Showing Original Post only (View all)Morrissey Compares Carnivores To Pedophiles [View all]

Ringing in the new year in style and following-up the success of his long-awaited autobiography, former frontman of Manchester legends The Smiths Morrissey has said he sees no difference between meat-eaters and pedophiles during a recent Q&A on Morrissey fan site, True To You.
I see no difference between eating animals and paedophilia. They are both rape, violence, murder, declared the singer when asked What is it that prompted you to stop eating meat? The Meat Is Murder-singer continued, saying, If Im introduced to anyone who eats beings, I walk away.
Imagine, for example, if you were in a nightclub and someone said to you Hello, I enjoy bloodshed, throat-slitting and the destruction of life, well, I doubt if youd want to exchange phone numbers, he concluded, continuing his long-standing and vocal criticism of those dastardly flesh-eaters.
When asked about what new laws he would like to see come into action in order to better the plight of animals, Morrissey referenced The Queen, Jamie Oliver, and UK singer Cilla Black, saying:
I would like the Queen of England to be asked why she wears an electrocuted bear-cub on her head. I would like to ask all so-called celebrity chefs why they believe that animals should have no right to live.
If Jamie Orrible is so certain that flesh-food is tasty then why doesnt he stick one of his children in a microwave? It would taste the same as cooked lamb.

It must be true because a self absorbed Morrissey said it was. Everything he says should be

What a moron. He's not helping the cause. Is he doing that intentionally, or is he really that much

If his ancestors didn't become omnivores, he'd be living in a tree throwing shit at his neighbors

His language is very similar to the words of anti choice activists, hyperbolic and unhinged.

Anyone who drags a touring music show around the globe to make profit has no right lecturing
