I Love when he says: their lives are as impotant to them as yours is to you! He is right!! Love you Morrissey!

Their lives are as impotant to them as yours is to you

He is speaking the horrific truth ......

I couldn’t love this man any more ❤

I was at his concert in Hull recently. I sobbed watching Meat is murder. I saw other people's faces who were shocked too. There were animal rights campaigners there handing out leaflets. I am already a vegetarian but I sure would have become one after that concert if I wasn't. So he is doing something positive and productive to help.

"Can i just say one more thing"... He glares them all right in the eye... Dedicated to animal protection.

When you consume death you become death. Love you Morrissey!

i gave up meat and more over 3 year ago for compassionate reasons and have never felt better. Morrissey is right in all he says

When Morrisey said broccoli spears at McDonalds...I thought he was saying that they were now selling veggies! But later on in the interview I got that he was talking about Brittany Spears...well I just laughed out loud! I love Morrisey...what a thoughtful, intelligent, well spoken man!

he has some old cats! 4 old cuddly cats! oh I love him to pieces

I love him.

Morrissey is perhaps my favorite human being. I've undergone an incredible change in my perspective towards many things in life during this "pandemic". Things i never cared about like politics, books, animal rights, abortion, vegetarianism, etc matter a great deal to me now. I'm so glad to know morrissey shares the same views as me on just about everything

Back when PETA weren't a laughing stock!!

bloody love him

''Brockley Spears, ''In Sync'', ''Murder King'' Hahaha!

You are the best... Thank you Morrissey,

I love this guy where has he been all my life dot dot dot

so wonderfully put and beautifully said...love this

Animals can speak and cry out in pain! That´s why Im vegan!

Since August of last year I've been 95% vegetarian because of the Meat is Murder , Manchester show.

Your empathy for living creatures and their welfare is most revealing.

Morrissey is one of my idols.

Now this is why I love Morrissey! Everything he says is so true... To me, killing an animal is just the same as killing a person, too bad there are still so many people who don't realize that there is no difference at all :(

"The life of every animal is just as important to that animal as your life is to you" well said Moz..

85 Million slaughtered a day. Argh. Not to mention any others who are torchured needlessly, battery hens come to mind.

"Broccoli Spears" Hahahahaha!!!!! But for real, while I am against the meat industry and glad to see organizations like PETA standing up to this issue, I am also critical as to how they carry out their types of protests. Some of the things they do are almost militant and I don't know if they're going about their protesting in the right way. Viva Moz!

Fantastic person. Really a gold man

I am so happy that people like Morrissey are dedicate to the protection of animals. It is so important for people to care about living things other than human beings (even though we are animals ourselves) You tell em Moz!

Man, i really love u, u r a real hero 4 many of us

Respect to the guy for devoting so much of himself in trying to raise awareness. I cannot imagine eating meat or having the mindset of taking a life just for the perceived pleasure of a meal or a snack. I think like Morrissey, it will be one of the things that I take to my grave as not being able to relate to in any way. There is a certain innocence in animals that contrasts against the selfishness and calculated evils of humanity.

Murder King!!! Haha!! I feel quite traiterous aa I eat their Veggie Burgers!

never fails to inspire me...love ya Moz

Surely, though, you are somewhat glad that Morrissey, in his position of influence, will doubtlessly have saved the lives of a great number of animals. I, for one am considering vegetarianism after seeing this.

What meningful differences make a human more valuable than an animal?

I agree with him if they showed film of slaughterhouses and their practices I think there would be a vegetarian revolution.

Moz - what a legend.

I'm an eater of meat, but I really can't argue with his logic when he makes his points against it. All I've really got is that it tastes good.

Vegetarians can obtain all of the essential amino acids by eating a wide variety of non-animal proteins. Combining plant proteins will ensure that whatever amino acid is low or absent in one source will be provided by another.

Gracias Morrissey por todo lo que haces por los animales!! Gracias!!!

My ex boy friend make me discovered this band. I really like the smiths now. But my friend 's not alive, so I'm so sad when I listen to the smiths!

I saw The Viper Room and peta, I wonder if he knew River Phoenix, they would have had a lot in common and I would think have a lot to offer the world together, since they did share the same passions and interests!

Broccoli Spears. LOL

BRAVO 👏🏻

aaww. so many reasons to lllllooooovvvee morrissey.

I LOVE YOU MORRISSEY

Beautiful Human 🙏♥️♥️♥️🙏

Handsome devil....

Morrissey is just TOO AWESOME!

Ohhh Morrissey! God love him!

I love that he refuses to divulge the names of his cats. Such a silly question, when the emphasis is on animal welfare it's really stupid of her to waste the time an opportunity to ask a much more serious question, good of him for refusing to engage in a petty conversation.

I eat meat and dairy. I also support Morrissey's stance on vegan-only foodstuffs at The Live Earth June concert. It is a small request that makes a big statement. My question would be including banning cooking insects? Now that would be a statement right there: a food catering company at The Live Earth concert that served grasshopper burgers.

This God like man should be running our country..he is 1 exceptional human being...I admire him greatly ❤

I adore Morrissey

LEGEND!!! Agree with everything he says . . .

He has got wisdom. =)

"Animals come first" - that speaks to me

thanks! i was trying to understand why he was inspiring people to go vegetarian and i now see this as a good stepping stone. I could not have gone vegan in a day unless forced and without his MIM album perhaps it may have took many more years for me to realise something was wrong with my view on food. it is a big(yet positive) change to make in anyone's life particularly after been brought up as a meat eater, thanks for your input. peace : )

Love Morrissey!

I adore him

As Ghandi said once "Theres enough for all our needs, but not enough for everyone's greed." Or something very similar !

