Dec 9 2008Kid Rock calls out PETA
Kid Rock is daring PETA to throw red paint on his fur coats. He's ready to throw down with the animal rights group and ba widda ba da bang a dang google wookie all over their asses. Britain's Sunday Mail reports:
"I want to go to war with PETA. My biggest extravagance is fur coats -- I've got every kind of animal in my wardrobe."
The rocker also slams PETA's activism tactics -- which have included throwing red paint on fur-wearing stars -- and urges the group to try the same protest with him.
He adds: "I'm just willing the animal rights protesters to chuck some red paint on me.So, reading between the lines, Kid Rock basically just admitted he wants to slap around some insane hippie chicks. The man hates armpit hair, folks, and frankly, I'm glad someone's taking a stand. Also, maybe tell these crazies that inviting me to your apartment and then just smoking pot is not what I had in mind. (You said you had a Wii.)

i actually now have respect for kid rock. as a person, not as a songwriter. but seriously, fuck peta and their funding of militant animal liberation fronts.
7. olivia - December 9, 2008 10:10 AM
fuck that. maybe PETA doesn't go about things in the right way but why does killing animals make kid rock suddenly respectable? he is a white trash fucking slob.
8. Massa' - December 9, 2008 10:11 AM
At least there's one famous Hollywood type that isn't falling for all that Cumbaya bullshit. Animals were put on Earth by God for man to use at his disposal. Just like God put Jungle Bunny's on Earth for man to use as slave labor. So what's next Peta, are we gonna give chicken's and cows social security numbers, apartments, welfare checks, food stamps, and voting rights now too? We've seen what happens when you give stupid animals human rights....
9. Jade - December 9, 2008 10:12 AM
I like that he says what he means and isn't trying to score points with the 'popular' crowd.. i.e. the stupid people who make stands for stupid things without thinking the topic through.
There aren't many actors that will stand up and make a statement they feel is true when it goes against the grain, thus putting a target on them from all the 'popular' crowd.
10. Yank and wank they rhyme for a reason - December 9, 2008 10:12 AM
How fucking lame, he's just trying to get some reaction because his ex wife is heavily in to supporting Peta - YAWN. Anally electrocute him and slit his throat I reckon. see how he likes that the ugly fucked up American has been turdpile.
11. Yank and wank they rhyme for a reason - December 9, 2008 10:15 AM

13. Bickus Dickus - December 9, 2008 10:16 AM
I don't think we kill enough animals. Look at the overpopulation of deer, wild turkeys, etc.... And there's currently 30-40 million cats & dogs domesticated and homeless living in animal shelters costing billions of taxpayer dollars. I say we use this surplus of cats and dogs and dead deer on the highway to feed all the people on welfare. Fuck having taxpayers paying for their foodstamps, if they wanna eat something better they can get jobs like the rest of us.
14. poser - December 9, 2008 10:17 AM
The only reason why this punk (and I do mean punk) is challenging PETA is because of Pamela Anderson's connection to it. I'd like to challenge him to a little street fight, just to show the world what kind of a pussy he really is.
And, if a PETA member did throw paint on him, the only thing this loser would do is to punch yet another woman in the face, and then run behind his security team before she could whip his ass.
This guy is a joke. God I hope he reads this! Maybe it will be a good Christmas afterall!
15. Jade - December 9, 2008 10:19 AM
Aww Yank..
Sorry if you got mad. Maybe you are one of those stupid popular crowd people who thinks it is ok to physically assault others and ruin their property all in the name of stupidity.
16. PETARULES - December 9, 2008 10:20 AM
I SOOOOOOO HOPE PETA THROWS RED PAINT ON HIS ASS NOW. I guess he didn't learn from Bush's mistake of saying "bring it on." Next week you will see him crying like a little bitch because Peta threw red paint all over his fur.
17. ASHERS! - December 9, 2008 10:20 AM
nothing is sexier than a man willing to wear dead animals to spite his ex.
and by "nothing" I mean "everything.
trashhhhhhhhhhyyyy
18. MN - December 9, 2008 10:21 AM
I am an animal lover, but I hate these PETArds that make the rest of us look bad. I eat meat, I wear leather boots. Not into fur, but if I were, wearing a sixty year old mink stole that belonged to my grandmother is no one's business but my own.
Fact is, PETA kills perfectly adoptable animals and dumps them behind grocery stores. They are hypocritical, domestic terrorists who don't love animals so much as they hate their own species.
I hope Kid punches one of those idiots in the mouth. It's about time celebrities stopped pandering to these assholes.
19. Person - December 9, 2008 10:26 AM
I would also like to see PETA throw paint on his furs.

