Maybe the PETA folks think any publicity is good publicity but taking on the quick-witted Blake Shelton in a war of words on Twitter isn’t the kind of publicity they want.
Things started off nicely enough: “Hello @peta2…. Allow me to introduce myself… My name is Blake Shelton. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship!!!
They certainly established a relationship, but not a beautiful one. In the dozens of tweets, PETA extremist position has made them look foolish, and Shelton looks foolish too — but doesn’t care. In fact, he tweeted: Y’all know of any other tree huggin, bunny lovin groups I can p— off?
Then when PETA allegedly banned Shelton he tweeted: As it turns out I’m really all they have.. Ha! What a bunch of dips—s!
Here are a few of the exchanges:
PETA: Thanks 4 spreadin’ the word, animal testing breaks hearts!
SHELTON: So does a 30-06 at 150 yards!!!
PETA: 10 simple things u can do 2 make ur yard more appealing 2 wildlife
SHELTON: Thanks!!! Any tips on cooking them after I blast’em?
PETA: What’s ur favorite dumb comment?
SHELTON: It’s really not a comment it’s a word… It’s spelled PETA….
PETA: Only animals should wear fur!
SHELTON: Yeah, but they hide all the meat under there!!
PETAL: There’s nothing funny about BBQing cats.
SHELTON: Ha! Ha! Sorry but when you say it like that it is damn funny! Ha!
PETA: Meat is Murder!
SHELTON: Yes, delicious murder….
PETA: Fish are our friends not our food. Sea Kittens have feelings too
SHELTON: Now I have a craving for fried catfish….
PETA: Impaling fish with hooks = cruelty.
SHELTON: Enduring that stupid comment = cruelty:
PETA We don’t believe in hunting, anyone or anything
SHELTON: Me either!! That’s why I use bait to make deer come to me!!
But a comment slamming the military did seem to strike a nerve with Shelton and he tweeted: Dear PETA.. Picking on our U.S. Military now? You’ve reached a new level of dips—ness!. Go back to fast food and sex with gerbels…
PETA: Feeling like a beached whale this summer?
SHELTON: More like a clubbed seal….
And speaking of whales, PETA’s billboard illustration of an obese white woman at the beach that said, “Save the Whales, Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian,” drew some angry protests.
For the record, becoming a vegetarian does not guarantee that you’ll be thin. You can still make really bad food choices and refuse to exercise and be not only overweight but pretty darn unhealthy, too. Many people who are vegetarians also take very good care of themselves and practice a healthy lifestyle, which may make folks assume that they’re thin because of what they eat. They’re not. They’re thin because they practice an all-around healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise and good food choices.
But Shelton is no fool and he knows he won’t lose any fans because he decided to take PETA on. In fact, he tweeted: Man who’d of thought a little old drunken country singer could cause such a stir in the tree huggin world… Ha! I love this country…..
This just made me a fan of this Blake Shelton guy. GO BLAKE! Give those PETA dip____s what for! Your comments cracked me up!
look, I am a vegetarian, but just love Blake Shelton so much, that I really laughed at his comments to PETA They just take themselves so seriously, they invite people to bait them sometimes…..C’mon, everybody has to laugh at themselves!
PETA = People for the Eating of Tasty Animals LOL … And by the way PETA pinheads – a diet of donuts and chips is “vegetarian”, and will kill you mighty quick, while a diet including things like salmon will help keep you alive and kickin’. Don’t forget, America dies on Dunkin’!
GO Blake…
Wow. How clever. Says a lot about this guy. Some country singers are artists with something to say and others are just rednecks with an audience. Hope this guy gets his fill of high-fives, chest thumping and all of the other quasi-hetero congratulatory expressions these latent homosexual self loathing jerks seek, both in person and from his audience. Happy hunting and eating y’all! Yee-haw!
Wow, Loring; some really repressed feelings coming to the surface there? Your own green neck response is pretty telling.
Only a complete idiot would have anything to do with PETA and stupid GO VEGETARIAN campaign and in fact only a complete idiot would have anything to do with PETA
Let’s cut the BS Shelton simply has no plausible arguments and just keeps throwing back insults, that is not debating it’s called bullying. The PETA guy/gal probably felt they were talking to a ten year old!
Thats how I always feel when I have to repeat the same facts over and over to anti-hunters because all they do is ignore the facts and throw endless insults and posts full of hate and emotion. PETA has insulted so many groups of people with their controversial stunts I think they could use a taste of their own medicine. I think how he went about bashing them is how most country folks feel. We”re sick and tired of self-righteous groups like PETA sticking their noses in our business.
How is this related to theatre, exactly?
Meat is murder!
Tasty tasty murder!
Go Blake
Get them tree huggin liberal panzies
These veggie folks need to smile and look in the mirror, and try to explain away the 2 sets of canine teeth. Q.E.D.
PETA kills plants!!!!,…Did you talk to your plant today?
PETA wants to kill your pet dogs

I don’t normally like country music, but i saw Blake Shelton sing in a concert today on TV and he has an incredible voice! Then I read this article about how he stood off PETA, and now I think he’s my favorite country singer! Way to make fans, Shelton! Keep up the good work and hilarious comments!
Whether or not you agree with PETA and the way they act, you should educate yourself. Blake Shelton is not any better than PETA in the way he is acting. I think both of them are acting like children and it is completely overshadowing the fact that animals ARE suffering. The fact that we have moved from family farms to factory farms is sad, to say the least. This coming from someone who grew up in the country on a farm. Now 95% of our meat is coming from factory farms that do not care about you, they do not care about the animal, they do not care about anything other than money. I don’t know about you but that was not how my family raised me. I would never eat meat from a factory farm. I’ve seen tumors on those cows and the chickens are covered in urine! So even if you like meat, even if you don’t agree with PETA, you should atleast support the farmers and buy local! And that doesn’t mean buy at your ‘local’ wal-mart.
I’ve got four words for PETA= People Eating Tasty Animals. Ha ha.
Go Blake Shelton, I’ll be supporting his career. It is wonderful to know a celebrity who is not supporting the crazies of the world today. All the actresses who jump on the PETA bandwagon are fluffy airheads as demonstrated by Pamela Anderson being a PETA celeb who opened a Steakhouse………… Now that is anything for a buck, but with nothing but air in the heads of those celebrities it is no wonder. I use to think highly of Oprah Winfrey until she told the public via her TV forum to vote for Prop 2 in California’s last election that was supported by PETA’s brother in insanity the HSUS who spent over $2,000,000 to pass the law with their manipulation of the press. I am sick of people turning animals into the children they never had and allowing them all the comforts of a child, such as eating at the table, it is no wonder there are animal bites when people are so ignorant of bad behavior with animals, and no wonder they have given in home dog trainers so much work doing what any one should already know.
