A Russian Instagram influencer has received backlash for posing nude on top of an endangered elephant while shooting a video to be posted on her Instagram page of 536,000 followers.
Alesya Kafelnikova, 22, posted the short video to Instagram on February 13, showing herself nude on top a Sumatran elephant.
“Poor elephant. Aren’t you ashamed to lie naked on an elephant? This is a living creature. Money overshadows everything,” one Instagram follower said.
Another called the photoshoot a “violation” against the animal.
In the short Instagram video, the critically endangered animal is seen wagging its tail and shaking its ears as Kafelnikova lay nude on its back.

A charity group told The Sun that the Russian model’s use of the elephant in her photo shoot was a “tragic trivialization.”
“Yet another tragic trivialization of the majestic Asian elephant when the species is fighting for its very existence against brutal abuse in tourism and human ‘entertainment,’” the charity Save the Asian Elephants told The Sun.
“Save The Asian Elephants stands for a ban by law on the advertising and sale of unethical venues where these special creatures are commercialized with beating, stabbing and every kind of torture to break them for easy commercial exploitation – genuine sanctuaries only.”
According to The Daily Star, the Sumatran elephant is not native to Bali, where she currently lives. Some elephants in Asia are kept captive to serve the region’s tourism industry.
