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".

Mushroom Soup Yield : 4 servings Time: 30 minutes If the word “mushroom” conjures for you white buttons in little supermarket tubs, you’re not alone. But there is a big world of mushrooms out there, and you don’t have to be a forager to live in it. Wild mushrooms can be found in spring, summer and fall, but farmed mushrooms, grown mostly in the dark, are always around and a little easier to find than the ones hiding in the woods. So are dried mushrooms, which may be domesticated or truly wild and which are among the most flavorful ingredients you can keep in your pantry. This lovely soup is made with a combination of dried and fresh. It's delightfully simple – it comes together in about a half hour – which allows the complex flavors of the mushrooms to really shine through. INGREDIENTS 2 to 3 ounces dried mushrooms (like cremini, morel; whatever you like) ½ stick butter 1 sprig fresh thyme or rosemary 1 large yellow onion or 3 or 4 shallots, chopped 1 ...
ShockIng News as Doomsday Clock reveals how close Humanity is to the Doom The Doomsday Clock has been ticking for precisely 75 years. In any case, it's no normal clock. It endeavors to check how close mankind is to annihilating the world. On Thursday, the clock was set at 100 seconds until late - - a similar time it has been starting around 2020. The clock isn't intended to conclusively gauge existential dangers, yet rather to ignite discussions about troublesome logical points, for example, environmental change, as per the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which made the clock in 1947. "100 seconds to 12 PM mirrors the Board's judgment that we are caught in a hazardous second - - one that brings neither solidness nor security. Positive improvements in 2021 neglected to balance negative, long haul patterns," said Sharon Squassoni, co-seat of the Bulletin's Science and Security Board, which sets the clock. Squasson is additionally an exploration educator at the...
