Influencer forçada a pedir desculpa depois de ter tirado uma “selfie” com pinguins a fazer sexo

Uma influencer veio publicamente pedir desculpa depois de se ter aproximado, por acidente, de um casal de pinguins enquanto estava a tentar tirar uma selfie. A influencer e youtuber Steph Elswood esteve a viajar pela Boulders Beach na Cidade do Cabo, África do Sul, e decidiu tirar uma selfie ao lado de dois pinguins que estavam a da a real martelada.

E a fotografia acabou por ser bastante criticada…

Ok so this is my favourite selfie of all time… but please swipe to the next picture???? I was there for about 10 minutes trying to get a good pic next to my new pals Penny and Guin and THEY WERE HAVING SEX THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!! I was being too self-absorbed to notice!!! HAHAHA OOPS. (There’s also some cute photos in the swipe too that don’t involve penguin porn)? It’s been an amazing last day adventuring around Cape Town and I’ve loved every minute of our experience here! ?? PS. I have just been informed that the penguins on Boulders Beach are under a lot of stress due to tourists trying to get too close. I feel guilty that I contributed to that and thought that because they weren’t reacting when I got close that they weren’t bothered by me. If you are considering visiting this spot, then please be mindful and ask guards for appropriate distances because no one told us any of the rules I’ve been messaged about since posting this. I will definitely learn from this for the future and I’m sorry to anyone affected by this post ❤️ ? #SouthAfrica #Penguins #CapeTown #Selfie

Apesar de a youtuber ter achado bastante piada às fotografias tiradas inicialmente, mais tarde percebeu que os pinguins na Boulders Beach estavam saturados dos turistas, pois estes tentam constantemente chegar perto deles para tirar fotografias.

Na realidade, um “código de conduta” endereçado pelos South African National Parks explica que os turistas devem evitar zonas de criação de pinguins, sendo que se pede exclusivamente aos visitantes para não os incomodarem ou usarem selfie sticks perto dos animais.

O que dizer?
