Morrissey: 'I see no difference between eating animals and paedophilia'

Daqster

MORRISSEY has sparked outrage online when he compared eating animals to paedophilia

The controversial artist was answering questions from fans on True-To-You.net. when the online community were alerted to the outrageous comment.

The Smiths frontman was asked by a fan what motivated him to stop eating meat - to which he replied: "I see no difference between eating animals and paedophilia.

"They are both rape, violence, murder. If I'm introduced to anyone who eats beings, I walk away."

He then used an example of introducing yourself to someone in a club as someone that enjoys "throat-slitting".

He said: "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 you'd want to exchange phone numbers."

The rock star, who has been a huge supporter of animal rights campaign PETA, also took the time to lay into other celebrities on the website.

He went on to label former Blind Date host Cilla Black a baby eater and questioned why TV chef Jamie Oliver "doesn't stick one of his children in the microwave".

After explaining Cilla Black had appeared on a cooking show making a lamb dish, he slammed the idea that eating a baby of any species was wrong.

He said: "Since a lamb is a baby, I wondered what kind of mind Cilla Black could possibly have that would convince her that eating a baby is OK."

The singer-songwriter went on to say the Government should ban any 'flesh-food' adverts and meat-eating on the TV.

One of his strangest comments came in March last year when he defended the use of animals being used as fashion.

He said: "The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it's not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It's because of Beyoncé's handbags."

I obviously think a lot of what he says is lunacy but I do take his point with regards to the eating of young Lambs (and Veal etc) as it does seem an awful thing to be eating. If there is a shortage of meat, then sure, I can understand that but for humans to be eating young lambs and calves, just because they are more tender at that age, is kind of reprehensible to me.

What do you think yourselves?

He is certainly not doing vegans or vegetarians any favours.

Indeed, and even Russell Brand (who is a vegan) disagreed with him in the following clip when he made a comparison between abattoirs and the holocaust:

As a veggie, I cringe at reading this sort of thing. Does nothing for the vegetarian cause, making us look like lunatics! Meat is murder, but it's not a Sexual parafilia (unless you do bold things to your steak before you eat it!)

Morrissey needs a slap for trying to draw that comparison.

He's either seeking controversy, profoundly stupid, or seriously deficient in human empathy.

Probably something of the first, substantially of the second, and compounded by the third.

Over nine thousand I think. Celebrities are weird

You know the way there's always someone that before you even hear what they have to say, you just go "ugh, that guy"?

Morrissey is that person for me. This just reinforces that. Ugh.

Someone ought to drink his Irish blood and eat his English heart.

Except meat is not murder. It's just not.

I hear no difference between any of his songs.

They're all crap and sound the same.

I know that Morrissey released a statement saying that he was advised to give up touring. After so many cancellations I hope he takes notice. And perhaps give up singing altogether - to give us all a break, the miserable git.

I don't really mind some of his songs but his voice is like somebody who needs to clear his throat but instead of coughing he gargles mouthwash whilst simultaneously suffering from depression about having such an annoying voice.

Basically: I hate listening to Morrissey or even the Smiths because of his stupid voice.

Dont listen to it then. Simples!

Does Morrissey realise that animals eat each other.

Therefore Morrissey actually supports rape and paedophilia by supporting animal rights.

By his logic that is.

I don't. Not if I can help it anyway, will always switch him off in my car and stuff but sometimes I've no choice.

I object to everyone who says that these are the attention seeking comments of a media whore trying to revive a dying career.

Morrissey was always a turgid, stupid dickhead.

Ya either love him or hate him.

Good. I wouldn't want to talk to the depressing twat anyway.

He sounds a bit like a crackpot to me.

I'm beginning to think that his girlfriend only pretended to be in a coma so she wouldn't bloody have to listen to him.

In all fairness, he must have to walk away from an awful lot of people so. Which I'm sure those people are more than okay with.

All us people he walks away from will get together and have a barbecue.

You can like/love/tolerate his music and think he's a total tosser, which I think is probably the stance of much of his audience.

Yeah that's my stance, he's an amazing artist, and must be doing something right with all his fans, but i'd say after 5 minutes with him ya'd be reaching for the rope.

You'd be all like 'heaven knows I'm miserable now' after a few minutes alright.

Kinda ashamed to like a few of their songs with this gobshíte as lead. Almost as ashamed as I am with U2 but not quite so bad..

The man is a deluded self righteous clown. He maintains animals look to us for love and protection so we shouldnt be eating them. Not true. Yes Pets such as dogs and cats give us company and affection but that is only so in order for us to give them what they want i.e feed them. Animals are our competitors for the earths resources, not our friends. So yeah, i think ill tuck into a nice mince pie.