Not a big fan of PETA's methods but I think what they stand for is important. Kid Rock is an idiot who is basically saying he supports the killing of animals to make him a fucking coat. Real upstanding. Figures because the guy is so damn deep. I watched some of those videos of animals being skinned alive in China and holy shit it was wrenching. They should peel that fuck head's skin off and see how he likes it.

PETA is a bunch of misguided ugly women who are mad at the world, similar to feminism.
As much as I hate Kid Rock, I would pay money to see him bunch one of these directionless cunts in their fat heads.

PETA needs to get over themselves honestly seems they only have that kind of power here in the US (unless you know otherwise) , If I owned a fur coat and some hippe threw red paint on me - I would call it assault, call the cops and have thier dope smoking asses in jail plain and simple.

41. Anna - December 9, 2008 11:03 AM
Actually, if anyone really knew PETA, they dont throw red paint on anyone.
In any belief, this one being animal rights, you are going to have those crazies that do things like that, and PETA cant control all the public members that they have. But their director just stated publicly that they do NOT condone anyone doing this sort of thing to anyone. They'd rather give someone a flyer and let them know how much pain their coat has caused.
They DO however spray blood on themselves at public demonstrations to get attention.
I agree thou, this guy is a loser and is just doing this cause his ex is a PETA spokesperson!
42. Tofu - December 9, 2008 11:04 AM
He is just being a heartless and self absorbed rock star because Pam is a PETA advocate. Seriously people, animals need their fur more than people. We do not live in primitive times and do not need to hunt and kill animals for warmth. I admit there are some over zealous PETA members, but the bottom line is PETA is a great organization.
43. CorNEILiuZ - December 9, 2008 11:05 AM
I don't think PETA should throw red paint at him, I think somebody (preferablyme) should hurl an anvil or a tank or perhaps a fossilizde donkey scrotum at him. Rock n roll Jesus? More like self rightous arrogant tosspile
44. gogo - December 9, 2008 11:06 AM
Peta should be called out on the act of publicly humiliating people and since no reasonable person will do it, do you really think some goofball such as Kid Rock wouldn't eventually step up to the plate? Sometimes they are the only ones to show courage no matter how arguably misled it might seem to us less courageous. maybe we'd all be happier if we thought less ((and did more)) but not so little that our brain shrivels up like a racist blog commentator as evidenced above.
45. Dirk the Magnanomous - December 9, 2008 11:07 AM
I'm not a big fan of Kid Rocks, but he definitely ROCKS on this one!!!!!!
PETA is a bunch of terrorist idiots. Every time they ruin a fur, the person with the fur just goes and buys another one. PETA probably does more to keep the fur industry in business than the fashion industry does.
Animals have fed us and kept us warm for thousands of years.
Kid Rock rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
46. snot - December 9, 2008 11:08 AM

To all the haters and PETA - Why stop at Fur? What about leather, cosmetics and a so on. So before you hypocrites start opening your stink holes, just think for a second. There’s nothing I like better than a PETA advocate who wears leather shoes, make up and eats meat. I hope you all drown in your own bullshit. As for Kid…. Keep kissing strippers on the mouth…We’d expect nothing less!
50. Oh Spare Me - December 9, 2008 11:15 AM
He's proud to have "every kind of animal" in his closet. He must have held onto his double-wide trailer!
Gee, you're cooool, Kid! So cool to have dead, slaughtered, tortured animals in your closet. Wow.. you've REALLY made the big time now! Let's see how tough you are without your paid guards protecting your rail-thin white trash ass!
51. havoc - December 9, 2008 11:17 AM
Animals don't have any rights. They don't have feelings either which is why its not important what method you use to kill them.
PETA know this.

52. Nugaloopagus - December 9, 2008 11:19 AM
Kid just might be the last real man alive. If God did not want us to eat animals, he would not of made them out of meat!
Go Kid, Go Kid!
53. Rob - December 9, 2008 11:23 AM
There's a lot of brave internet heroes on here today. Kid Rock would probably kick most of your asses if you were even brave enough to walk away from the internet for a moment.
Also saying "and I mean it" after your comments makes you either retarded or a douche, you decide..
PETA is an organization run by "kids" that have nothing better to do. I'll be roasting up some meat tonight in your honor.

