The current Miss Universe generated a debate on social media by sharing a controversial photo shoot with a wild animal.
Sheynnis Palacios, Miss Universe 2023, sparked criticism by uploading a photo gallery on social media. The Nicaraguan queen is visiting Africa, where she has the opportunity to share with the inhabitants of the city of Zimbabwe, among other activities.
He has also been able to get to know the flora and fauna of the town closely, so he took the opportunity to do a photo shoot with a cheetah, which is part of a rescue program that seeks to raise awareness of people to protect and preserve wildlife.

The publication has four images, where you look at Palacios and the mammal, which has a leash.
“Miss Universe, Sheynnispalacios-of immerses himself in African nature and finds his fierce reflection in the savannah: the cheetah, his wild and free companion. From domestication to a wild life, these cheetahs were rescued from a home and now thrive in the savannah with human care. Its history is a comforting reminder of the importance of protecting and preserving animal freedom,” is the message that accompanies the photos.
The reaction of the followers didn’t wait, even former beauty queens didn’t agree with those kinds of images.
“Sheynnis spectacular queen as always is “but it is too sorry that she is put up with a wild animal that does not have to be on a leash nor should she be trained to live with humans. These animals are free to come on “missuniverse we are better than this,” wrote Andrea Meza, Miss Universe 2020.
“I love the pictures… BUT hahahaha there’s always a but. Wild animals are not for this,” “Everyone talking about the model but no one talks about the animal exploited in the photo, as they can applaud tremendous animal abuse,” “Unnecessary to have that little animal there, be aware is a wild animal, I hate not this semi-dollar so that it can pose…,” are other comments that can be read.
However, there are other users who defend the work that Sheynnis does: I love it. A Nicaraguan woman-jaguar with a Cheetah This is FIERA. And we love,” “This woman is leaving this contest so high that the next Miss Universe has to give everything, even if it is the minimum of what Sheyniss has done.”
