Justin Bieber, wife Hailey slammed by PETA for spending $35k on cats

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin recently bought two exotic Savanah cats, after which PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) slammed the couple for spending $35K and accused them of not caring about the animal overpopulation crisis in the United States. PETA's Senior Vice President Lisa Lange reportedly claims that Bieber could have inspired his fans by adopting a cat rather than fueling the dangerous demand for hybrid cats. The couple also made an Instagram Page for their new cats which already has approximately 1 lakh followers. "Justin Bieber could inspire his fans around the world to save a life by adopting a cat from a local animal shelter - rather than fueling the dangerous demand for hybrid cats, contributing to the animal overpopulation crisis, and proving that when it comes to helping animals, his stance so far is 'I don't care',” READ: 6-year-old Mizoram Boy Receives Peta India's 'Compassionate Kid' Award For Trying To Save Chicken He Had Accidentally Run Over Cats worth $35K Bieber reportedly bought the cats from an Illinois-based breeder and spent $20,000 and $15,000 each.
