This week, Bad Bunny started his tour Most Wanted Tour in Salt Lake City, Utahwhere He surprised everyone by going on stage riding a horsewhich generated criticism on social networks.
After the appearance of the Puerto Rican cowboy-style singer, some users on social networks, especially on X, He has been accused of animal abuse for exposing the animal to a stressful and noisy environment..
Some described the gesture as “an act of animal cruelty,” so They requested the intervention of PETA, an animal rights organization.
Following user complaints, Lisa Lange, Senior Vice President of PETA United States, offered an interview to Newsweek, in which he explained that horses are very sensitive animals and they should not be exposed to environments as noisy as a concert.
We are definitely not “ok” with this irresponsible act. Bad Bunny, do you think it’s a good idea to expose a horse to noises, lights, fog and the screams of thousands of people? The horse looks stressed and clearly DOES NOT WANT TO BE THERE.

“Horses are very skittish, and are not props to be ridden on stage among flashing lights, blaring music, and noisy crowds. Since they are easily scared, this could have ended in tragedy, all because of an absurd and thoughtless trick,” Lange said.
Although Bad Bunny’s appearance on horseback generated criticism, He also had those who defended him. Some users on networks described it as something “revolutionary” and “original.”
