Irina Shayk was accused of cruelty to animals because of photos with a "crippled" Doberman (2 photos)

Dobermans are beautiful and stately dogs, which are often become the heroes of photo shoots. World-class model Irina Shayk hit into a scandal just doing your job.





Irina took part in a photo shoot with a dog in New York. The main location for filming was the urban landscape of New York. Photographed by Cass Bird. In the frame next to the model stands doberman with cropped ears on a short leash.



It was the Doberman that angered animal rights activists. The photograph was published in the April issue of Vogue Taiwan, the dog was noticed British animal rights activists.

The thing is that the dog's ears are cropped. In Great Britain Ear cropping has been banned since 2006, except when ear cropping is necessary for medical reasons. Animal Defender claim that ear cropping for dogs is just a human whim, using an animal as an accessory.

Dogs "talk" with their ears, and cut off part of them - means not only to injure the animal, but also to deprive it of an important means of communication and expression. This is not a fashion accessory, but a living being, which must be respected. Encourage people to buy dogs that undergone a painful procedure that is illegal in Great Britain, completely inappropriate, - said the PETA speaker in an interview with Daily Mail.

Animal rights activists have accused the model of abuse and demanded a public apology. Vogue noticed that the photo shoot was performed in the United States, where the cupping procedure is allowed.
