Dan Bilzerian is facing the wrath of animal rights group PETA by feeding a giant Kodiak bear at his lavish 4/20 party. 

The so-called “King of Instagram” was celebrating the high holiday when he hand-fed one of North America’s largest apex predators in front of his typical ‘Gram-ready entourage: a cavalcade of scantily-clad young women.

Video of the insane moment quickly went viral as it racked up more than 15 million likes and comments. His caption was also on-brand: “When your girls [sic] hungry.” 

The unusual ursine guest was reportedly provided by Steve Martin’s Working Wildlife, a business that rents professionally trained “animal actors” for movies and parties, which by the way, has no affiliation with the famed comic actor of the same name. 

PETA responded by blasting out letters to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services, alleging that Bilzerian and Martin unlawfully exhibited the bear. 

PETA also sent abbreviated versions of the complaints to Bro Bible: 

In a letter to the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services, PETA notes that Bilzerian and Martin didn’t have the required permit for this display. They couldn’t have had one, because city regulations expressly prohibit keeping bears in the residential zone where the party took place.

And in a letter to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, PETA points out that because Martin failed to contain the bear in an escape-proof enclosure or to ensure that a safe distance was maintained between the animal and the public, he’s subject to permit revocation and a fine of up to $10,000 per violation.

“Bears belong in the wild, not in captivity, pimped out as props by shameless pseudo-celebrities like Bilzerian for Instagram ‘likes,’” says PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange. “PETA is calling on authorities to throw the book at scofflaw animal exhibitor Steve Martin and the man who hired him for this dangerous stunt.”

Bilzerian defended himself by accusing PETA of jumping on “the typical internet bandwagon” in a statement to People. 

“It’s pretty obvious I love animals,” he says. “I gave up hunting a long time ago. I’ve tweeted ‘you should only kill an animal if you are gonna eat it, and that trophy hunters obviously have small dicks.'”

“I appreciate people trying to stand up for animals,” he added. “However, you’ve got people killing thousands of animals everyday for sport, torturing dogs in China and clubbing seals to death for fun. [PETA] wants to do the typical internet bandwagon on whatever is popular and come after me.”

“[PETA] can suck my dick,” Bilzerian concluded. “I was feeding a very healthy, happy bear who was rescued at a young age.”

Regardless of whether Bilzerian was right or wrong to invite a bear to his bash, it’s clear that the guy enjoys the company of animals. 

His recent Instagram posts have featured an array of exotic creatures including a Komodo Dragon, a cobra, a Galapagos tortoise, and even a giraffe.  

One thing’s for sure: This definitely won’t be the Bilzerian-PETA feud. 

Producers of the much-anticipated 25th James Bond movie–starring Daniel Craig as 007 for the final time–have announced that Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek has joined the cast as the film’s villain.

The Oscar winner was already in full Bond villain mode when he confirmed his latest gig via a video message on Twitter: “I promise you all I will be making sure Mr. Bond does not have an easy ride of it in this, his 25th outing.”

Previously, it was rumored that the film had a working title of Shatterhand, but as of yet it still remains untitled and is tentatively called Bond 25.

Director Cary Fukunaga also confirmed that Ralph Fiennes is returning as M, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, former Maxim cover model Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, Ben Whishaw as Q, Jeffrey Wright as CIA agent Felix Leiter, and Rory Kinnear as Bond ally Tanner. 

New cast members include Ana de Armas, Dali Benssalah, David Dencik, Lashana Lynch, and Billy Magnussen.

Filming is scheduled to begin on April 28 and parts will be filmed in the Caribbean island nation of Jamaica where author Ian Fleming wrote all of the Bond novels and other Bond movies were shot. 

“We’re thrilled to return to Jamaica with Bond 25, Daniel Craig’s fifth installment in the 007 series, where Ian Fleming created the iconic James Bond character and Dr No and Live And Let Die were filmed,” said producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

Other filming locations will include Norway, London, and Italy. 

While still vague, the storyline is as follows: 

Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help.

The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

In an interview with Inquirer, Fukunaga explained that Bond 25 would carry on the story arc Craig’s Bond has been following since Casino Royale instead of being a standalone film.

“In his first Bond movie, Casino Royale, he brought an incredible amount of vulnerability and humanity to the character, which was a big shift from Pierce Brosnan’s run.

“In terms of what I can bring to change the character, Bond is on a character arc that started with ‘Casino Royale,’ and I will be carrying that on. There will be changes, I am sure. As in any story, a character has to change in order [to have] a narrative.”

Bond 25 is slated to hit theaters April 8, 2020.
