Pink was NOT feeling the pink horses she spotted on the beach in Malibu yesterday so she took to Twitter to alert local animal activists about a music video being shot at Leo Carrillo state beach.
Pink didn't know it until Selena fans Tweeted back, that it was a music video for the Disney star. Pink replied to Gomez's fans, saying: "Artists should be more aware responsible for their actions." And later: "whether u r a fan of mine or whomEVER's, i won't stop speaking out about animal cruelty. i've taken responsibility in the past, so should she."
Meanwhile, Selena's rep said: "It was important to the Production Company, Record Label and Ms. Gomez that no animals were harmed and all proper precautions were taken. A non toxic, vegetable based powder paint was applied via an airbrush and removed with water. An official from the Humane Society was on set supervising."
PETA disagreed with the production company's claims the dye was safe for the animals, saying in a statement: "There are no safe ways to paint a live horse or any animal; they can have painful allergic reactions to chemicals and there’s no way to know how an individual animal will react. Also, subjecting skittish animals like horses to extended periods of restraint and spraying is stressful and frightening."
Wouldn't white horses have been just as pretty?
