Bad Bunny’s got animal rights activists up in arms for a stunt during his new show … and PETA’s not horsin’ around in their response.
ICYMI … singer-songwriter kicked off his “Most Wanted” tour in Salt Lake City Wednesday night, and at one point he trotted out in style — on the back of a horse.

Check out the video … BB’s in an all-denim ‘fit on the back of a chestnut-colored horse heading out to the spotlight with tons of fans screaming for him.
PETA wasn’t cheering Bad Bunny on though, posting the video to TikTok with a sharp condemnation attached in white lettering.
Their main point … horses are skittish animals who have no business being near the loud noise and bright lights of a concert setting, and adding the horse, the crowd or even Bad Bunny himself coulda been hurt.
If all this feels vaguely familiar … it’s ’cause PETA’s called out other artists for this exact same thing before. Notably, CeeLo Green, who fell off a horse last year.

Remember … Green wanted to make an impact with his entrance to Shawty Lo’s birthday party last April. The horse was clearly nervous at the time, jolted forward then slipped on the tile floor, spilling CeeLo from its back.
PETA told us at the time the fall was essentially inevitable … for all the same reasons they think BB shouldn’t have been on a horse. Loud noises and flashing lights and horses just don’t mix.

Unclear if this horse stunt was a one-off … but, PETA’s not likely to back off if this cowboy keeps mosying out centerstage.
