Kid Rock has done it again. The Devil Without a Cause singer has angered animal lovers by posing with fellow right-wing rocker Ted Nugent alongside a dead cougar, which they presumably killed while hunting.
Kid Rock Angers Some Fans With Hunting Photo Featuring Dead Cougar
Kid Rock, recently said he doesnt Face Tweet, but there is a photo of him on his official Facebook page holding a bow with Nugent, who is armed with a clutch of arrows. The caption reads, Its hunting season.
The controversial photo was posted on Nugents page on Jan. 3, along with screed:
"And what a grand conservation New Year it is! HAIL my MotorCity boy KidRock for saving all those muledeer elk & livestock by whacking this magnificent mountain lion. I can hear the braindead squawkers already with their obscene denial that killing lions is wrong. Its [sic] legal its [sic] necessary its [sic] good its [sic] beneficial its [sic] a damn riot! And these lovely pigwhackers did same on the TX swine while young Rachael Byrd arrowed this fine Oryx with the Bruce Cull tribe! Praise the mighty life giving renewable protein/sport/trophy/FUN! 2015 be good good year so far!"
Nugent, whos been on the board of the National Rifle Association since 1995, frequently posts hunting photos with dead animals on Facebook, but even some visitors to his page are questioning the move and Kid Rock.
Tracey Matthews writes, I always thought that Ted Nugent believes in only hunting what he can eat? Nobody eats mountain lions. I get the protecting but thats the circle of life. Mountain lions need to eat to survive too! They dont need to be killed! Not happy with Kid Rock!

Somehow the world turned before illiterate idiots with too much money and too little to do made a sport of killing apex predators.
And, incidentally, he's wrong. It isn't necessary. Study after study shows the presence of apex predators has broad-reaching balancing effects miles down the food chain. Having them around keeps the muledeer and the bull elk from destroying your fucking ecosystem.

(4,571 posts)9. 'quite the following' - third-rate. i'd bet they;re making more off their investments than their
music. at least nugent is.

(9,951 posts)10. Maybe Nugent is, but Kid Rock continually sells out his concerts. eom
ND-Dem
(4,571 posts)11. and i'll bet he has a lot of investments.
GGJohn
(9,951 posts)13. Of course he does, he's a pretty smart and savvy businessman.
Just about every celebrity has investments, hell, I'm not a celebrity and I have investments.
ND-Dem
(4,571 posts)14. and i'll bet he makes on them in the ballpark of what he makes on concerts
he's a third rate musician and upper middle class privileged kid
As far as being a 3rd rate musician? There are millions upon millions of fans worldwide that would disagree with you.

Watch the Grammy Awards this year. You'll see.
