Kim Kardashian has defended her decision to ride an elephant in Bali, after she was accused of promoting animal cruelty.
Last week, the 38-year-old was pictured riding an elephant during her family’s visit to a sanctuary in Sumatra.
After the photos hit headlines, the reality star was branded “irresponsible”, but Kim has since taken to Twitter to defend herself.
She tweeted: “We visited an elephant sanctuary that has rescued these elephants from Sumatra where they would have otherwise gone extinct.”
We visited an elephant sanctuary that has rescued these elephants from Sumatra where they would have otherwise gone extinct. It is an organization that is working to save these beautiful animals. We did full research before going.

“It is an organization that is working to save these beautiful animals. We did full research before going.”
The mother-of-three visited the sanctuary with her sister Kourtney and all of their kids.
Kourtney also had a ride on an elephant, and the famous sisters allowed their kids to pat the animals.
