    I don't think I could walk on that stage and do what I do or any
    of the lads do if we couldn't be honest. If it all went bad, we
    would feel it more than anyone. I couldn't get out there and rip
    people off in any shape or form. If there's one thing I believe
    in then it's that. If you're not going to be honest in what you
    do , then you might as well f***ing give up. There's no way you
    can hide it. Why try to hide what you really are?

85.20Ted Nugent on hunting ... cross-posted without permissionANT::SLABOUNTYThe stakes are high, and so am I.Tue Apr 11 1989 20:1587
From a recent exchange of letter between Teresa L. Gibbs of the People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals, in Washington, and Ted Nugent, the rock
star.

					      November 15, 1988

Dear Mr. Nugent,

  We have received several letter from our members and your fans about a
recent article in Star magazine describing your hunt and slaughter of a
black bear.

As you point out in the article, there is no ethical difference between
killing a bear and killing a cow, pig, or chicken.  I would like to point
out that killing any animal for reasons of taste, sport, or luxury is wrong.
I am hopeful that, upon reflection, you will be eager to switch to a more
humane, healthy pastime such as hunting down and collecting wild vegetables
and fruits, hiking, or taking photographs of animals, such as bears, in
their natural habitats.

Hunting is an extremely cruel and senseless form of "recreation."  The
stress that it causes animals - the noise, the fear, and the constant chase
- is nothing less than a form of psychological torture.  Those animals who
are hunted but escape suffer from stress-related disabilities that reduce
there ability to eat properly and store the fat and energy needed to survive
the winter.  The death of animal is also devastating to his or her family,
particularly when young are involved.

Although the flesh of a dead bear does not contain high levels of hormones,
antibiotics, and pesticides that are found in the flesh of factory farm
animals, all meat does contain unhealthy levels of fat and cholesterol,
which are responsible for most cases of cancer, heart disease, hardening of
the arteries, strokes, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, and myriad other
life-threatening human illnesses.  Studies of vegetarian societies and sects
have concluded that a meatless diet not only promotes a longer life but
enhances the quality of life.  Since meat is not only unnecessary for our
survival but a major health risk as well, we cannot justify the slaughter of
animals simply for reasons of taste or sport.

I am enclosing some information that I hope you find interesting.  If you
have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contatct us.
Meanwhile, I thank you for your time and consideration.

				 Sincerely,
				 Teresa L. Gibbs



				 December 2, 1988
Dear Teresa,

I don't know how often you leave beautiful downtown D.C., but you obviously
rarely leave the pavement.  I've spent a lifetime out-of-doors with real
wildlife, and it disturbs me whenever someone makes a detrimental judgement
based on a make-believe emotional belief.

Killing animals is not wrong.  It is certainly part of the real world.  God
does it.  Mother Nature does it.  Animals do it.  And man does it.  An ounce
of common sense would show you the importance of death in the wild.  But you
obviously don't really care about the animals or you would know firsthand
the damage your fantasy would cause.  Try going snowshoeing in an area with
deer after a sever winter, and tell me how you like the mass, slow,
lingering death as an alternative to a national harvest.  You are a cruel
bunch of liars.

You are wrong about stress.  The animal world is designed for stress, man or
no man.  And sorrow to the animal's family?  You really flashed your
pathetic ignorance here.  I've seen hundreds of doe and deer beat hell out
of their fawns for a tidbit of food in the winter.  The concept of family is
ridiculous if you know that boar, bears, and male lions, more often than
not, eat their young.

In regard to the consumption of animal flesh, man does, can and will -
justifiably - utilize animal flesh for food.  Animal products are also
wonderful for clothing and many other uses.

The information you sent was not interesting.  As someone who has seen and
experienced the truth, such nonsense only disgusts me.

Come on, Teresa, get your fat ass out of the office and let me take you
along with my children and friends to the beautiful world of truth and
experience.

				    Sincerely,
				    Ted Nugent
