Former Guns N’ Roses star Matt Sorum has taken aim at fellow rocker Ted Nugent for
his pro-hunting remarks.
Animal lover Sorum took offence to a photo he spotted of smiling Nugent standing next to a pre-teen boy who had just killed a groundhog, and took to Twitter.com to lash out at the Cat Scratch Fever hitmaker over the weekend.
The drummer wrote, “Hey @tednugent u are a sick individual, u are smiling too much for killing this animal. Something wrong w u (with you), poor kid.”
Nugent has made a name for himself protecting the rights of hunters, insisting they are vital to manage wildlife.
In an interview earlier this year, he attacked animal-rights activists opposed to hunting and killing, calling them “numb-nuts”.
Sorum is currently spearheading the International Fund For Animal Welfare’s campaign for elephant conservation, and last month wrote an open letter to his fellow musicians urging them to support a new U.S. strategy for minimizing America’s role in global elephant poaching.

Thanks Maureen, I’m glad he’s on our side.
Have you seen the Chevy Commercial with the hunter and his bow/arrow? Rest assured I will never buy a Chevy if they are going to use HUNTERS as a means to sell trucks.
