Matt Sorum attacks Ted Nugent over hunting photo

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 (12Jul14).
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 (14), 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 (Jun14) wrote an open letter to his fellow musicians urging them to support a new U.S. strategy for minimising America’s role in global elephant poaching.
