To:

We the undersigned, in responce to a seperate petition, argue that Ted Nugent lives the American Dream. He uses what he hunts, respects the community and nature and does not intentionally prolong the sufferieng of any animal intentionally.

Ted does many things to educate about the proper ways of using nature and what God has given us. He teaches how to live of the land, instead of in a supermarket. He defends the constitution as a whole, doesn't pick and choose what parts he wants and throw the rest out. He is in many peoples eyes the quintesential American.

"Surviving Nugent" was a top rated show for VH1 and we urge you to keep airing the show and develop another season. It is entertaining, educational and inspiring. Watching the show it becomes very clear that he loves nature and animals and more importantly respects both. Mr. Nugent is somebody who should be held up as a role model, he lives the American Dream and continues to inspire people, young and old, on a daily basis.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

[Stopislamnow]

The original petition by PETA.

To: VH1


This petition will be forwarded to VH1, to let them know that we will not give up until the barbaric, cruel and evil ignorant that is Ted Nugent, is taken off the air.

VH1 regularly airs the ‘Ted Nugent’ show in which animals are brutally and callously slaughtered, all in the name of ‘entertainment’. In a time when we call ourselves ‘civilised’ and ‘intelligent’ beings, it is a travesty that such acts can be accepted.
Ted Nugent publicly boasts of his torture, slaughter, cruelty, and violation of animal life. He publicly takes sadistic pleasure in the extreme suffering of others. The world needs less people like this. For VH1 to show such horrific and barbaric scenes is unacceptable.

These are quotes from Ted Nugent himself:

"unethical," says Mr. Caires, who was angered after he took Nugent out on a hunt in April. "He shoots at anything," Mr. Cairnes claims. "You should kill what you can use. He just likes to kill a lot of animals." (Cairnes is a hunting guide who takes people out to stab wild pigs in Hawaii) - The Wall Street Journal , July 25, 1995, 'Why Sit on the Beach When You Could Stab a Wild Pig?

"... First thing I slayed...I was nine years old. It was a squirrel, these ladies were feeding it, you know, and I said, 'excuse me, bam.' No it wasn't a pet squirrel. I had it stuffed and petted it for years after that." - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., September 26, 1991

Whacking is a term Nugent uses to describe what he does to his prey with bow and arrow. Whack 'em and stack 'em,' he says. - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990

Participants pay the Renegade Ranch (a fenced in, 300-acre canned hunting recreation area) for the animals they kill - anywhere from $500 for a wild boar to $5,500 for a six-point elk. Nugent tacks on a $250 fee for serving as celebrity guide. - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990

"I don't hunt for sport, I don't hunt for recreation, I don't hunt for meat, I hunt to hunt ..." - Detroit Free Press , p. 12D, April 17, 1989

Ted Nugent's Down to Earth, promises raw, unedited footage of America's no. 1 rock 'n' roll bowhunter as he whacks 'em and stacks 'em. Nor was it hyperbole. In the first 10 minutes, viewers got bird's-eye of broadheads fatally piercing such fearsome creatures as an armadillo, a squirrel perched in a tree, some pigs and a goat. 'I love that part,' said the glinty-eyed Nugent after running death scenes in sequence. 'Let's see it again.' And the appalling whack 'em and stack 'em compendium ran all over in slow-motion replay. - The Washington Post , Recreation Section, September 23, 1990

Nobody hunts just to put meat on the table because it's too expensive, time consuming and extremely inconsistent. - Ted Nugent's World Bowhunters Magazine , Volume 1/ Number 3, March/April 1990, p.7

"On my first bowhunt on the property a few years back, I was on my own for twenty-two days and killed an amazing thirty-three head of big game. I'm surprised I even came home. I was in heaven." - Ted Nugent's World Bowhunters Magazine , Volume 1/ Number 3, March/April 1990, p.15

"... My deer were put here on the earth. God even said, 'Hey Ted, whack 'em.' He said this, right in the bible, Genesis, 'Dear Ted, whack me a buck ...'" - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., Sept. 24, 1991

"I contribute to the dead of winter and the moans of silence, blood trails are music to my ears ... I'm a gut pile addict ... The pig didn't know I was there ... it's my kick ... I love shafting animals ... it's rock 'n' roll power." - Ted Nugent's World Bowhunters Magazine , Volume 1/Number 4, May 1990, p.12

ON SKULL PAINTING

"The first thing I do is be sure to cut the entire head off the animal I wish to bleach and/or paint Most butchers saw the skull plate off at the base of the antlers, thus eliminating the major skull section that we desire. Since I butcher most of my own deer and big game, I take special pride in the personal handling of all the precious by-products of my kills. I cut the head off at the base of the skull and begin the meticulous task of skinning and fleshing the entire skull down to the minimal meat and bare bone. I will actually scrape the remaining flesh from the skull bone with the edge of my knife blade, but stop short of taking any actual skull material. ... Hunt on. Kill on. Eat on. Paint on. Live on."


We need to let VH1 know that we will not tolerate such evil, and that we do not wish them to allow Ted Nugent to brainwash our children with his Neanderthal-like primitive sadism.

Signed and bumped. It was a great show, should have been longer with more torture of the monkeys.

Signed, salted and cured!

I'm not familiar with the reference.

Ted should shoot the PETA mutants and eat them. LOL
That does it- this year, we'll not only kill two dear, we'll ask some old hunting friends to join us. (We collect horns. We have them mounted).
Otherwise, we haven't hunted for years. PETA has brought us back to life.
Looks like we'll be having butchered chicken again tonight, too. Everytime I read a PETA NAZI thread, it's kill a chicken dinner night.

Will not toletate? Who they hell do they think they are?
They'd prefer the children learn to graze in a field like PETAs mutants? Get real!!

Go Atkins.

[concerned about politics]

It was a great show,

VH1 is not exactly our cup of tea, and have always surfed right past it. When we saw Ted was on , we actually watched it. I let my kids watch it, too (They're never, ever allowed to watch that station).
The most distateful part of the show was the cry baby weenie liberals who couldn't handle real life!!

Did Barbara Streisand write this?

I didn't see Ted kill any humans. Did you?

[grumple]

Isn't VH1 owned by Viacom, owners of CBS ?

Ahh...the feigned controversy to draw attention to a show.

Shut up PETA

[discostu]

VH1 has some pretty interesting shows that I dig, but even with those 90% of their stuff is pathetic drivel (I admit I'm horribly addicted to their "100 Best..." shows).

The cry baby liberals wound up being the best part of the show because then either Ted or Big Jim would totally make fun of them. I just about fell out of my chair when miss animal rights activist wouldn't get her clothes wet to save the geese (does anybody doubt Ted would have killed the geese just to prove a point?), told us everything we needed to know about her. She's all about inconveniencing others to save animals but for God's sake don't get her pradas wet.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I didn't see Ted kill any humans. Did you?

You wonder how these people can keep a straight face when they write this stuff.

[Tiki_Bar]

To:
We at PETA prefer our kills to be limited to the 1st. 2nd. and 3rd. tri-mesters of the "fetuses" life.

In addition, we advocate the killing of our elderly, and those who can't feed themselves.

Finally, we believe in destruction of private property and releasing all sorts of critters into their non-native enviroment to starve to death when they can't find their natural food sources.

Time for a granola break...