I hope PETA does throw paint on his fur, and then on the way home he gets in a car crash.
57. Rob - December 9, 2008 11:33 AM
@55 when will people learn to not make animals equal to men?
Also when will people realize if you throw things at people to protest you will probably get your ass kicked. Don't believe me? go up to the biggest person you can find and assault them (that's what throwing paint is), do they have that right?
58. havoc - December 9, 2008 11:35 AM

I didnt say anything bad about animals, you dumb hippy.
61. Ghandi - December 9, 2008 11:46 AM
When will all people have compassion for animals? People do not realize or care about the torture animals go through for their fur and are basically skinned alive. People don't care or realize that factory farms are cruel to animals and the government allows the factory farms to inject chemicals into the animals to fatten them up artificially and the animals live among their own feces in cramped cages. Factory farms are also allowed to feed the animals fillers like cement, newspapers, and feces.

Any truth to this?

i dont like fur, and i hate kid rock, but one thing's for sure: it's not civilized to throw paint on someone else's 20k coat.
i hope he throws cow blood all over those ugly bitches.

Kid rock is disgusting and so are all of you other IGNORANT "god put animals on this earth for us bullshit", and i guess we all stemmed from adams rib too.
the way animals in the fur trade are treated is disgusting and inhumane, skinnng them alive etc.
before you preach your "god gave me the right" crap why don't you do your research.
Kid rock is a zero talent ignorant piece of white trash garbage who would deserve every ounce of red paint on his precious carcasses.

Enjoy your dangerous chemical laced meat because the government does not care and the factory farms do not care because all they care about are profits. I hope they find a cure for the cancer you will probably get from eating contaminated meat. It should be no surprise there were many cases of Mad Cow disease. I am only 12 years old and I get it already. I am using the school library computer right now.
73. Carl - December 9, 2008 12:32 PM

Oh noes, I'm in the dark ages!
I don't think there is justice in physically assaulting someone to get a point across.
I don't think there's justice in PETA bitching about how people kill animals for other uses, and then PETA taking a bunch of homeless animals and euthanizing them and dumping their dead bodies in dumpsters or off bridges into waterways and ravines.
So continue to insult me for my beliefs, and I will continue to laugh at your absurdity.
87. God - December 9, 2008 1:29 PM

88. mother jones - December 9, 2008 1:34 PM
I agree with Kid that its totally awesome to anally electrocute animals to serve our misguided sense of fashion. Fur coats look great. Really classy. No, but seriously we should fucking scalp Kid Rock and make a wig for a not-so-picky cancer patient, and maybe give that goatee to a folically challenged nineties retro douchebag.
89. grobpilot - December 9, 2008 1:42 PM
I'd like to see PETA try their bullshit over in China. Motherfuckers would disappear, never to be heard from again. They only perform their little monkey tricks here because they have an audience that will not stand up to them. I dislike Kid Rock but I really hope he beats the living shit out of one of those fuckers.
90. nano_brontolo - December 9, 2008 1:52 PM
Is this really worth getting bent out of shape about? Do you know anyone that actively listens to Kid Rock that you'd be seen in public with?
Just like Peta is playing to an audience, so is Kid Rock. The difference is that his audience would eat human flesh if it were advertised during NASCAR.

I like kid rocks music. I used to think he was hot. I loved the biker show 'Jesse James' when him and kid rock rode all the way to copper canyon Mexico on their sexy ass choppers, but after I attended one of his concerts here in the Bay Area and was invited backstage to party (cuz I love the weed!) I was waaaay grossed out by the HUGE bowl of "syringes". not the needle type, the ones for like enemas up your ass. anyhoo, here's this bathtub sized bowl of ass syringes full of what ever drugs, X, coke, heroin I don't even want to know, to shoot up your ass cuz I guess the effect is 'stronger'? harder? or just that they like sticking stuff up their asses? The smell of ass and stupid were over powering and I just lost all affection for the dude. ick.

