Yes, okay, way, way back in the early days, back in Florida, Manson did used to have caged chickens as a part of his stage show. It was performance art though, alright? Besides, none of the chickens were ever harmed. Some rumours even back then cite the contrary, but Manson's not one to have animal blood on his hands. Even he has to draw lines. Otherwise though, no puppies or other animals were ever harmed during his shows. As for band members, that's different. Manson had no problems groping or jumping on his band members all for the sake of an entertaining show. Just look at his adorable cat Lily White. When he divorced Dita Von Teese, they fought for custody of pets, including the cat. Does that sound like the type of guy who would sacrifice live animals? We didn't think so.
