DWTS Season 21 Bindi Irwin's PETA Problem- Scandal After Launching SeaWorld Project

Dancing With the Stars usually brings people together, but it looks like this season might tear some apart. The cast for season 21 of the ABC reality series still has yet to be fully revealed, but it looks like one of the contestants is stepping in some hot water after agreeing to be a part of the series. While it has been revealed that Nick Carter and Paula Deen have been added to the roster, it is their costar Bindi Irwin who is facing some backlash after signing on for the show. Turns out that PETA is angered by the stars decision to board the show because of her involvement with SeaWorld.

Radar Online is reporting that the animal activist organization has found issue with Bindi after she agreed to team up with SeaWorld. Her work with the aquarium theme park is called Generation Nature, but while hoping to do some good, she has rubbed PETA's feathers the wrong way.

A spokesperson for PETA reached out to the site saying that they are extremely unhappy with Irwin's decision to partner up with the amusement park.

"Unlike the orcas, seals, and other animals held captive in the marine parks that she's paid to promote, Bindi Irwin chooses to prance about in front of an audience," the PETA worker explained. "PETA wishes her good luck on the show and hopes she'll soon announce that she's no longer going to support abusement parks with unwilling entertainers who ache to be with their families and in their natural environments."

Not only that, but it also looks like her grandfather, Bob Irwin, also expressed his issue with the park in a statement last year on his personal website.

"My personal stance is that any organisation that keeps animals in captivity that does not consider and provide for that animal's physical, mental and emotional needs should not be keeping that animal and other solutions should be sought out," Steve Irwin's father explained.

Bindi has yet to comment, as she gears up for the September 14 debut of Dancing With the Stars.