@100 the mucosal lining of your colon is much more effective for absorbing drugs than those in the nose, plus it doesn't burn or make your nose run. Nothing quite like an ass full of speedball, besides, of course, a vein full.

108. Big Joe - December 9, 2008 4:22 PM
For those of us American's that eat meat and hunt, it is our right to do so. If hunting were eliminated, all your precious Subaru's and electric cars would be in way more car accidents w/ deer, moose, elk etc....As it stands, there is over $4 billion a year in damages to cars, not to mention the human lives that are lost in a deer/car accidents. Who ever said it above was correct, wild animals do not have feelings or rights. You PETA fucks are nut jobs..you'd rather save a mink then a human baby...oh that's right, a human baby gets the courtesy of having it's brain sucked out and flushed down a toilet as opposed to being bred and raised for consumption.
And there is a lot of tough guys on here today...I imagine Kid Rock would pistol whip you bitches into submission.

Who cares - Kid Rock is a complete joke to any legitimate rock musician. He's a teen pop idol.
How bout another Sweet Home Alabama remake, poser.

Livestock a major threat to environment
Remedies urgently needed
29 November 2006, Rome - Which causes more greenhouse gas emissions, rearing cattle or driving cars?
Surprise!
According to a new report published by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the livestock sector generates more greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent – 18 percent – than transport. It is also a major source of land and water degradation.
Says Henning Steinfeld, Chief of FAO’s Livestock Information and Policy Branch and senior author of the report: “Livestock are one of the most significant contributors to today’s most serious environmental problems. Urgent action is required to remedy the situation.”
With increased prosperity, people are consuming more meat and dairy products every year. Global meat production is projected to more than double from 229 million tonnes in 1999/2001 to 465 million tonnes in 2050, while milk output is set to climb from 580 to 1043 million tonnes.

Saw this typical PETA moron-itard going to protest something getting out out a brand new Ford Freestyle with get this LEATHER seats. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Typical PETA moron. PETA has killed over 14,400 adoptable pets in it's headquarters to date. They euthanize an average of 90% of the pets they bring in, most before they even make it back to the office. Ever heard of a PETA death van? The humane society a few blocks away averages 80% adopted in the same city.... Hmmmm...... Wake up PETArds.

He has almost every animal in a fur coat? thats disgusting, im not all PETA'd out, i dont wear fur and i prefer not to wear leather but its the best for shoes and what not,,, okay i have an awesome lambskin leather jacket that was given to me,, i know.,. shameful. there are animals here that are pretty much food/clothing but c'mon not foxes or minks or panda bears!!!! thats just wrong,,, no. maybe not wrong if they are being bred for that specific thing but when animals are going extinct cuz people want to walk around with their skin on themselves, not cool, very sad. why not wear a chicken coat or something? lloll. kid rock is gay. peace out.

Wait a minute! This guy is famous? He just put $42 worth of premium in my car and sold me a pack of Marlboro Lights at the gas station on the corner.
Ah for the bygone days of Gene Kelly and Lawrence Olivier, when male celebrities were well groomed and skankiness-free. My scalp itches just from looking at his picture. Does he ever take that nasty hat off? And if he does, does his hair come off with it?
121. Ed Castillo - December 9, 2008 6:45 PM
I've actually met Kid Rock! It was at an auction where he was selling some of his fur coats to raise money for the Boys Scouts. He's a great guy with a fun sense of humor. He really mixes those fly beats and can spit with the best of them! From time to time i like to put on the coat i purchased and pretend I'm up there in front of those lights, dancing and sweating for thousands of lustful teenage boys and girls.
KID ROCKS!!!
122. Truth doctor - December 9, 2008 7:30 PM
I love people who say "I don't like what PETA does, but I like their message". Means and ends, folks. What they do IS the message. If you want to help animals, go support your favorite non-insane organization.
...and how does throwing paint on a fur coat do anything? You basically just ruined one animal's fur, forcing the owner to buy another fur. I believe that's called "demand creation", which leads to greater supply. Good job thinking through your tactics, dipshits.
123. rob - December 9, 2008 7:36 PM
it doesn't matter what you PETA faggots say, i'll always eat animals, hopefully they don't suffer but but if they do, well oh well i don't worry about how animals feel. BTW I got a nice 8 point buck this deer season. Tasty.

