Leona Lewis Wants To Ride Horse On Stage. PETA Do You Hear This?

Has Leona Lewis lost it?
In a “what was she thinking” moment, it’s been discovered she wants to ride a horse as part of her routine for her concerts.
Lewis hasn’t been able to get insurance for the stunt, something that’s preventing her from doing the cowgirl thing while singing “Bleeding Love.”
A source told the UK Daily Star:
“Health-and-safety officials wouldn’t let her ride in the studio without a helmet. A load of lawyers tried to fine-tune the idea, but Leona didn’t want to wear a hard hat. In the end, she had to sign a contract saying she wouldn’t be insured, should she fall off.”
Not only is her safety in jeopardy, but horses and any other animals aren’t fit for the stage full of loud noises, lights and other unpredictable stimuli from the crowd. Animals don’t belong in the entertainment industry, especially in this capacity. It’s a surprise that the vegetarian Leona, who’s a big supporter of animal rights and won’t wear fur or leather, is even considering this.

This story has been confirmed as a total invention by both her tour director and manager.
Leona has never wanted any animals on stage for pretty obvious ethical reasons given how much she supports PETA, WSPA etc
Couple that with the fact that the UK wouldn’t allow anything like that to occur and it’s pretty much common sense that the story was extremely dodgy to begin with.
