An MMA fighter who shared a video of herself giving an orangutan a vape to puff on has been forced into a grovelling apology after worldwide howls of protest.
Russian martial arts star Anastasia Luchkina, 24, shared the clip on social media showing how she first drew on the e-cigarette to show the trusting ape how it was done.
Then she hands it to the caged orangutan through a wire fence and it raises the vape to its mouth and backs away as it exhales a cloud of vapour.
Luchkina keeps offering the ape, named Dana, the vape and at one point it draws so hard it sucks off the gadget's vape fluid cartridge and swallows it whole. Video: NewsX
