Baskin is slamming the pair's use of wild cats in their newly released music

video, explaining that even though she's convinced they were inserted in post-
production they still would've been posed for the footage. Notwithstanding,
Baskin didn't care for the summer sizzler at all due to its racy imagery.
"My guess is that most people won't even see the photoshopped cats in the scenes
because the rest of it is so sexually explicit," Baskin, found and CEO of Big Cat
Rescue, tells EW in a statement. "I was happy to see that it does appear to all be
photoshopped. It didn't look like the cats were really in the rooms with the
singers."
She adds, "That being said, you have to pose a wildcat in front of a green screen
to get that image and that doesn't happen in the wild. It can't happen in
sanctuaries like ours where cats have plenty of room to avoid a green screen (or
would shred it if offered access and could die from ingesting it). That tells me
they probably dealt with one of the big cat pimps, probably even one of the ones
shown in Tiger King, Murder, Mayhem and Madness, who make a living from
beating, shocking and starving cats to make them stand on cue in front of a green
screen in a studio. That's never good for the cat."