What I love are the people who hate PETA, and throw around insults toward animal rights activists, but then they'd throw my ass in jail if I dared treat their precious cat or dog the way that the average animal is treated to make their dinner or make their fur.
So basically, some animals are ok to treat in a cruel manner, but I can't so much as breathe on your cat and I'm an animal abuser?
Give me a break.
128. SIN - December 9, 2008 11:15 PM
Humans have always killed animals, ate them and wore the pelts. Its what we do and I like it. Vegans evolved because they are weak willed and lousy hunters. It was eat plants or die. Now they want to tell us thats what we need to be. Screw them. Steaks are gooood!! Lined leather jackets are warm.
Would you want to wake up to tofu salad and fake, soybean based foods, or would you like Bacon, eggs, ham ,sausage and gravy? HAve the exact same Vegan meal every time or a nice variety of Beef, Pork, Chicken and Seafood?
Vegitarians and Vegans need to shut their nutrient depraved mouths and let the majority of us live in peace.
Other than when the open their retarded mouths, do we ever go on a crusade to vilify vegans and vegetarians? No. Just those fucked you imbiciles who have nothing better to do than bitch try to make our lives miserable because of a choice they made. Eat a poison mushroom and die a slow, agonizing death.
129. SIN - December 9, 2008 11:24 PM
For most of these PETA people, their idea of a meat substitue is a huge, black dildo.
Animal rights... Why. They are just animals. Nice, big and tasty animals.
Why aren't they protesting several Asian countries where it is perfectly acceptable to EAT cats and dogs and lesser apes? We don't do that here. Do you hear anything about that? NO, Why? Because it would take more than just a big mouth and thats all they got.

My uncle is a vegan bodybuilder and he looks amazingly young for forty three year old. There is a reason why so many doctors and wealthy people have educated themselves on the health benefits of vegetarianism. The middle class is always gonna be misinformed.

I know alot of people hate vegetarians they are not nice people. they don't go to heaven like i will.
134. Roxy - December 10, 2008 12:23 AM
... wow, can you say "Attention whore?" That break-up with Pam really hit him where it hurt. And Considering the shithole that's his career right now, he'd probably go to a PETA rally with a fried chicken drumstick shoved in his mouth, wildly waving his arms like "Lookit meee!" Very mature. Someone tell this "Kid" to grow up. And maybe that buying fur coats is nasty.
And to the guy who linked meat with tough... if that were true, the guys at the local McDonald's would be the toughest guys ever, and Kid Rock up there would be The Man. Uh, no. Just no. Meat does not equal tough... but calling vegans out with moronic arguments definitely makes you seem like an "internet tough guy."
135. packinwood - December 10, 2008 2:07 AM

The #1 emitter of green house gasses according to the Harvard study.... Termites. The Animal channel and the Discovery channel both ran the episode that stated it. Imagine that.
Most doctors agree that veggies are PART of a balanced diet, but you should not limit yourself to them.
Our dietician at work is a Vegan and she takes "supplements" to get her proper nutrition. We requested a MSDS, (Material Safety Data Sheet), it contains animal protien. After further inquiries, most of these suppliments do.
Hypocrites.
One question, what do we do with all of these animals if we don't consume them? Let the herds roam free? We need the animals because we have too many people. we also need them because they taste good.

Have you guys actually tasted soy turkey or soy hamburgers? Calling then nasty is going easy on them. Its just cardboard with flavoring added. Horrible.
Sirloin steal with a little A-1? Delicious.
How can fish not be classified as meat? Just wondering on that. It has a heart, guts, eyes and a nervous system. Just because it has lives in the water and not land it get lumped in a different category? If thats is so, Lets start eating Dolphins and call it what it is , Seafood.

Reading the responses really gives me an indication of the level of degenerates around. One could say that these people here aren't a fair sample of society, but here, where there are no fears of stating your real opinion, because it's 'teh intarnets' we get honest opinions.
The people who are against animal welfare are morons. You think just because a proponent of something doesn't follow through 100% then they're a a hypocrite copout? So that means just because I jaywalk, I should be fine with rape and murder. It's relative idiots. It doesn't invalidate the effort towards a good cause.
It comes down to this, is the suffering of the animal worth it? Is it proportional to your gain? It's a scientific fact that animals suffer the same pain and mental anguish as humans do, after all, we share upwards of 90% of our DNA with animals. They're really not that different from humans. So unless you're not completely self-centered you should consider. Maybe eating meat is justifiable due to the nutritional/convenience, but wearing the fur of a tortured animal that had it ripped off them, for nothing more than fashion, when fakes are available, is f*cking not justifiable.

