Bayern Munich forward, Thomas Muller, has been accused of allowing horses to own to engage in “unnatural sexual acts” by the animal rights organisation PETA.
Muller and wife, Lisa Trede, run horse farm in Germany, which they in part use to sell horse semen. Trede has an equestrian background and competes in events as well as training the animals, but PETA have now questioned the couple’s practices after one of the horses in their care suffered an injury.
“Unfortunately, we have bad news,” Muller said in a statement last week. “Our [horse] D’Avie will not be available in the next few months. Unfortunately, he slipped during a test attempt to prepare for breeding season and fell dramatically on his side. He sustained an injury to the hoof area and will need complete rest for the next few months. He’s a tough guy, and he could have been worse.”
In response a German PETA spokesperson, Jana Hoger, lambasted Muller and Trede said that the horse’s injuries were “preventable.”
“It is horrible that self-proclaimed horse lovers force animals in their care to perform unnatural sexual acts to profit from it,” she said. “The injuries D’Avie suffered under the supervision of Lisa and Thomas Müller were preventable and unnecessary.”
