Kid Rock has sold millions and millions of albums, but he lost quite a few fans when a photo of him posing with a dead mountain lion surfaced online this week.
The snapshot, which was posted on fellow rocker/gun enthusiast Ted Nugent's Facebook page earlier this month, shows the two proudly showing off their kill. Nugent wrote:
"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 legal its necessary its good its beneficial its 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!"
We're not even going to get into this, but PETA did have some words on the matter. Senior International Media Director Ben Williamson said in a statement:
"It's obvious that not everyone has evolved mentally and emotionally when you see someone grinning after gunning down another living being who was busy minding his or her own business and living life. These days, only the very smallest percentage of people find it acceptable in any way to support blood sports like trophy hunting."
Per the Animal Control Damage Control Act, which was passed in 1931, it's not illegal to hunt mountain lions. Still, this is one image we could certainly do without.
