Throughout her trip to Cabo, Abraham, who was in town with boyfriend Simon Saran, shared tons of photos with fans, one of which led to a PETA scandal.

"After sharing a slew of well-documented interactions with local animals, the adult film star subjected herself to plenty of scrutiny. But most shocking of all, Abraham posted a snap of herself holding a lion cub during the romantic getaway," Radar Online reported on Friday.

While Abraham's photo may have seemed innocent at first glance, what the Teen Mom OG star likely did not know was that some animals overseas are medicated to remain drowsy, so tourist like her could interact with them without fear.

In response to the photo, PETA released the following statement to Radar Online:

“PETA is certain that Farrah, like any mother, would be horrified to learn that lion cubs used for photo ops are torn away from their mothers shortly after birth so that they can be passed from one stranger to another — and that when they grow too big to be used as props, these animals are often abandoned at appalling roadside zoos, slaughtered for meat, or used as targets in canned hunts. We hope that Farrah will stick to animal-free tourism in the future.”
