Rihanna's Instagram photo, depicting her posing with
an animal categorized as a protected species has lead to the arrest of
two young men.
If you follow Rihanna
on Instagram, you're probably aware of her recent trip to Thailand. The
last few days have seen the singer posting dozens of photos of her
voyage, mainly consisting of beach poses. It's one seemingly unassuming
selfie that has garnered some controversy however, leading to the arrest
of two men.The photo depicts Rihanna posing with a slow loris (a creature you may recognize from Youtube fame), which actually turns out to be a protected species. Two young men (one only 16) have been charged with possession of the loris, and their charges could result in a four year prison sentence as well as a fine of $1,300.
Rihanna does not seem to be facing any consequences for posing with the animal, and has yet to comment on the situation.
