Metal Anarchy

Staind’s Aaron Lewis has been a source of controversy over the years due to his nonsensical right-wing beliefs and now he has taken things even further. The frontman is currently facing backlash after sharing a photo of 32 coyote carcasses that were arranged to say “Trump 24.” Among those who called out the musician were PETA’s senior vice president Lisa Lange, who told Billboard the following:

“How vile and pathetic that a washed-up musician, desperate for relevance, terrorized and killed animals to get a brief taste of the attention he obviously craves. Just like the dogs who share our homes, coyotes feel pain and fear and love their families, and because they’re one of the few species found in nearly every U.S. state, they’re beloved by many as America’s ‘song dog.’ PETA encourages Aaron Lewis to seek attention through some act of kindness, rather than slaughtering individuals who are simply trying to eke out an existence in an increasingly paved-over world.”