Humane Society helps animals. PETA is a money making SCAM. Look it up...PETA inhumanely killed thousands of animals...thrown in trash, etc. They are headed by a sheister. You people should do your research before you pledge your allegiance. Let me guess, you voted for a Chicago thug.

148. MMmmm... Meat - December 10, 2008 1:23 PM
PETA is a self-aggrandizing, self-absorbed organization dedicated to nothing more than forcing it's own beliefs on others. They do no actual good to help animals in any way. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service hunters contribute roughly $5.2 billion per year in taxes, fees, and donations to fund various wildlife preservation groups and functions annually.
On the contrary, PETA (according to their own website) uses their $29 million dollar annual budget to fund media interviews, demonstrations, educational materials, and misc advertisements in print and other media. Not a DIME on actual preservation or animal welfare. Not a dime. So who are the ones who really help the animals?
PETA only cares about is self and it's agenda. The animals are a convenient and silent vehicle they can abuse to try to force you to do what they want. So, for me, when I see a request from PETA to boycott any business, I purposely and intentionally purchase from that business to show that I support them.

@ 148.
That's kind of retarded. You're saying that "media interviews, demonstrations, educational materials, and misc advertisements in print and other media" isn't beneficial to the cause? Of course it is. It's the same with global warming, money is being spent in order to educate and change their lifestyle habits, which in turn has a profound effect on reducing CO2 production. Likewise, educating people on where their products come from and the suffering caused by them can in turn make a huge difference in the market for these products.
You buying these products just to spite PETA is pathetic. You fail as a human. Congrats.
152. Sisyphus - December 10, 2008 8:52 PM

155. Alexandra - December 10, 2008 11:43 PM
151, Too bad high CO2 levels have no correlation to "global warming." Unlike "global warming," meat-industry lobbyists go out of their way to infiltrate schools and teach kids things like milk being the best source of Calcium and that complete proteins cannot come from non-animal sources. Anyways, you know the ice in the Antarctic cap is actually growing? Look at some charts.

Are people really this stupid???
# 8 ur an idiot. Animals were not put on earth to be beaten to death or close enough to death, just to be skinned alive..just so some moron can feel like he's somethin showin off his wealth. Somethin that dumb asses like you look up to. Its "cool". Maybe you and the stupid ass wearing it should watch one of those videos or watch in person how this "fashionable luxurious" fur is obtained. No, I'm not in favour of your whole idea of giving food stamps to cows, which I do understand, you was just trying to make a point..but somehow didn't...cause all you really did..was show how ridiculously moronic you are...but anyways..animals do deserve rights protecting them from cruelty. Also, for the rest of you fucks we're not talking about hunting here..nor are we talking about eating meat. It's about fur. Which only you ignorant fucks can't tell the BIG DIFFERENCE between animals killed for food and animals killed for fashion. These animals being killed for their fur are brutally killed and tortured by these barbaric monsters they beat them nearly dead against the ground or stomp on their bodies or anally/vaginally electrocute them until they can't fend for themselves then they skin them while they're still alive. They throw their bloody skinnless bodies in a pile and video tape them while they suffer till they die. Try looking at the camera when that animal looks you in the eye and tell yourself that they dont feel you peices of shit.
ok now correct me on my grammer. dumb fucks.
158. SIN - December 11, 2008 5:11 AM
We won the evolution race. The animals lost.
When a cow gets slaughtered, do you want the hide to go to waste? Same with any other animal. Be like the Indians, use every bit of the animal.
Eat it and wear the skins and fur. They are just animals. People devlop too strong a bond with them. They are to be either used or eaten. Thats all they are good for. Maybe thats what they were made for.
Why would the PETA moron ruin a fur coat? That means the person will just go out and buy ANOTHER one.
Remember, these are just animals.
Look at the word inhumane. Thats where they belong ,in human. Tasty.
You idiots think Kid Rock is nothing. How much money does he have? He owns a huge place in Michigan. Travels the world in 1st class and parties with some of the most beutiful women in the world. Just because you are jealous you trash him. He has it all.
If PETA want people to change, come up with a solid plan for change instead of being retards and just screaming at peple. Oh, wait. That takes common sense and PETA followers don't have any. Thats why they are called FOLLOWERS.

