Do Vegans/Vegeterians Hate Rockers Who Have Been Known To Kill Animals In Their Shows?!
They also hate Ted Nugent because he promotes hunting and Alice Cooper for sluaghtering pigeons during his shows.
Is this common for most vegan/vegeterians. Do you also refuse to listen to them because of their animal treatments?
Answers: I have many vegan friends who refuse to support Ozzy Osbourne because he bit the head off of a bat at one of his shows, a dove at a meeting, and has killed over 20 of his animals in a drug induced rage.

No, I refuse to listen to them because it's crappy music.
However, I wouldn't mind hearing some of Alice Cooper's early recordings again or to see some film clips of concerts from that time--he first became a star when I was in Junior High and I might enjoy the memories of that.
I could be wrong, but I'm not sure if Alice ever intentionally killed animals in his shows. There was one incident where a chicken wandered up on stage, Alice threw the chicken into the audience and they tore it to pieces. Alice later apologized and said "I'm not from the country and I didn't know chickens couldn't fly." Maybe that was just a lame excuse, but I guess I'll give him the benefit of a doubt unless I have solid evidence that he really killed animals. There were a lot of bizarre rumors about him in the 70s that turned out to not be true. For example, it was rumored that Alice Cooper used to be either Jerry Mathers (Beaver Cleaver) or Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) from the Leave It To Beaver Show.
I'm not a big Alice Cooper fan per se, but he was very popular when I was young and I thought his staged hangings and stuff were a real hoot.
Ha: I remember that rumor about Alice eating poop; then I heard the same rumor about Frank Zappa.
I think the killing animals on stage was a urban legend. I have never known anyone who went to their concerts that saw such a thing. Now, Nugent is a huge big game hunter. I know I wouldn't want to mess with him. That man is nuts! I have also heard rumors that Cooper used to eat sh*t on stage, not true.
Learn the difference between urban legend and truth.
Even omnis have issue with nugent and his CANNED hunts.
Well I don't know if those rumours are true but when it comes to people who hunt, I wouldn't 'hate' anyone for hunting, just like I wouldn't hate anyone for eating meat. I can disagree with their actions but that doesn't mean I should hate them as people.
"Hate" isn't the word to use - because Veganism is about positive living(and thinking).
Ozzy - the truth: Someone in the audience threw a rubber bat on stage. Ozzy bit the head off, knowing it wasn't real. Some people in the audience(all of which were intoxocated) thought it was real.
Ted Nugent - I'm more bothered by his political thoughts than by hunting(which is less abusive than buying from a factory farm).
I do buy from musicians that eat meat. Music is where I draw the line. I don't think my $ would have any effect anyway.
It's not good to do this if you want to have Vegi fans..
I am not a vegan, actually can't imagine living that lifestyle, but each to his/her own.
Now Ozzie did bite the head off of a bat, but he thought it was rubber. A fan threw him a bat, and Ozzie bite the head off. Ozzie then had to have rabies shots. I would think Ozzie got the worse part of that deal. Think about it, would Sharon be with Ozzie so many years if it was cruel to animals?
The rest is just urban legend. See the site below.
Duhh!! Of course I mean, how would you feel if someone bit your head off or slaughtered you or ANY of that cruel stuff(I mean you really can not blame us for having A HEART). I definetly refuse to listen to there music also.
i just think its discusting that they do it at all. if i ate meat i woldnt support them.
Of coarse they do.
Hell yeah that's horrible!!
I don't know them, how could I hate them?
thats horrible thanks for telling me- but i heard kelly osbourne is vegetarian; OMFG!!!
When it comes to vegans, hate is such a weak word in this context. Try primal repulsion, utter and complete detest or visceral abhorrence. That's how they feel about any omnivore regardless of our actions.
Edit: I'm an omni, and I can care less what Ted Nugent does in his spare time. the man's music is hater proof. He rocks, and only a dummy will say otherwise.
