Vacation in Turkey for Nabilla, who posted an Instagram photo of her family posing in a pool … with a poor dolphin. A post whose comments have been blocked to avoid a well-deserved backlash.

We may have a passion for Nabilla, his last Instagram post dated August 11, 2021 does not pass. We see the influencer and businesswoman posing with her husband Thomas and their sons Milann. But also, of a dolphin which floats in a swimming pool of Antalya, in Turkey, where the family spends their holidays. In the title of the photo, Nabilla writes: “Today we met Loulou the dolphin”. Which would be lovely if Loulou wasn’t a victim of serious abuse.

Indeed, dolphins and other marine mammals have nothing to do in spaces as small as swimming pools, and should not have to play clowns to amuse tourists. In January 2021, the National Assembly voted elsewhere the closure of the dolphinariums in France, with a ban from 2022 for parks to keep killer whales, and from 2027, dolphins. Info that apparently did not reach Nabilla (or that she chose to ignore). And she is not the only one: in the community of reality TV influencers, posing for photos with wild animals is a kind of tradition that must be abandoned urgently.

When influencers contribute to animal abuse

Already, in October 2020, two reality TV stars had drawn the wrath of animal rights defenders, in particular journalist Hugo Clément. Manon and Julien Tanti had indeed shared photos of their vacation, which showed them stroking a crocodile and a small monkey in captivity. What earn them a post Facebook, quickly went viral, from the journalist. “When two reality TV candidates (Manon and Julien Tanti), followed by more than 6 million people, film themselves on the networks walking a monkey and a crocodile on a leash, or “playing” with a baby tiger on a leash. cage, wrote Hugo Clément. All this while encouraging their children to do the same “.
These last years, other candidates had also been pinned for selfies with captive wild animals.

To avoid criticism, Nabilla simply chose to close the comments under her Instagram post. This does not prevent the image from currently circulating on Twitter and Instagram, Internet users denouncing his choice of summer activity everything, except good for the protection of wild life.
