Blake Shelton Brags About Killing A Turtle On Twitter

Country music star and coach on NBC's "The Voice", Blake Shelton, just shocked Twitter by claiming he intentionally ran over a turtle.

When he was called out for cruelty, he didn't show much remorse.

The initial tweet:

An NPR blogger asked if the tweet was a joke.

And Blake was less than courteous.

Update: Shelton indicated the tweet was a joke and that he wasn't in Oklahoma yesterday. Barbara King (@bjkingape) weighed in at NPR regarding why these tweets matter anyway. Shelton's fans continue to threaten turtles in defense of the initial tweet. I echo King in hoping that these fans aren't serious.

maybe it's kind of like how rednecks assume every snake is a copperhead.

Seriously. I know which swamp snakes are safe thanks to growing up amongst rednecks. Plus, every snake is a water moccasin here ... Though the two are easily mistaken.

Most people can't tell if a snake is poisonous or non-poisonous, regardless of the color of their neck. And considering the copperhead is very common along the eastern seaboard and aggressive, no surprise if it's the common assumption.

But rednecks are probably going to know what a copperhead is better than someone from New York. lbr
