Ashley Benson 'Cecil the Lion' Halloween Costume Causes Outrage (PHOTO)

Ashley Benson got a head start on Halloween this year, and she took to Instagram to ask for her fans honest opinions on her costume - and she sure got what she asked for. While this seems innocent enough, her interesting choice of costume has caused some serious outrage from angered fans.

"Help! Can't decide on my Halloween costume this year," the 25-year-old "Pretty Little Liars" star initially captioned the photo of herself in a sexy lion costume, according to E! News. "What do you guys think of this Cecil the Lion costume?"

Fans immediately started expressing their anger in the comment section as a "sexy" version of the beloved lion, who was killed this past summer by Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, seemed inappropriate. Once Benson realized the outrage she had caused, she quickly changed the caption to "this lion costume" instead of "this Cecil the Lion" costume.
