sheffieldlady Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'd imagine there is alot of people paid by the festival/performing that do we things we don#t agree with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackmypie Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Ouch. I wonder what kind of reception they'll get when they play? Weird that this has only come up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swine_Glasto2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 They will get exactly the same reception as they would of done before it came out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's fucking nauseating to see that majestic bear shot to death by some c**t with a high powered rifle. How can it be called sport - it's not like the bear stood a chance against a high velocity bullet fired by some bastard nowhere near the bear itself. In my mind it would be great to see a protest at the festival. I'd much rather see that than a decline in the ethos of the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Oh aye, I'm all for raising awareness but I don't really think awareness is the priority for the Remove Metallica from GlastonburyFestival for their support of Bear Hunting group. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 The ideal solution? Metallica refuse their fee on the basis that the money goes towards some sort of 'Save The Bears' campaign. The festival then buy a couple of bears and let them loose on the Pyramid stage while Kasabian are doing their opening number. The Metallica fans are happy, the bears are happy and the people with nothing to watch on the Sunday night are happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 It would be fantastic if they were removed from the festival and the reason given was because glastonbury doesnt agree with bear hunting, wouldnt it? What a message that would send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Boycott the festival then. But then you would also have to boycott Coke, Mickey D's, Intel and any computer manufacturers, half of the clothes you buy, beers, wine, Unilever, Nestle, Kraft, Kelloggs, Proctor and Gamble, cigarettes, skins, Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, Apple, Ford, Google. Facebook, etc etc etc. No food, no clothes, no internet, no phones, no TV. They all (mostly!) pay huge amounts of tax which go into the coffers of the US government which in turn spends it on gun and hunting programs which now only allow people to hunt but heavily promotes it. A lot of these companies are directly or indirectly involved in mass producing hunting equipment and are heavily involved in the industry. Go onto the NRA's Twitter or Facebook page. Go onto the North American Hunting Clubs page on Facebook. Horrific. Next time you go buy a bottle of Lenor in Tesco, just remember that you are contributing to the hunting industry in America. Actually, even the most staunch vegan has heavily contributed to the murder of innocent animals around the globe. I bought bog roll yesterday and someone shot an otter in Missouri.

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Actually, I'd caution against getting involved with the cranks at PETA. Their current adverts linking dairy produce with autism are fraudulent and maybe even dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garokev Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 So every other band or artists that have ever played Glasto have ALL been anti hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Is it him? :S if not then what is the relevance of the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Bryan Ferry, Roger Daltery, Roger Waters, PJ Harvey, Eric Clapton... (Just to name a few) are all pro hunting & have all played the festival before so it's not like he's an exception to any rule. Hell, Eavis himself is pro hunting. Bunch of c**ts, the lot of them. Such is life though I'm afraid. Edited June 2, 2014 by Frankly Mr Shankly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blisterpack Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Get on board with the IDA. Or PETA. Or an organisation who has an international standing and the ear of a government. An organisation who knows how to get things done, who can onboard celebs, rich c**ts, people who can make a difference. An organisation thats being crying out for help, any help, for over 30 years. Unlike these Facebook crews and their mock outrage. Sitting on a couch and setting up a Facebook group on your iphone is completely pointless. In my opinion its actually harmful as it dilutes whats already there PETA, Greenpeace, IDA etc. Theres already multiple platforms to voice these things. But people do it instead because they want to make it clear how personally outraged they are. "Look at me, look at me I'm such a good person". If everyone is as outraged as they say, why not join up and drop a donation to the IDA? Theres the link, all you have to do is click it. Takes a mere two minutes to sign up to the mailing list. And a further two minutes to donate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Setting an outraged orang-utan on Kasabian would be fun, but I can't help but feel that a couple off full-grown grizzlies would offer slightly better entertainment.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 We've made it to the top of the food chain, lets make the most of it and not beat ourselves up. There are plenty of really good reasons to give Metallica a wide berth- this isn't one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
