So I guess somebody figured, hey, everybody else in the audience is going to be inebriated in some way, so why not the animals too?According to CNN, officials in Belgrade, Serbia are planning to sedate about 300 horses so that they will not be disturbed by the Rolling Stones' complaints about satisfaction when the fifty-year-old band plays Belgrade's famed Hippodrome in July. The sedative used would be diazepam (Valium), a popular drug in Serbia, and one that was used during NATO's 1999 air strikes, during which much of the adult population of Serbia was using sedatives. And as could be expected, a Serbian animal rights group called ORCA is voicing concern over the sedation of these horses, saying, "Research has shown that noise and vibrations are the strongest causes of stress to animals. Surely our big city has enough open spaces where even 150,000 people can fit in. We think the Hippodrome should be left to horses."
ORCA has also said that, if they are unable to sway the concert organizers, they will contact the band directly. Lets just hope they don't reach Keith Richards, though. He might want some diazepam. And it's kind of twisted to envy a horse.

I'm guessing that the Stones could probably use geritol and viagra more than diazepam these days.
