Geezer Doesn’t Like Palin Either

Geezer Butler issued the following statement at his official website:

Thank you all who came to see the Metal Masters tour. It was a pleasure touring with such great bands and friends – Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Testament, and their respective crews. It was great meeting everyone who came to the meet and greets after the shows.

Now back to reality.  As you may know from my web-site and lyrics, I am pro all life, not just unborn fetuses. I don’t understand people who say they are pro-life, but then support unnecessary wars and the disgusting slaughter of animals for sport.

I respect people’s freedom of religion, but I absolutely abhor hypocrites.  Which brings me to this horrific video of cowardly bastards in airplanes, shooting wolves for so called “sport”, and the hypocritical politician [she's supposed to be pro-life, remember], who allows this cowardly act to take place in her state.  I know lots of people who hunt, and I enjoy shooting at my local gun range, but I don’t know, nor would I want to know, anyone who gets pleasure from this disgraceful behavior.  God/Nature has created a beautiful earth, and populated it with beautiful creatures, and i believe that all life is miraculous.  Why do politicians [royals included] enjoy killing so much, and treating those miracles with such contempt?

Love and peace,
Geezer.

As far as abortion goes, I’m pro-choice. As far as cruelty to animals, I completely agree with him. I grew up in a family of 5 in a small town during tough times. My father hunted and trapped. Anything that my father or brother killed we always put to some use. Most of the time it was Deer or the occasional black bear that was killed for meat and the animals that were trapped were sold for fur. I never got into the hunting thing and I never liked the ones that did it to stroke their ego. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support PETA 1 or 2. With that said, there is an ecological balance of nature that sometimes has to be evened out due to the fact that we, humans, screwed it up somehow. So then we have to go and play population control. It’s not a pretty game but sometimes it has to be done…but not the way it’s done in the video.
