Miami nightclub shut after outrage over horse on dancefloor stunt
Video:Panic as woman rides horse in nightclub
A nightclub has been shut down after video emerged showing a scantily clad woman riding a horse inside the packed venue, before it appears to panic and throws her off.
Clubbers are heard gasping and screaming amid the chaos at the Florida club.
Miami Beach city manager Jimmy Morales said he had revoked Mokai Lounge's business licence.
Police and enforcement officers have also launched an investigation after receiving multiple complaints about the incident at the South Beach venue on Thursday.
No injuries to humans or the animal have been reported.

The venue could appeal against the decision, but so far it has not commented.
The incident has sparked outrage online with many concerned about the animal's welfare.
A petition to revoke the club's licence was set up and pulled in more than 1,000 signatures within hours.
"People go to nightclubs to have a good time, enjoy drinks with friends, dance and party. This environment is by no means a place for ANY animal or wildlife," the petition read.
The Miami Beach Police Department said it was "very concerned".
It later tweeted: "Miami Beach PD detectives along with @MiamiDadePD's animal experts have located the horse that was at Mokai. The horse has been inspected and deemed to be healthy and safe by Miami Dade PD."

In a statement on Friday, the City of Miami Beach said it was "made aware of an incident involving possible animal cruelty and a hazard to public safety".
Mr Morales said he was "disgusted and offended that any legitimate businessperson would think this was an appropriate action to take".

New post Lucrative Pop Phenomenon Ogden Payne , CONTRIBUTOR I write for, and about, the up-and-coming musician. SACRAMENTO, CA - OCTOBER 11: The Weeknd performs during his 'Starboy World Tour' at Golden 1 Center on October 11, 2017 in Sacramento, California. (Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images) The Weeknd silently graced streaming sites with his latest album My Dear Melancholy. Outside of music, he appears to be a man of few words whose identity seems to be as somber his latest album title. His career, however, is much more colorful. His accolades include a collection of Grammy Awards and a spot on the cover of FORBES, amounting to the perfect balance between art and business. But peeling back the layers to understand how exactly the Toronto native became such a worldwide phenomenon is a thought as alluring as the singer’s persona.

Drinking water is essential for life, but many rural towns in the U.S. are struggling to provide safe and reliable water to their residents. For decades, these towns have neglected their drinking water systems, resulting in aging infrastructure, water quality violations, and financial challenges. In this blog post, we will explore some of the causes and consequences of this crisis, and what can be done to address it. Causes of the Crisis One of the main causes of the crisis is the shrinking population of many rural towns. As people move to urban areas or other states, the tax base and the customer base of the water systems decline. This means less revenue to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the water systems. According to a report by the American Bar Association³, in 2015, 9 percent of all water systems had a documented violation of water quality standards, exposing 21 million people to unhealthy drinking water. These violations were more likely to occur in...
