No horseplay here: Deadmau5 slams David Guetta for horse antics

Canadian music producer and DJ Deadmau5 was furious after learning that Grammy Award-winning DJ and music producer David Guetta brought a live horse at one of his shows.

In a series of posts on Twitter, Deadmau5 accused Guetta of animal cruelty after a video emerged online showing the French DJ playing his set while the horse and some bikini-clad dancers wearing Native American headdresses were surrounded by the crowd, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The video was actually taken a few weeks ago, during the opening party of Guetta’s F**k Me I’m Famous residency at a club named Pacha in Ibiza, Spain. After watching it for the first time earlier this month, Deadmau5 tweeted: “I’m sure the horse really appreciated it. Stupid f**ks. For real, horses belong in a farm, not in a s***ty overpriced nightclub to be subjected to a s***ty overpaid DJ,” he added.

for real... horses belong on a farm, not in a shitty overpriced nightclub to be subjected to a shitty overpaid DJ. @pacha

Deadmau5 wasn’t the only one unhappy with Guetta’s horse stunt. Someone has started a petition on a community of 26 million standing together for good, demanding that Guetta be prohibited from including a live horse in his shows. The petition has been signed by more than 4,000 supporters.
