Kid Rock has said he is prepared to "go to war" with an animal rights group over his insistence on wearing fur.

The musician frequently performs in fur and has spoken out in the past about his love of hunting.

Speaking to the Daily Record, Kid Rock criticised the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), whose campaigns condemn the use of animal fur and skin.

“My biggest extravagance is fur coats - I've got every kind of animal in my wardrobe. I'm willing the animal rights protesters to chuck red paint on me,” he said.

"To throw paint on someone is just wrong. They do it to little Hollywood actresses who can't defend themselves."
