Whoa, Ted Nugent is a hunter? He hunts animals? Nothing gets by Matt Sorum.
For some reason, the former Guns’ N’ Roses drummer dug up a photo that Nugent posted to Facebook several months ago. The Facebook caption reads: “Caeden & Poppy whackin groundhog garden terrorists! Perfect day of bow & arrow varminting!”
This Twitter user took issue with the Sorum tweet that declared Nugent a “sick individual.”
@mattsorum @TedNugent WTF Matt? Nothing wrong with hunting. I agree that trapping isn't the best way. And morally on the edge.

Here’s Sorum’s full retweet and reply via tmi.me:
“@ABeastAmI_EUSC2: @mattsorum @TedNugent WTF Matt? Nothing wrong with hunting. I agree that trapping isn’t the best way. And morally on the edge.” Keep it to yourself pal
“Keep it to yourself pal”? Ah, of course. The inevitable demand for freedom from criticism.
@mattsorum if you don't want people to reply to your tweet's, then write a PM to the person. I still think you are a awesome person 😉

Interesting how @tednugent is allowed to spout his glorification of hunting and the NRA and I’m not allowed to defend the innocent creatures he kills at leisure ?? Remember he dodged the draft?? Who’s the real man now??

Sorum’s “not allowed” to tweet whatever he wants? Who’s stopping him?

Confirmed: Officer Sorum, self-appointed Twitter cop, doesn’t get this social media thingamabob.
I’m just sick of @tednugent rubbing our noses in it. Stay up in the bush and please don’t come out and I would be happy. Social media isn’t the place for your prize kills.
Sorum has problems sticking to Twitter’s 140-character limit for his oh-so-important missives, often relying on tmi.me to collect the overflow. We’re not going to publish all of his anti-hunting tweets because it’s a really annoying use of Twitter. But here are some of those tweets followed by the full tmi.me messages:

“@genesisgareca: @mattsorum What the fuck is wrong with people?? Supporting a hunter and attacking someone who protects animals?” Like I said Angry people , sad , no honest rebuttal that makes sense
I worked with Axl Rose believe me I'm not afraid of Ted Nugent and his redneck followers.
I never said I didn't have a gun.— matt sorum (@mattsorum) July 13, 2014

So far, Nugent hasn’t felt the need to respond via social media. Maybe he’s not getting enough Scary Meat Hormones or something.

Does anyone notice the reaction of these ignorant people? I truly believe the hormones and other crap they’re eating is affecting what mind they have left.
The enlightened Sorum has been a vegetarian for “over a year.”
"@LaryRosaa: @mattsorum how long have you been a vegetarian?" Over a year
