A couple in Pakistan caused massive outrage for allegedly using a sedated lion cub as a prop in their wedding photoshoot.
In videos and photos doing the rounds on social media, the couple can be seen posing in traditional outfits as the cub is seen lying around.
The shoot was held at Lahore-based Studio Afzl and photos were shared with hashtag #SherdiRanil.
After facing backlash, the studio claimed that they didn't own the animal and that it was not sedated either.
Numerous rescue organisation and animal activist groups urged officials to take action against the studio and the couple and alter the way licenses are handed over to private individuals.
