2009年3月26日 - 据国外媒体报道,“流行音乐之王”迈克尔·杰克逊(Michael Jackson)在英国的演唱会还未拉开帷幕,就有传言万千。昨天,一则关于他要骑着非洲大象出场的谣言立刻就招来了一个动物保护组织协会的警告。
传言称,迈克尔·杰克逊计划在演唱会的“丛林部分”演出时骑着一头非洲大象出场。这立刻遭到了动物保护组织协会PETA(People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals)的反对。据昨天小报《每日镜报》绘声绘色的报道,计划的具体细节为:“他希望把这台演唱会做成最壮观的演唱会。在‘原始丛林’段,他想骑着一头非洲大象上台,同时前方有戴着黄金锁链的黑豹开路。鹦鹉和其它各种飞鸟在他背后飞翔。如果一切真的成功了,那将看上去非常惊人。”
对此PETA组织的一位发言人表示:“如果这些关于演出报道属实,那么杰克逊这种做法则是非常不负责任的。”
目前该组织已经对外发布了一份声明,声明中说道:“那些外国动物属于非洲,而不是属于O2体育场中的那些尖叫的乐迷、刺眼灯光以及爆炸效果的舞台。当这些动物在这样充满压力的条件下被迫登上舞台时,它们已经被剥夺了一切对它们而言最自然最重要的东西。迈克尔需要学会让这些外国动物安静地呆在一边。”而对于这样一份声明,目前杰克逊本人还没有做出回应。
当年,杰克逊在加州Neverland庄园里修建动物园时,就遭到过PETA组织的炮轰。然而当杰克逊离开Neverland并把动物转手给其它动物园和私人收藏者后,PETA又写信去求流行天王救救他曾经养过的长颈鹿。
此外,关于杰克逊要收养儿童的传言,和要乘船到达演唱会现场的传言,也都是来自小报。现在不过是山雨欲来风满楼罢了。

MICHAEL JACKSON has been urged to reconsider his plans to use a range of live animals in his forthcoming shows.
It was recently reported that the eccentric singer wanted to make his stage entrance on an elephant, as well as using tropical birds, snakes and a panther.
However, the Captive Animals' Protection Society has claimed that it is not appropriate to use animals in such a way.
In a statement, Craig Redmond, campaigns director for the group said: "Exploiting animals in this way really is a thing of the past and not something such a high profile star should be doing.
"This would be like an animal circus, a practice opposed by most people in the UK"
It recently emerged that some of the Thriller star's most iconic outfits are to be on display ahead of an auction.
The items will be exhibited to the public at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square New York this week. |
