Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has found himself at the centre of controversy yet again, this time over a shocking tribute to his infamous bat-biting incident. The stunt, which reportedly involved a live dove being bitten, has drawn fierce criticism from animal rights group PETA.
PETA's Fiery Response
The animal welfare organisation didn't mince words, calling the incident "cruel" and "completely unacceptable." A PETA spokesperson stated: "Using live animals as props for shock value belongs in the Dark Ages, not in today's society."
A History of Controversy
This isn't the first time Osbourne's animal-related antics have made headlines. The Black Sabbath frontman famously bit the head off a bat during a 1982 concert in Iowa - an incident he later claimed he thought was fake.
The latest controversy has sparked debate among fans:
- Some defend it as "classic Ozzy" behaviour
- Others agree with PETA's stance on animal welfare
- Many question why such stunts are still happening in 2023
The Dove Incident Details
While full details remain unclear, sources suggest the dove was unharmed in the recent incident. However, PETA argues that even the suggestion of animal cruelty for entertainment purposes is damaging.
As the story develops, animal rights activists are calling for greater accountability in the entertainment industry regarding the treatment of animals in performances and stunts.
