Rage-fiends are wishing death on Metallica frontman James Hetfield and his family, and this time it doesn’t have anything to do with Napster or “St. Anger.”
Hetfield was tapped to narrate “The Hunt,” the History Channel’s new eight-part series on Kodiak brown bear hunting. In addition to a campaign to boot Metallica from the Glastonbury music festival for Hetfield’s “support of big game hunting,” some geniuses say he deserves to be shot or ripped to pieces.

@allanimalrights @knowlegedgirl @officaljames_ The only thing that scum like this deserve is when the same is metered out to them.

@allanimalrights @ToveyAngela @officaljames_ A pathetic waste of oxygen, what can you possibly gain from this? Go & die a slow painful death

@allanimalrights @officaljames_ I'd pay money to have watched you fight that bear without your pathetic gun. Tearing you limb from limb ????

You know what that person needs? Encouragement from an animal rights group.
@MoniqueADyer Now come on Monique, don't hold back, say it how you mean it! @officaljames_

Only, that’s not James Hetfield on the right. It’s conservative author Doug Giles, according to the caption at his site, ClashDaily.com. There’s another photo at GameTrails.org. But try telling that to passengers aboard the latest trendy outrage-wagon:

@Noise_Merchant ….Fuck me! How much evidence do you want, the ballistics report from his bullet. Do your own research.

@Noise_Merchant …Hetfield is a self-confessed hunt fan, hunt promoter and a member of the NRA. Is this enough? http://t.co/WsERZdf9xc
