Russian professional boxer Anastasia Luchkina has gone viral with a controversial video in which she is seen vaping with an endangered orangutan (it is in the Red Book of endangered species).
The orangutan 'Dana', which is the only primate of its species in Crimea, was seriously affected after inhaling smoke several times at the Taigan safari park.
Local media reports that the orangutan has shown "disturbing" behaviour since the incident and fear that 'Dana' may have swallowed one of the vape cartridges, which contains between 2.5 and 3 ml of nicotine liquid.
I didn't know Anastasia smoked. She is currently on vacation. No doubt we will talk about this matter when she returns
'Zamin.uz' reports that the 24-year-old faces a fine and suspension.
"I didn't know Anastasia smoked. She is currently on holiday. We will certainly talk about this matter when she returns," the boxer's coach said when asked about the incident.
