Chrissie Hynde Hates Zoos, Loves Performing At Them?
Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 in Animal Issues, Female Musicians, Female Singers.
Chrissie Hynde is always outspoken on animal rights issues and is a stickler about practicing what she preaches. The woman even bans meat during her performances, requesting seitan “wheat meat” sandwiches be served at her concerts.
So it comes as a surprise that after speaking out against zoos, she’ll be playing at one for her summer tour promoting her latest album, Break Up The Concrete.
The Oversneer at Deceiver.com explains.
Chrissie Hynde is scheduled to perform at the Minnesota Zoo in August. But during an interview with Australian activist group Animal Liberation, she expressed interest in animals being free.
June: “I despise zoos and circuses with animals. What about you Chrissie?”
Chrissie: “The animals have got to be free.”
Chrissie is not a typical two-faced celebrity, so hearing this news is rather strange. Could it be the result of the forceful hand of a management company dictating an artist’s schedule.
Maybe Chrissie wants to use the opportunity to denounce zoos once she’s on stage.
