Justin Bieber Courts Controversy With Lion Cub Pics

Justin Bieber continues to be at one with nature. This time, though, he's moved from trees to big cats.

Earlier this month the Canadian singer irked PETA by posing with a tiger at his father's engagement party in Toronto. The animal rights organization doesn't take kindly to exotic animals being used for entertainment. They also pointed out that the owner of the tiger's zoo had recently been accused of animal cruelty.

But Bieber clearly isn't bowing down to the criticism. New photos posted by "serial entrepreneur" Alex Haditaghi show the pop star feeding a white lion cub from a bottle before his concert this week in Toronto.

"Justin really cares about the conservation of these beautiful animals," Haditaghi posted on Instagram. "He is truly a class act and awesome guy!"

Incidentally, both the cub and Haditaghi are named Alex.
