Quantcast Vegetarian StarMichael Jackson Exotic Animal Tour Not A Thriller For Animal Rights

**RESTRICTION APPLY**A huge crowd gathers to see Micheal Jackson after he watched the West End hit Oliver musical in London

Update: PETA received word that Michael Jackson DOES NOT plan to use live animals on tour. 

You’d think after the butt whipping Britney Spears took for using live animals in her “Circus” video, celebrities would learn.

Michael Jackson may be a healthy vegetarian, but his decisions on animals aren’t so healthy for the four-legged creatures.

After rumors surfaced that he’ll be featuring live, exotic animals on stage for his comeback tour, animal rights activists began growling like tigers.

A source told the UK Daily Mirror:

“He hopes to make it the most spectacular gig ever. For the jungle section, he wants to ride out on an African elephant with panthers led on gold chains. Parrots and other birds will fly behind him. If it goes to plan it will look incredible.”

But PETA doesn’t think the show will be a Thriller.

In a statement issued to WENN, the group responded:

“These exotic animals belong in Africa, not the O2 Arena among screaming fans, bright lights and stage explosions. These wild animals are deprived of everything that is natural and important to them when they are forced to perform under stressful conditions. Michael needs to learn to leave exotic animals alone.”

Elephants, panthers, and parrots, oh my. If the rumors are true about the animals on tour, Michael better be waving “bye” to those plans or face much more harsh criticism soon.
