Another animal adoption promotional video was shot with Hilaria Baldwin and wildlife photographer Robert Irwin working together in a teasing way that parodies Hilaria’s much-publicized pet interests. The video was posted on the yogi mom’s social media accounts, where she and Robert add anecdotal remarks about Hilaria’s ever-increasing menagerie and jokingly touch on the somewhat less enthusiastic point of view of her husband, Alec Baldwin.

The conversation goes on with Hilaria stating: “I like things I have a lot of pets and I always think I should have more,” to which Irwin enthusiastically says, “I think you should have more, I have 1200 animals and…,” followed by a splash of animated animal emojis tagged for both accounts. The playful campaign occurs as Hilaria vies for the trophy in ‘Dancing With The Stars’, and Irwin keeps the family legacy of wildlife conservation alive.
The responses from followers were immediate, very approving of the notion that there are never too many animals. Irwin answered, “The more the merrier!” and Hilaria responded, “that’s what I keep telling him 😂” in clear reference to her husband being a bit more pragmatic on animal upkeep.
Several commenters could not resist bringing up that Alec Baldwin is apparently allergic, with one remarking, “He is allergic to cats so she buys 4,” while another boldly asked, “Is he allergic to the pets?” This continued juggle between Hilaria’s enthusiasm versus Alec’s restrictions has become somewhat of an inside joke among those who follow them.
To many, the collaboration seemed like a truly inspired pairing. One fan wrote, “LOVE the team-up with Robert!! 😍,” while the other commented, “Would love to see Robert and Hilaria dance together ❤️,” suggesting a future DWTS cameo appearance for the wildlife expert.
Taking however more seriously, some comments saw this as an opportunity for a real plea for animal advocacy. “You would be amazing to help with adoptions!! Rescue groups!! Love yall,” wrote one follower, acknowledging the possible avenue that the duo could follow to support animal welfare. Another one simply wrote, “The animals are my joy 😍,” which reflects mutual excitement clearly tying the fan bases of Hilaria and Robert.
The video opened up for those pragmatic conversations about pets and their care. One user suggested, “Ok if you live in the country, but not in a town. Dogs should take walks on grass and in the woods. 😍” Besides recounting his/her own experiences with numerous animals, “Ha! At one point, I had a dog, 2 cats, fish and a duck,” another commenter declared that the enthusiasm for animals Hilaria has might be far from unique.
Other comments went progressively more cheeky, with another user humorously chuckling, “She needs more of everything 😂 more kids more pets… hopefully not more husbands…;-)” – a jibe directed to Hilaria and Alec’s seven kids. One more championed, “Can’t ever have enough..nothing better❤️,” carrying forward the feeling fervently shared within the animal-loving community.

A crossroads for two distinct, but equally passionate animal-loving people-Hilaria with her menagerie of the domesticated kind, Robert with his conservation background. But their messaging on joy provided by animals struck the audience, proving one more time-All there is distance for when it comes to pets is love, laughter, and, apparently, a few more animals.
