Update: Michael Jackson has announced that he will not be using any live animals in his concert series at London’s O2 arena. Click here for more info.
The King of Pop has a sordid past when it comes to the way he treats animals, but we were still shocked by Michael Jackson’s reported plans to ride an African elephant and use other exotic animals during his upcoming 30-day stint at The O2 arena in London.
PETA Europe wrote a letter to The O2 to let officials there know about Michael’s sketchy track record of animal neglect. The letter included some basic information about how exotic animals actually don’t want to perform stupid tricks on a stage surrounded by screaming people, bright lights, and stage explosions.
So come on, Michael, pull a “Britney” and leave exotic animals out of your performances.
