Meatless Mouthful–Morrissey Says Learn From Animals

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 in Animal Issues, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.

Morrissey

“I think we have so much to learn from the animal kingdom. Instead, they are shot and gassed and farmed and eaten, and only humans do this to them! Animals don’t start wars or destroy the planet or create cancers or pollute or over-populate. Humans, by comparison, are a mess. You can also tell so much about a person by their treatment of animals. A woman in a fur-coat might as well carry a sign saying ‘I am an idiot.’ How women — and it’s usually women — can wear fur, whilst knowing how it’s manufactured, is absolutely bewildering to me. The human race is rarely humane.”

Morrissey, during an interview discussing his views on vegetarianism and animal rights. The former member of The Smiths who sang “Meat Is Murder” has been vegetarian since age 11.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. may be the biggest cock to actually get in a fight.

The boxer was interviewed for an episode of HBO’s “Mayweather/Cotto 24/7,” when he compared getting into a boxing ring with dog fighting. Realizing what an ass this would make him sound like, he quickly tried to get politically correct about it, then said, “screw it, I’m an ass. Let me tell you about my fur coats too.”

Or something of that nature.

Round 2 of holding political figures responsible for their attitudes towards animals has begun.

Last week, animal welfare groups attacked Mitt Romney for a trip he took to Canada with a dog allegedly strapped to the top of a vehicle.

Now, critics have turned to a passage Obama wrote in one of his books, Dreams of My Father, where he discusses eating dog in Indonesia. PETA actually took the time to offer some constructive critcism while others have Tweeted away jokes worth groaning over, as you’ll read below.

Gordon Ramsay

“It’s enough to make anyone turn fucking vegetarian for God’s sake. And I’ve always sort of knocked vegetarians and vegans for missing out on the most amazing flavor you get from meat. But you can see why so many people change, instantly.”
