scolded, the model has continued to share pictures on her Twitter account, including a photo of a cub chewing on her finger with the heading, “marvel date.”
