Just for Morrissey
Morrissey has sparked fury among fans after insisting the massacre in Norway last week was “nothing” compared to the number of animals killed daily for the fast food industry.
The controversial former The Smiths star was on stage at a show in Warsaw, Poland on Sunday night when he gave his thoughts on the two terror attacks in Oslo, which claimed the lives of at least 76 people.
According to the Daily Mirror, before starting his track Meat Is Murder, the outspoken vegetarian told the crowd, “We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown… Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried S**t every day.”
The paper claims fans flocked to web forums to slam the remark.
A spokesperson for the singer says, “Morrissey has decided not to comment any further as he believes his statement speaks for itself.”
Morrissey has been vehemently opposed to the meat industry throughout his 28-year career, and has even banned burgers and sausages from being cooked at venues on his current tour.

My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.

Grumpy old fart!!! 
Philosophically, I’ve always wondered what people would do if the need to kill for food was somehow eliminated. I mean, could anyone continue to “morally” justify the killing after that?
With that having been said however, Morrissey’s comments were ludicrously inappropriate!
I’ve was a veggie well before it was “trendy” but I don’t have a real problem with people killing animals for food, although there are plenty of alternatives providing you aren’t trying to match taste for taste; but where I do object is game hunting and hunting for fun. The alternative is that he hunt each other for sport, ops we do that already!
