PETA accused Bieber of animal cruelty for using the tiger as entertainment.

Proving once again that there’s no one more relatable than the Biebs, Justin celebrated his dad’s engagement to his girlfriend over the weekend at a private event in Toronto. I think we all remember that formative event of our youth, when our dads celebrated their engagements to their 28-year-old girlfriends with a private shindig featuring costumed superheroes, the 1960s Batmobile, boxer Lennox Lewis, and a live Bengal tiger. Pretty sure Alice Munro includes this scene in practically every one of her novels.

Biebs Instagrammed himself petting the tiger, while other photos surfaced of him enjoying a ride in the Batmobile as well as the company of Iron Man, Wonder Woman, and a female Captain America. Reminder: the party was billed as a “VIP Art Event.” I guess “art” in 2016 means superheroes and their transportation? Nice to know culture is definitely on the right path.

Also relevant: the engagement party took place concurrently with an event billed as “Nyotaimori Celebrating Life Love And Art.” Nyotaimori – “female body arrangement” – is the Japanese practice of sushi being served on the bodies of naked women. The takeaway here is that you could probably lower the worldwide douchebag population by a few percentage points if you nuked the Bridle Path on Saturday.

Bearers of good taste aren’t the only ones outraged by Bieber and Son’s choice of party accoutrements: PETA sent the singer a letter asking that he cease using animals for entertainment, and informed Bieber that owner of the Bowmanville Zoo, from which the tiger in question had been procured, had recently been charged with five counts of animal cruelty. Somehow, I don’t think animal cruelty is going to sway the likes of Jeremy Bieber.

As per TMZ, Biebs also entertained the attendees with a solo piano performance, so never let it be said Justin isn’t willing to go the distance to entertain his bad dad and his entourage of privileged dirtbags, at least.
