Authorities to Justin Bieber: Stop taking pictures with exotic cats

After posing with exotic animals on two separate occasions for pictures that ended up online, Justin Bieber has been issued a very bizarre warning.

The Toronto Animal Service informed the singer he must stop posing with big cats.

The warning comes after photos surfaced of Bieber cozying up with a tiger at his dad's engagement party in April -- and then in May, with a white lion cub backstage at a show.

TMZ reports that the animal service informed Bieber it's illegal to have any type of exotic cat within city limits, issuing a stern warning for any future visits. 

In fact, taking pictures with the animals is enough to have them seized, the TAS said.

The animals were allegedly a courtesy of the Bowmanville Zoo, an organization PETA has subsequently attacked, criticizing, "No reputable animal-care facility lends out exotic animals for private parties and Instagram photos."
