Meat Isn't Murder: The PETA Morrissey Interview - Comments Page 2

I am not a hunter, but I like meat and feel no guilt in eating it, er them. I am against cruelty, but I believe animals have no rights we don't give them. It's all about us, to put it bluntly. Morrissey disagrees and tells a PETA interviewer so:
    Morrissey hooked up with PETA's Dan Mathews to take a snapshot of the ad and reflect on his feelings about animal rights.…

    Meat is murder. And if you think eating plants is bad, because they have feelings too, then all the more reason to be vegetarian, as meat eaters consume up to 20 times more vegetable matter in the process of cultivating carcasses to consume.

    if human beings tasted good, i'm sure the holocaust would have gone unnoticed. i find it insane that people will stick up for a lifestyle harmful to all living beings, including themselves, simply for a sensation they experience in their mouths that lasts the duration of a meal. unprotected sex feels great, but that doesn't make me want to risk my life for it.

    Lions kill other animals for food, why are we expected to be the bigger person and just eat fruit and fucking veg when there's loads of other species snacking away on all sorts of little animals out there and even the odd human? I agree that the method in which we kill the animals is fairly disgusting but, and this isn't exactly backing my argument up well, I just don't think about that too long.

    I am not a meat eater nor vegaterian. My diet consists of insects. My book, Better Health Through Bugs will help to give a better understanding between a vegaterian or meat diet.

    I love The Smihts, loved Meat is Murder - but if it came down to a choice between The Smiths and the dirty great big steak I have once a week, Morrisey would get the flick ...

    Rough Trade records defunct? No.
    The Smiths not funky?! Certainly not, some of those songs basically ARE funk tracks with Moz wailing over the top, Barbarism Begins at home being the most obvious example. It's sometimes amusing to note that Andy Rourke is basically playing funk basslines wherever he possiblly can, he'll slip in a little funk pattern in the most unlikely of songs & places, it should'nt work, but it does, gloriously, equally as responsible as Moz & Marr for the unique sound of the Smiths, Tremendous player, criminally underrated. Meat? love it!

    What absolute twaddle.

    Most people have the common sense to know deep down that it's a bit of a non argument. People have always eaten meat throughout human existance, it is quite literally the most natural thing in the world, it's called the food-chain, it's called life. Open your mouth & look in the mirror, you'll find you have four teeth designed for the purpose of tearing apart bits of flesh, except it.

    Some helpful tips for beginners to bushcraft:

    When harvesting deer or wild boar I prefer to used a bow with a high draw weight - at least a 100 pounds to ensure a clean kill, try to get within 30 yards of your prey, if the animal is hit but only wounded, administer a quick "coup de gras" with a blunt heavy object, I find my camping mallet a suitable tool for such occasions.
    When you have stripped & prepared your carcass you'll want to cook your meat slowly on a moderate heat to ensure it is fully cooked & tender throughout. Enjoy.
