Katy Perry came under fire for telling her dog to chase koalas in a promotional video for her Australian tour. She filmed a series of advertisements for Myer, an Australian department store chain, which is giving away tickets to her show. At the end of the video, Perry tells her dog: “Let’s go and chase some koalas, Nugget!”The line sparked serious backlash and has since been edited -- but not before animal rights activists reacted and slammed Perry for the statement. Claire Madden, an Australian wildlife veterinarian, criticized Perry’s comment, in statements to the Courier-Mail newspaper. “This is just absolute ignorance from Perry and Myer,” Madden told the news agency.
