Influencer slammed for ‘cruel' activity while in Egypt
Tammy Hembrow's holiday to Egypt has been slammed on social media after she took photos in revealing outfits at tourist attractions in the conservative country and allegedly rode an abused camel. The 31-year-old influencer experienced the trip hosted by Aweventurer last week and was spotted riding on the back of a camel in several photos and videos posted by other travelling content creators on the tour. However, she hid the snaps from her own page, posting only a photo of two camels from the ride with a pyramid in the background. The series of photos have angered animal activists who have called for the Saski activewear founder to speak out about the backlash. Bailey Mason, who runs Instagram account Warrior For Animals, commented on the photos, highlighting the abuse inflicted on the camels in Egypt's tourism industry. 'I am an animal rights campaigner and am deeply disappointed @tammyhembrow rode abused camels,' Mr Mason wrote in a post shared to his Instagram. 'I am glad the post has been removed but more needs to be done against exploitation in tourism.' Hembrow was spotted riding on the back of a camel in several photos and videos posted by other travelling content creators. Credit: Supplied The animal rights campaigner also commented on one of Hembrow's Egypt posts, saying: 'I'm politely asking if you can do your bit to end the exploitation of animals in tourism. 'I've been supporting you for a long time even praising you for advocating for eating more plant based foods in 2020 to help the environment and of (course) animal welfare.' Hembrow's followers also took to the comments section of the mother-of-three's posts, sharing messages of disappointment. 'How about don't torture animals and don't ride a camel?!! Can't believe it's even on the program,' one follower said. Another person said: Do you have any idea how they are being treated and how exhausted they are from all the moronic tourists exploiting them for no f***ing reason.' 'Please leave animals and carriage rides out of your plans. Very cruel would never visit a country with such lack for empathy or regulations on animal welfare,' a third added. The negative commentary resulted in the travel company removing the camel rides from the tour itinerary. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

According to an article by PETA Australia updated in April, camels continue to suffer from injury and skin disease because they're denied sufficient veterinary treatment. In 2019, PETA Asia investigations at the Great Pyramid of Giza and Luxor's royal tombs documented abuse of horses and camels who pull tourists in carriages or serve as photo props in severe conditions without appropriate shade or food. It seems Hembrow's trip has been marred with controversy after people also took aim at her revealing outfit choices while checking out tourist hot spots. Many of her posts from the getaway show the social media sensation exposing her tattooed arms and midriff while wearing a headscarf. 'Pretty sure this is cultural appropriation cause you're not wearing that scarf to cover your body,' one person said. Another added: 'A holiday to Egypt, while half naked, is possibly one the most time [sic] deaf things I've ever seen.' 'Your choice of clothing is actually quite offensive to the locals Your travel advisor should have told you about local etiquette,' a third added. While there is no legal dress code in Egypt, it is considered respectful for tourists to follow the cultural norm of modest attire.

Married At First Sight's Carina Mirabile leaves her fur coat at home after being slammed for wearing banned 'animal skins' to Australian Fashion Week
Carina Mirabile has ditched her fake fur after a clash with an animal activist. The Married At First Sight star arrived for day four of Australian Fashion Week in Sydney on Thursday without a coat in sight. The 31-year-old opted for a dramatic black maxi gown with a huge tulle floral design at the front. She added a of heels but otherwise skipped the accessories to let her frock, which included a long train, do all the talking. For makeup, Carina chose a clean look with a dark pink nude lipstick and wore her dark hair in soft curls. It comes after Carina hit back at an animal activist after she was slammed for wearing a 'fur coat' to Australian Fashion Week on day two. Bailey, who runs the account Warrior For Animals, shared images of the reality TV star in the ankle-length 'vintage' coat, claiming she 'defied' the event's no animal skin rule. However, Carina, 31, has since taken to her own social media page to assure followers the shaggy brown jacket she purchased in Brooklyn is actually faux fur. The debacle kicked off on Wednesday when Bailey shared a collage of Carina in her fur coat next to news AFW had 'banned all wildlife materials' from runways. 'Australian Fashion Week banned fur and exotic skins. Deliberately in defiance of the AFW policy, Carina Mirabile decided to wear real fur at AFW,' Bailey wrote. 'An official complaint has been made to ban Carina from AFW because of her breach of animal welfare policy.' Bailey then went on to note the moments Carina said she was wearing fur to AFW. The first was a selfie she shared to Instagram, which saw her sitting in a car wearing the controversial coat with the caption: 'Look two. Wearing vintage fur coat #afw.' The second time Carina mentioned wearing fur came during an interview with Daily Mail Australia when she was asked about her outfit. 'Yes this is my own 'fit. I bought this fur coat from New York in Brooklyn and I've got SKIMS on underneath and literally pantyhose stockings,' she said. Carina wore a nude SKIMS 'Ultimate Butt' bodysuit beneath the coat, opting for a look inspired by Kim Kardashian. While the bride has not directly referenced Bailey's accusations, she has since shared a post to her Instagram Stories saying the coat is not real fur. 'It's not real fur FYI and my stylist uses vegan products,' she captioned an image of her look. Carina's makeup artist Angelina Jade commented beneath saying: 'She a vegan baddie.' The budding fashionista also made a statement to Chattr on Thursday, reiterating she was not wearing real fur. 'It's not real fur, bought from a vintage store in New York. I wouldn't wear anything that's not ethically sourced,' she says. She went on to say it was 'worrying' to see people jump to conclusions so quickly. Carina has since taken to her own social media page to assure followers the shaggy brown coat she purchased in Brooklyn is actually faux fur 'People are so quick to judge in this day and age and it's worrying and detrimental on people's lives,' 'We are not robots. If people have nothing nice to say, they shouldn't say anything at all. 'There is already enough cruelty in the world, people shouldn't add to it, but try and make it a better peaceful place.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Carina for further comment, as well as the Australian Fashion Council to verify any complaints made. AFW banned all wildlife-derived materials, including fur, exotic animal skins and feathers, from being used on runways this year and in the future. The new policy came into immediate effect, making the ongoing AFW, held from 12 to 16 May, the first edition to fully exclude wildlife materials from its runways. The Australian Fashion Council's new policy was developed alongside Collective Fashion Justice and World Animal Protection. It comes following years of activism calling for cruel materials to be excluded from the show.