Hunt save more animals and wildlife lands every year than PETA has saved in the entire existence as a money making scam.

Yeah, animals were put on earth to CONSUME! Not to be worn by people who have another option! If these animals were used to the ultimate means(food, bones used as other things, etc.,) then that would be fine. This isn't the case. These animals are skinned alive and where does that meat go? Fucking nowhere. Kid Rock needs to go back to not saying anything except he's a hick ass rapper.
164. susanist - December 14, 2008 9:21 PM

165. susanist - December 14, 2008 9:27 PM
I am not in PETA, eat meat but seriously will take Ritchie up on his invitation. America has too many Dumbasses who equate quality life with how much money they have like the twit above talking about how animals lost. Hdid we bred so many Dumbasses? OK, so the crack dealer and other criminals with a roll of dollars should be honored because they have money?
Kid Rock is another tough talking Punk too afraid to put his angst on the line in Afghanistan or Iraq. Hey! Its not like the USA does not have wars where all these beliigerent Hummer driving hunters of bunnies and deer can't satisfy their blood lust.
Oh please lets have a Draft if only for to rid ourselves of Chickenhawk fake cowboys and cold-blooded turkey killers.
166. susanist - December 14, 2008 9:59 PM
Now lets examine how stupid Havoc is. He says that 'animals don't have any rights or feelings.' Lets deal with the feelings part because there's millions of humans who don't have any rights either.
When a dog hurts his or herself they make a high pitched sound that's very similar to 'Ouch.' Which is one of the reasons so many humans love dogs.
Here's another thing about feelings in case Havoc means something more profound than a pain reflect. When dogs have done something 'wrong' their body language shows 'embarrassment.'
Embarrassment is a complex emotion requiring a sense of Right and Wrong. The dog may have done something wrong but the fact remains there is recognition of either the act being wrong or that the humans would not approve of it.
Also, dogs being social and having hierarchies also show signs of dominance and submission.
Tell a dog to 'Get out!' and the body language again assumes something very close to embarrassment, guilt and shame.
Now I would think that zoologists have made a more indepth study to show how other animals express their feelings. My problem is that there seems to be too many dumb humans in America who have gone to school, have jobs, vote and assume they are quite intelligent but who in truth are little removed
from being Trolls of German myth.

170. Watcher - December 31, 2008 1:40 AM
While I agree that animal cruelty is wrong, PETA and Greenpeace have taken tactics and propaganda too far with taking to destruction to 'solve' the 'problem' Kind of like the 'Truth' group and their anti-smoking campaign. Smoking is bad yes but they are also taking it too far. What people need to do is tell these hippies to grow the hell up and use productive means to deal with things, not just act childish by throwing paint or blowing up SUV s (which only adds to the pollution not solving it Greenpeace retards). I applaud Kid Rock for taking a refreshing stand against these politically correct activists like PETA. I like fur too, fake fur that feels real but even so if any of those bastards ever threw red paint because they didn't check to see.. I'd be wearing their skin as a new leather coat..
171. smartypants - January 19, 2009 3:13 PM
Well, I'm not Kid Rock fan really; he's alright, but his music is just a little to banal for me. I do agree with his message though. The media has given PETA far too much attention and power. This group should be treated a little more like the radical one that it is. Instead, the media trumpets their message and gives them credibility. Whenever some celebrity is pictured wearing fur, you can bet media types in the press (and online) will mention something about PETA getting after them, as if PETA is the end all source of what people can and cannot wear. As we used to say when I was a kid, "Who died and left them boss?"
Too much of the semantics being brushed about is wrong. Sure, we're all against animal cruelty; that's not the point. The point is the defintion of what constitutes animal cruelty is different for different people, and there is no universal standard for what is and is not "cruel". Some cultures eat their food alive, just as happens in the wild every day. Is this cruel? Some people choose to wear fur from animals, whether or not they were used for food. Is this necessarily cruel? People get pets and then keep them locked up all day at home while they work. Is this cruel? PETA is not the end all resource for determining what is right and wrong. Most of the individuals that belong to this group probably have a very lopsided view of reality in the first place. We should not be taking our cues from PETA as to what is morally correct.
