Blake Shelton Jokes About Turtle Murder, Tells Fan to GET A LIFE!
by Hilton Hater at .Blake Shelton incited a major Twitter war over the weekend and was eventually forced to apologize for a tasteless joke and a string of insults... all because of a fake turtle's death.
It all started on July 27 when Shelton wrote: Does anyone know if the Eastern Box turtle is protected in Oklahoma? If so I didn't just swerve to the shoulder of the road to smash one...
NPR blogger Barbara J. King quickly responded in shock, asking the country music superstar: That turtle's life meant something- was your tweet a bad joke? Why would you be so cruel to a living being?”
From there, it was on!
Shelton especially got into it with a user named @turtlefeed, going off on her/him in reply to that follower questioning Shelton's apathy for animals:
Hey @turtlefeed. Before u make an even bigger dipshit of urself you should research on how much money I have raised to feed homeless animals... Hey @turtlefeed.. I solely have raised over a million dollars in animal rescue/conservation alone... How much have you raised? Oh. Ok. Next!
The artist eventually revealed that he was joking all along, but not before getting awfully personal in his insults:The best part of all of this is that the dumb asses didn't even look to see that I'm not even in Oklahoma today!! I'm in North Dakota!! Do they even have turtles in North Dakota?!!! God almighty!
Finally, Shelton received so much flak for his joke and his responses that he tried to issue an apology to put an end to the back and forth:
Ok.. Now that "Turtle-Gate" is over I want to apologize for my ignorant joke.. I never ran over a turtle. It wasn't even possible.

Hey terri did u ever think that us red-nex r tired of ppl like u saying its wrong to kill an animal for food. I bet if u stayed out in the woods and u didnt no the rite plants to eat u would starve
I don't think this is about the joke at all. It's about his obvious arrogance and disrespect to people on twitter. Yes, his fans MAY be familiar with his sense of humor, but we as well as HE best remember that NOT EVERYONE is a fan of his and hence NOT EVERYONE appreciates his jokes and ignorant twitter rants.
Who the hell is this guy? I'm guessing he must be a country singer from the looks of things. And that's one more reason I'm so glad I don't know anything about country music...
I can't believe he brought God Almighty into a ridiculous post from an asshole who knew damn well what he was doinbg when he posted that. For some twisted reason he WANTED to piss people off. I know he and his wife are big animal logvers so that males it all the more confusing. He should know better! I know it doesn't matter but my opinion of him went from positive to negative.
