Morrissey wrote a letter to the UK Times praising Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe for unveiling footage of an undercover investigation of black bear baiting and hunting  and denouncing the practice of killing Canadian bears to use their fur to line the hats worn by the Queen’s Guards.

“Sir, I welcome Ann Widdecombe’s views on the depravity of bear-baiting in order to serve the vanities of the British Army Guards (Opinion, July 30). In the humanised world, of course, hats are not worth killing for. Yes, animal rights move different people differently, and there are even those who think that animals simply have no right to be, but there is no sanity in making life difficult on purpose for the Canadian brown bear, especially for Guards hats that look absurd in the first place, and which can easily be replaced by faux versions (thanks to the visionary Stella McCartney) with no death involved.”

“Do you agree that [Damien] Hirst’s head should be kept in a bag for the way he’s utilized and sold dead animals?”

–Morrissey, as quoted by Spinner, on artist Damien Hirst and his artwork involving preserved dead animals.

The vegetarian and animal rights singer criticized it, saying that such works read “like the inventory of a funerary Noah.”

Morrissey isn’t into the artworks of Damien Hirst, and he let Interview Magazine know it.

Hirst is famous for using dead animals preserved in formaldehyde for his…masterpieces.

Yeah, it all sounds so breathtaking.

Morrissey had nothing but good things to say about Hirst, including the fact that Hirst should have his head “kept in a bag” for the way he uses dead animals.

According to Contact Music, Morrissey said, “I dislike the ‘use’ of animals in art, such as in the work of Damien Hirst… Dead butterflies, cows, horses, humans, sheep and sharks – it reads like the inventory of a funerary Noah. How many halved calves suspended in formaldehyde does the world need? To my way of thinking, none.”

Hirst should leave the preserving to Smuckers, right?

Someone might have gotten themselves canned.

It’s no secret Morrissey has threatened to fire employees who eat meat on the job.

And when a Thanksgiving message from his employees to fans mentioned eating turkey, he had to have hit the roof.

To rub more salt in the wound, a post Thanksgiving memo was sent from an online store that sold Morrissey items stating, “Thanksgiving is over, so put down those turkey legs!”

Like, those legs should have never been picked up to begin with.

The store issued an apology stating, “Webstore wishes to apologise to Morrissey mailing list members who may have seen the mass email advertisement that was sent out after Thanksgiving which mentioned eating turkey. Morrissey is a strict vegetarian and abhors the killing of defence-less animals.”

Some things just sound too good to be true.

Like the rumor that Stella McCartney and Morrissey, two longtime vegetarians, are teaming up to design a leather-free shoe.

Negative.

Says official Stella McCartney Fan Page on Facebook:

“Stella is a fan of Morrissey but those rumors of a collaboration for a shoe line are simply not true.”

There’s really no other way to put it but as another fan did:

“bummer XX”

Con-Sole (pun intended) yourselves by buying a pair of leather free shoes from Vegetarian Shoes or Veganchic.com.

The gossip sites must have a shoe fetish this month.

Not long ago, a rumor was going around the web that Stella McCartney and Leona Lewis were collaborating to create a vegan shoe line.

The story smelled worse than sweaty feet and proved to be false.

Now, the word is that Morrissey and Stella are collaborating to create a leather free shoe.

“I’m working with Morrissey on a line of leather-free shoes which I’m really excited about,” McCartney told Mail Online. “We are still in the early stages, but the shoes could be launched next year.”

One would think if Morrissey were involved in this project, Stella would be designing men’s shoes, which would make vegan men around the world rejoice.

But judging from the track record of previous shoe stories from the tabloids…

We’ll believe it when we see it.

In the meantime, check out some athletic, casual and formal male vegan shoes available at alternativeoutfitters.com.

Eva Mendes recently teamed up with PETA to launch a new anti fur campaign in Los Angeles.

Eva once bared her own fur in an ad for the animal rights organization and said she’d be interested in doing a threesome anti-fur ad with Morrissey and Jennifer Aniston.

We’re still waiting for that one to come out.

In the meantime, take a look at Eva’s new PSA against fur.

“I didn’t know how animals were killed for fur,” Eva says. “And I even wore fur once myself. But when I learned how cruel the fur industry is and that there were no laws protecting these animals, I swore that I’d never wear it again.”

Morrissey was recently in Hamburg, Germany when he made a joke during his performance that the residents should be called “Hamburgists” instead of “Hamburgers.”

Morrissey’s so into veg, he just can’t have his fans being called hamburgers, ya know?

Someone in the audience didn’t object to being a Hamburger and yelled, “F*ck you,” to Moz.

Morrissey then replied, “Go. We don’t need you, we don’t need you. You can leave, and you can f*ck yourself.”

The man was then reportedly escorted out the venue.

Oh, yeah.

Moz will kick you off the team for eating meat.

And will kick you out the venue if you like being called a burger.
