Cara's Kisses
Our friend Cara has been making headlines yet again this week, but not for any fashion related business. This time, she has actually managed to get the plight of PETA to the front pages. Her crime? Kissing the head of a tiger. A gorgeous cub named Louise. Apparently, because the tiger was older than the 'legal' age of such intimate contact with humans, Louise could have easily killed Delevigne and her companions. Goodness, we knew sexual relations were controversial, but not dangerous. Hmm.
There were other reasons that this escapade made headlines, with the ranch owner having had his exhibiting license revoked in 2001. Obviously, this is something to be reprimanded as completely and utterly irresponsible. But we ask. Is this the sort of animal rights malarky that should be making headlines? Yes, more people now know that PETA exist, but not what they do or why. Why aren't the poor rhinos and elephants, who are being poached left, right and centre, given as much airtime and Louise's love life? Why don't people seem to care as much about the poor dogs and cats of Battersea Dogs Home? It's local, so it can't be that bad, right?
Cara, if you have enough power to let the world know a tiger's legal age limit, go to a game reserve in Africa and let people know about what really happens to the elephants who splash each other gaily with water for all safari-goers and Attenborough-viewers to see. Or better yet, get your backside across the river, my dear, and go and frolic with some puppies.
