Singer Pink and other celebrities are furious with a Cinco de Mayo publicity stunt at the well-known Pink Taco restaurant in Century City, California.
The eatery chained a live donkey, fully painted in pink, outside in 90-degree heat for hours to encourage patrons to party at the establishment.

The donkey had the words "Pink Taco" painted on its shaved body.
Minutes after the donkey’s photo went viral, celebrities lashed out against the restaurant and took their anger to Twitter.

“Wow u couldn't just get a pinata?? @PinkTacoLA. Sick, evil, cruel people. I will never eat at one of ur restaurants again,” Pratt tweeted.
Fellow MTV star Lo Bosworth responded to Pratt’s tweet saying: “@PinkTaco that is so wrong, it makes me hurt inside.”

Back @ya, pooky. I agree on all points. Although, there are some good things about LA, miss my friends but ALOT of things I don't miss - heat, traffic, psychopaths/sociopaths, etc.. BTW, a ceiling temp of 70 degrees sounds good to me. :)

@pooky, "due to smog LA sun is probably easier on the skin"? LMFAO! Lived in LA for 8yrs, trust me, the sun is especially harsh, feel free to research that. As for Koolaid? I wouldn't give that processed, chemical swill to someone I hated.

I'm surprised Pink was able to "raise her ass" out of the chair.

i hope he is safe now, and that PETA will go after this idiotic food place
for those who appreciate animals, sign the petition at the american wild horse preservation campaign, lets save the wild ones too.
