Malevolent Creation – ex-Drummer David Kinkade Launches Metal 4 Pets in Support of Abused Animals
Former MALEVOLENT CREATION drummer David Kinkade has launched the Metal 4 Pets Foundation in support of helping abused animals. Kinkade’s personal appeal for help reads as follows:
“I have launched the start of a life-long dream that I have had for years, to the helping of abused, homeless and neglected animals. I have always loved animals and have 3 myself. A young, black cat that I raised since birth, an older cat that I saved from a shelter and a little dog that I saved as well. ”
“Everyday, more that 2,600 animals are put down due to not being able to find homes for them and the complete over-population of shelters. This is complete fucking bullshit.”
“My goal is to pull the “metal community” together as 1, to support saving these unfortunate animals and finding permanent homes for them. It is going to take a hell of A LOT of work, help and support BUT if metal is really “the strongest fan-force”, then lets make it happen.”
“Animal abuse is bullshit and completely UN-acceptable. Those who hurt animals deserve in-operable tumors at the base of their spines.”
“I’m sure many of you reading this can agree with me that when you walk in the door everyday, nothing feels better than the attention, love and happiness that you’re animal brings to “welcome” you home.”
“Musicians are overpaid and usually spend their money on drugs and other pointless shit. Maybe it’s time to start planning our children’s futures with a smart start by helping save the animals. I would eventually like to create a “METAL 4 PET’S” fund, in which artists can agree to donate a certain percentage of album, merch. and donation sales. Also, if the idea takes off (with you’re help) we can create an “OZZFEST” like tour, which proceeds go to M.4.P. in use of helping animals. I don’t see anything constructive happening in metal and if I did not enjoy playing it, I would probably completely disassociate myself with it. There are too many drug addicts and alcoholic’s in metal who take the money you pay them and stick it up their asses, noses and down their throats. FUCK THAT. ”
“Animals need us. We are their only hope…….Let’s spread the word.”

this is a worthy cause
“Musicians are overpaid.” Really? Where’s my fucking paycheck? “I don’t see anything constructive happening in metal.” Since when does playing metal associate you with some sort of cause? Kinkade is working toward a good thing, but his head is also way up his ass.
Hey “DICK”…..Open you’re eyes and read. Maybe you havent seen a paycheck because you havent earned it. Boo Hoo…..Also, Its called “METAL 4 PETS”….therefore, aimed at bringing the metal community together to support something worth while…..rather than supporting a bunch of washed up drug addicts.
If my head is up my ass, I guess everyone whos supporting me has their heads up their ass as well.
Thanks for you’re input.
lol. while i understand the purpose behind it all, who gives a fuck how many animals get put down in shelters? there’s too damn many of them anyways.
Dave, you’re doing a great thing here. I fully support this and am willing to donate some amount of money to the cause.
It stuff like this that reminds me that metal does have its fair share of sensitive and intelligent people and is not completely made up of the ignorant, “Slayer!”-yelling idiots.
Thanx so much for the support and kind words. Send me a message at

Ah, of course, you’ve earned yours….you must be one of the overpaid musicians you’re complaining about. Nice. It’s really cool to see you insult and generalize about all the hard-working underground metal musicians and fans that have helped and supported your band through the years.
Notice I never bad-mouthed your cause, it’s something I agree with you on. I just think it was shitty of you to go all Tipper Gore on metal.
haha…..im not going tipper gore…..Im trying to bring everyone together to support something positive that needs fucking support…….rather than church and stupid shit…….Wana talk about underground bro? haha 1st off ive never made any of the money I was promised and second all of my friends are in underground bands. I completely support the underground. The underground is doing better than most of the mainstream bands……And to the piece of shit “OF DIVINE NATURE”……you need to fuck yourself with a rattlesnake…….
Dave kicks ass. This is actually something worth doing
This is extremely noble. I support this whole heartedly. Thanks dave.
I think I’d stand up for a dog getting the shit kicked out of it before I stood up for most human beings
that’s one of those things that just pisses me off beyond belief. Like all these pitbull laws the government has–they are putting some of the most beautiful and loyal dogs down while the fault should lie on the owners
Anyways, I think this is a great cause whether there “are too many animals” or not, you don’t see them putting down humans for reproducing too much, every living creature should have a right to live
ignore the haters dave, and keep up the good work.
I will donate if you give me your drumming skills.
haha……get in contact with me….myspace.com/davekinkade
Sounds like someone might be bitter about not making as much money as “washed up drug addicts” that are selling out shows and cd’s!Sure helping hurt animal is a nice cause but I’d rather give my money to abused children or something of that nature.Could you imagine the amout of animals there would if they weren’t any put down?It is a pretty humane thing to do if you ask me. I’m sure Chuck Schuldiner wouldn’t wish a tumor on anyone , real nice. And trying to tell people how to spend their money?To top it off you say donating to a church is bullshit? Way to be open minded! Just because people listen to metal doesn’t mean they aren’t christian or don’t have a religion.
ps- saying you don’t see anything “constructive” going on in metal is probably a big insult to a lot of artist and fans. and if thats really how you feel why the hell are you a part of it ?
way to go!
haha. i love how i need to fuck myself with a snake because i don’t give a shit about most animals. awesome. grow up dude.
fuck you……..enough said
Fuck you Manda….Church sucks balls. It is a cult if you ask me. Some people don’t need religion to have a good life. My son is christian and so is my girlfriend. I am not. Am I not, “open minded”? Am I going to hell for not believing in God? Are you in a position to start a fund for abused children?? Probably not. If you are, don’t talk about it, be about it. If you could read, Dave never “told” anyone how to spend their money. He’s just right; spending money on drugs is stupid, I used to do it. Oh and most metal is underground. Do they play Arsis on the radio? No. They are just one of the better bands in the metal world. If you’re that good, it’s pretty certain they would make more money than others and be known.
