Following Ozzy Osbourne's death, PETA praised his gentle side towards animals. They highlighted his efforts in standing against the cruel practice of declawing cats. The organization remarked on his legendary status and noted the unity of his family, as Sharon and Kelly Osbourne shared his commitment to animal protection. Despite his infamous past, including the bat incident, Osbourne later became an advocate for animal rights, maintaining humor about his reputation. PETA expressed that he will be missed by animal advocates worldwide.
Ozzy Osbourne was a legend and a provocateur, but 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.
Ozzy may have been the singer, but his wife, Sharon, and his daughter, Kelly, were of one voice when it meant protecting animals.
Later in life he reformed into a literal PETA poster child - a true animal rights hero - though he kept a sense of humor about the bat, even selling plush bat dolls with detachable heads.
Osbourne bit the head off a bat on drugs January 20th, 1982. Afterwards, he maintained that he had believed it was a rubber toy.
