MOSCOW, 11 Apr. Representatives of the organization PETA accused supermodel Irina Shayk of promoting cruelty to animals, according to the Daily Mail.
Activists who advocate for the ethical treatment of animals were outraged by a photo of a celebrity with a Doberman with cropped ears. Taken for British Vogue magazine, the model appeared in a gray blazer dress, corset and chunky shoes. She kept the dog on a leash.
Representatives of PETA demanded that the publication apologize to the public for publishing the photo.
«
» Encouraging people to buy dogs that have undergone a painful procedure that is illegal in the UK is completely inappropriate. The publication broadcasts the message that animals are just fashion accessories, not creatures that deserve respect,» the activists said.
In response, the representative of the gloss said that the photo session took place in New York, where stop the ears of animals.
In 2006, the United Kingdom banned clipping of dogs' ears. But according to the observations of animal advocates, some owners ignored the law.
