people will find any reason won't they?

maybe i'll start a Remove Kasabian campaign with the reason being they support and take part in the manufacture of shit music

edit: not that i'm in support of or condone big game hunting, but if it wasn't this it'd just be something else

I'm not bothered about Metallica..I can't see what all the fuss is about! I don't like them but that just means I'll be somewhere else..I don't mind them headlining, but I do mind big game hunting , and exposing him is a good thing in my eyes..

Agreed. Brian Ferry is playing and also has no issues with hunting.

If people want jump on the moral high horse, theres issues closer to home to start with. The Royal family have been hunting on a big scale since the dawn of time. And they're still doing it.

Heres your very own Prince.

Same Prince Harry who was going our with Chelsy Davy whos father owned a huge game reserve and charged hunters a fortune to shoot big cats, elephants, buffalo etc.

The Royal Family only live down the road in London. Why not start there?

but I do mind big game hunting , and exposing him is a good thing in my eyes..

Theres nothing to expose. He openly talks about it.

Sure, I'm not a royalist anyway. But any raising awareness of animal rights issues works for me. There are plenty of people who deserve the exposure, but by making something topical, it gets them to look :)

Spot on.

I had no idea this metallica twat was a big game hunter, so your post was absolutely necessary. Thank you for exposing him.

It's saddening to see hunting sympathisers on a glastonbury forum. And endangered species hunting at that. Sickening.

It's not like you're going to stop hunting , but I do think there is a changing tide of awareness, and it's important to keep it going. Pro hunters on here..surprising, but there's a lot of bickering on here this year!

there's websites where fat americans can sit at their laptop and remote control a gun in south africa and kill giraffes/elephants/lions etc from the comfort of their reinforced armchairs. It's a sick world.

Isn't the hunting of things like Deer in North America pretty much necessary during certain months due to overpopulation?

"overpopulation" is caused by habit loss, caused by mans intrusion.

besides, this c**t appears to be a fan of killing bears,, not deer.

There is a difference though between organised culling ( not hat I agree with that necessarily, but in not in the USA to make an informed decision) and blood sport where real "men" take their kids out to kill beautiful creatures for fun and to feel more macho. People like the royal family who pay to go big game hunting enclosed animals in Africa. Killing for pleasure should really be an attitude we evolve away from..

Absolutely due to our intrusion unbalancing the ecosystem. Edited by acidpod23

I do agree completely with this, animals being bred in captivity purely to be hunted is disgusting and wrong. Sadly, it's a primitive attitude most are yet to evolve from.

I don't think there are any pro hunters on here?

If there are, they're nearly as bad as the moshers.

Well that's great news :). But if you agree then why shoot down my point rather than support it?!

On the moshing, I can't imagine it could be any worse than I've seen at The Prodigy..just a bit irritating!

To be fair I don't think anyone on here is sympathising. I may have made light of the situation but I'm far from a sympathiser. The point I was trying to make (albeit badly) was that this may well just be a stick to beat Metallica with? There haven't been any campaigns to remove Ferry, do the people who started the site think seeing off a bear is despicable but fox hunting is ok? I doubt it, maybe they know of Michael's thoughts on the matter?

Oh noes! Please don't bring that one up on here again, it has it's own never ending thread now.

If a brian ferry thread appears, then I will condemn him in it. Likewise if there is a royal family thread.

This is a metallica thread. so the bear murdering metallica c**t is being condemned.

I'm not shooting it down. Poor choice of words there btw!. :lol:
All I'm saying is that I didn't see an anti Prince Charles protest when he visited the farm. Hasn't his old man personally killed over 100,000 animals in his lifetime or something? Big cats, bears, deer, wild boar, game. Just for fun like. The amount of birds he has killed is absolutely staggering. Tens of thousands!
And I'm not even including Diana in that number.
His sons went hunting this year the day before appearing at an anti hunt fundraiser.
Why aren't people outside the palace protesting at that?

For me it's just that Metallica are topical, so you're speaking to more people..if I started a Bryan Ferry hunting thread, I don't think many people would look at it! :D

As for the mosh, speak to Nal, he brought it up :)
