Love Island’s farmer Will slammed by PETA for ‘exploiting animals’ on TikTok | The Sun
ANIMAL rights charity PETA has slammed a Love Island contestant claiming he “exploits” animals on his farm for TikTok.
Will Young, 23, from Buckinghamshire, is set to enter the villa on Monday for the new ITV series of Winter Love Island presented by Maya Jama.
However the animal welfare organisation has told The Sun that the hunk should be ashamed of posting TikTok dances with a seconds-old lamb to his 1.1million followers for “social media click bait”.
PETA Vice President of Programmes Elisa Allen said: "Women want a man who cares about animals, not someone who exploits them for their fleece, their flesh, or social media clickbait.
“Mr Young might want to consider that the cholesterol in meat and dairy can clog the arteries to all organs, not just the heart – and switch to a vegan diet if he wants to please his partner in the villa or later in his life."
It comes after the organisation re-shared footage of Will, which he has since deleted from his TikTok account, where hedances around a sheep giving birth before moving the newborn lamb to the music.

Re-sharing the clip from 2020 to Instagram, the organisation wrote: “This farmer is a disgusting creep!
“He’s dancing over her body as she gives birth! Then he forces the second-old baby to ‘dance’ for clout on TikTok."
Speaking to the Financial Times earlier this year, Will revealed that the video sparked "death threats" from viewers.
“It was just two hooves and a head, pull it out, job done,” he justified the video in a hit-back against the haters. "I'd never have got the camera out for a situation I wasn't in control of."

However, when the farmer is not busy tending his flock, he lives it up on his sprawling estate.
Will's family farm, which has an estimated value of £1.6M, even has a cottage that you can rent on Airbnb for just under £600 for three nights.
