These are Sushi Bieber (left) and Tuna (right), two Savannah kittens (a breed created by the domestic feline blend with the wild African cat) of Justin Bieber, for which the singer paid $ 35,000. Justin, who has no problem with the money, is happy for his kittens, but PETA doesn't.
The American Organization for the Protection of Animals (PETA) ironicized Bieber's purchase, noting that he could have donated the money and simply adopted two cats.
In a statement to People, PETA Vice President Lisa Lange said: ?Baby, baby, baby, nooooo. Justin Bieber should inspire his followers around the world in order to rescue animals by adopting them from a local animal shelter, rather than fostering the desire for hybrid cats. It should contribute to the crisis of animal overcrowding. ?
Justin reacted harshly, saying PETA "has to deal with real problems." ?PETA, go and focus on real problems like hunting or wildlife. Are you saying why I love a certain type of cat ?! Why don't you mention my Oscar dog, which I rescued? Or should we adopt any kind of pets they should receive? PETA, go do something about the plastic in the ocean and leave my beautiful cats comfortable. ?
After that, the president of the organization responded with a second statement.
"I'm sorry, Justin, but you have to think more deeply about this: When millions of animals lose their lives every day because people decide to buy and not adopt, the overcrowding crisis is a real problem. We invite you to spend an hour in an animal shelter to find out that overpopulation is due to people who pay and do not adopt. You have the power to be a role model, so use your power for good. ?
