Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, passed away at 76 surrounded by family. His death sparked tributes from music icons and organizations like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta). Osbourne was recognized for his provocative career and also for his advocacy work for animals, especially against the declawing of cats. He collaborated with Peta, using his platform to raise awareness about the issues surrounding animal welfare, notably through a campaign speaking out against the mutilation of cats for aesthetic purposes. Osbourne will be remembered for both his music and his compassionate side towards animals.
Ozzy may have been the singer, but his wife, Sharon, and his daughter, Kelly, were of one voice when it meant protecting animals.
In 2020, Osbourne partnered with Peta to speak out against the declawing of cats, lending his image to an ad campaign with the tagline, 'It's an amputation. Not a manicure.'
Amputating a cat's toes is twisted and wrong. If your couch is more important to you than your cat's health and happiness, you don't deserve to have an animal!
Peta will remember the Prince of Darkness' most fondly for the gentle side he showed to animals, most recently cats, by using his fame to decry painful, crippling declawing mutilations.
