Musician Deadmau5 was infuriated 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 micro-blogging website Twitter, he 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 Pacha Ibiza.

After watching it for the first time earlier this month, Deadmau5 tweeted: "I'm sure the horse really appreciated it. Stupid f**ks."

He called Guetta a "s**tty overpaid DJ" while telling him that horse shouldn't be in clubs.

"For real... horses belong on a farm, not in a s**tty overpriced nightclub to be subjected to a s**tty overpaid DJ," he added.

Deadmau5 wasn't the only one who wasn't happy with Guetta's horse stunt.

Someone has just started a petition on Care2, a community of 26 million standing together for good, demanding that the "Hey Mama" hitmaker be prohibited from including a live horse in his shows.

The petition has been signed by more than 4,000 supporters.
