Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has found himself in hot water after making controversial remarks about animals, prompting a fierce response from the animal rights organisation PETA.
The Black Sabbath frontman, known for his outspoken nature, made the comments during a recent interview, where he appeared to dismiss concerns over animal welfare. His words quickly drew condemnation from activists and fans alike.
PETA's Strong Reaction
PETA, a leading advocate for animal rights, did not hold back in its criticism of Osbourne. The organisation accused him of promoting outdated and harmful attitudes towards animals, calling his statements "irresponsible and damaging."
"Celebrities have a platform to influence millions, and using it to trivialise animal suffering is unacceptable," a PETA spokesperson said.
Fan Reactions Mixed
While some fans defended Osbourne, citing his long history of provocative statements, others expressed disappointment. Social media was divided, with debates raging over whether the rocker's comments were taken out of context or reflected genuine disregard for animal welfare.
Osbourne has yet to issue a public response to the backlash.
