Winnipeg Free Press is reporting that MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee has banned SeaWorld from using the band's music.

Lee was enraged when he heard the aquatic theme park wanted to use rock music for new killer whale display show, Shamu Rocks, as he believes it is cruel to make the giant sea mammals perform for entertainment.

In a letter to John T. Reilly, president of the theme park's San Diego location, he wrote: "I'm writing to ask you not to play any Mötley Crüe songs at any of SeaWorld's parks during this sad show. Although we like to torture the human fans who willingly come to our shows, we don't want to be a part of making innocent animals' lives hellish."

This is not the first time Tommy - an active member of People For Te Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) - has been upset about the treatment of whales by SeaWorld.

According to Fox News, Mötley Crüe and KISS are donating money to support those affected by the Colorado movie theater shootings.

The bands said at their concert in suburban Denver on Wednesday night that they would donate $100,000 to the Aurora Victim Relief Fund. The fund was set up to help victims and families who were hurt when a man opened fire July 20 at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in Aurora. Twelve people were killed, and 58 were injured.
