PETA: 'Cruel Kid Rock Should Grow Up' - Exclusive Add to My Fav Bands List
Share

Animal rights group PETA has called for Kid Rock to “grow up and grow out of his cruel wardrobe” after he vowed to continue wearing fur.

In a recent interview, the musician claimed to have “every kind of animal” in his wardrobe.

Kid Rock, who divorced from PETA activist Pamela Anderson two years ago, also said he was prepared to "go to war" with the organisation.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) opposes the use of animal fur and skin in the clothing trade.

In a statement, the organisation exclusively told Gigwise: “Hell hath no fury like a man scorned. Though his relationship with PETA pal Pam Anderson ended years ago, Kid Rock is clearly still wearing his heart on his fur sleeve.

“Maybe one day this kid will grow up and grow out of his cruel wardrobe.”

Kid Rock frequently performs in fur coats and has spoken out in the past about his love of hunting.

In reference to PETA campaigners often drastic action against celebrities who wear fur, Rock said he was “willing the animal rights protesters to chuck red paint on me”.

"To throw paint on someone is just wrong. They do it to little Hollywood actresses who can't defend themselves,” he added.

Rock’s comments were also criticised by Gigwise readers, who said he had made a “fool of himself”.

  • PETA doesnt have a CLUE Im all for saving endangered species and baby seals but these idiots dont have a clue. Man made synthetics and plastic crap is polluting our eARTH. Mother Earth gave us Cotton, Wool, Leather and fur to wear. She gaves us protien filled animals to eat. Thank you Kid Rock for sticking up for the natural people instead of following the PC crowd like a flock of sheep. And if someone throws RED PAINT on me, They are in for a Waffle House show Down!!!

    • I totally agree, god has been giving us animals to keep us warm since the beginning of time, thank god. And the ones that are complaining about the furs are the same ones that will eat the animal for which the fur came from. GO FIGURE HYPOCRITS. GOD bless the animals.
