Kid Rock Hearts PeTA

At least that is the gist of this article.

Kid Rock has hit out at animal rights advocates - insisting their campaigns will never stop him from wearing fur.

The All Summer Long hitmaker is known for his love of hunting and frequently wears lavish fur coats during his performances.

Reports even suggested his refusal to give up his fur-packed wardrobe was one of the reasons his marriage to animal rights activist Pamela Anderson ended in divorce in 2006. (ed - gee ya think?????)

And the star insists he has no desire to give up his love of animal skins - warning that he's willing to "go to war" with animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

He tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "I want to go to war with PETA. My biggest extravagance is fur coats - I've got every kind of animal in my wardrobe."

The rocker also slams PETA's activism tactics - which have included throwing red paint on fur-wearing stars - and urges the group to try the same protest with him.

He adds: "I'm just willing the animal rights protesters to chuck some red paint on me.

"I understand people's problems with it but to throw paint on someone is just wrong. They do it to little Hollywood actresses who can't defend themselves."

I certainly can not argue with Kid Rock's final comments. I heard about a story where multiple PeTA protesters accost some 70 year old lady in Madison one time. Half a dozen of the surrounded her, tauting her and finally throwing red paint in her face and the front of her coat before police came in to her defense (I was too far away from the action at the time). Yet if I were to walk down the street in my gray fox jacket (usually on the arm of the 6'2" Logical Husband) they would go scurrying to the other side of the street! Brave Sir Robin ran away...

I have to admit, I have not been a huge Kid Rock fan in the past, but I just might have to re-introduce myself to his music. Anyone who shares my feelings about the terrorists at PeTA can't be all bad....