As a Broccoli Spears fan, I don't have the words to describe how much I love Morrissey. He's such an inspiration when it comes to animal rights.

That's just semantics. Let me put it another way then: there are doubtlessly a great number of animals enjoying (or have enjoyed) a longer life thanks to Morrissey's activism. Morrissey is just not as far along as you yet. It's hard to give up certain pleasures.

I want the meat industry and the porn industry to be shut down Permanently

Giving up anything, ANYTHING, that you've consumed since you were a child, you will struggle to quit. Period

I SALUT TO MORRISEY!!!!

11 years ago woah

The camera catchs Chrissie Hynde's face at the very last second. I'd love to hear what she had to say as well.

Such a beautiful person. Love you Moz.

Morrissey is 100% right, I have been a fan of his for 25 years, and thanks to him I became a vegetarian years ago. We as humans have no right to take animals lives for our own twisted need to eat meat, how can you kill and eat something that can love you. . In reality WE DO NOT NEED MEAT TO SURVIVE, it is a choice. Its so heartbreaking to know how millions of innocent animals over the years have suffered because of cruel, selfish, stupid, humans, and its not just the cows pigs and sheep, In china they have the yearly Yulin festival, where they slaughter and eat thousands of dogs, and this corona virus which originates from a live animal market in Wuhan china that sold baby wolves, donkeys, fox, and other animals for consumption. shame on these ASSHOLES and shame on the ASSHOLE chinese government for letting this go on for so long.. These people that are doing this to these animals deserve to get sick and die but unfortunately... this is also affecting innocent people.

RESPECT Morrissey wow!!! Vegetarian people are cool, Vegan people may be even cool-er !!

his 02 concert recently converted me to becoming vegetarian. the film he showed with "meat is murder"

Morrissey you really are the most down to earth well spoken person out there. There is no need to eat meat in the world we live in today, we have evolved and there is plenty of other food out there that will meet all of our nutritional needs. Have more empathy people!

Well heres one for you: it tastes BLOODY fantastic!

Moz is the best!

Cows have been bred to be slaves. The calf that the milk was intended for is usually slaughtered, hence the mother cows milk needs to be extracted or it causes pain.

That's a good point.

When you go through equine vet school you have to go on a walking tour of a slaughterhouse. I personally know 2 vets that stopped eating meat after their tour. One said it was the cattle holding pens and the other said it was the kill room floor. One of the vets said , "if people only knew"

How weird that The Viper Room & Peta are together on that wall, considering River Phoenix was a major animal rights activist and did commercials for Peta, and died outside The Viper Room. Was this Peta event at The Viper Room?

No animal in this world would ever be killed or abused if people always did a very simple thing: put themselves in the other side's shoes. It's that simple. Don't do to others what you wouldn't want to be done to you...

What about all the millions of calves slaughtered so that their mothers milk can be consumed by vegetarians? The dairy industry is brutal. Most vegetarians are not vegetarian, they are lacto-ovo vegetarians. True vegetarians are herbivores. Vegans go further and try not to purchase anything that causes suffering.

We just done tabling for vegetarian and vegan outreach and animal rights at all his Irish tours

Firstly, thank you for your response. Secondly, I agree - eating meat is a freedom and it's a freedom we're all entitled to, very much like religion in a way. I understand though. You have your reasons for eating meat and I have mine for not so really, beyond that, as long as we're both happy with the choices we make then anything else is of little relevance? And I can see your point about PETA, but could I reason with you and say perhaps the only way they can make a stand is via their methods?

"Animals give us so much" they do indeed, meat

Thank you :)

@RacerXGTO Yep. That's exactly how it's supposed to work.... *Dripping Sarcasm*

I find it somewhat ironic that he equates the meat industry to Hitler, considering Hitler himself was a vegetarian and supporter of animal rights. I'm certain Hitler would support Morrissey's advocacy wholeheartedly if he were alive. Morrissey, apologize to Hitler. :)

If you're a vegetarian or vegan that also means you're obligated to respect people as much as you do animals. No one forget that. If you are going to protect animals, you should also protect the fellow man.

"I think the whole meat industry would collapse over night if they just showed for an hour what goes on in a slaughter house" "Where did you find out about it?" "I watched a documentary on the BBC about what goes on in a slaughterhouse."

I find it ironic that he likened eating meat to "Hitler thriving today"...Hitler was a staunch vegetarian and NSDAP-era Germany was the first nation to enact animal protection and environmental laws. They outlawed vivisection and Himmler even made an effort to try and ban hunting. P.C.s take note - this is all well-documented and easy to find. ;)

wait a sec. peta says that we cannot have any pets. he has some cats. the fuck, THE FUCK; THE FUCK

Being vegetarian is better than being corpse eater... Each man do what he can do best. i feel weak without eggs... i'm ovo vegetarian at the moment.

Your body won't feel deprived as long as you eat vegetables and fruits and basically just healthy organic meals. For instances broccoli has just as much protein as meat does and it has less cholesterol and zero grams of fat. And there are many other vegetables like that.

Right fucking on.

i love the sentiment, but what does he feed his cats?

He has a very good grasp of the Law of Correspondence. I respect that immensely. As above, so below. Humanity is over due for harvest. Karma’s a bitch.

@dartmoordog I'll ignore your incorrect syntax and ask you again - what do you think he does with them?

god over twenty years later and this still holds true. mcdonald's doing the travis scott meal, bts meal, etc. it's the same thing!!! there are plenty of things to criticize morrissey for, but when people denounce him for his views on animal rights, i can't help but feel they're only deflecting. people love to shit on vegans to avoid having to think critically about what they're putting in their bodies

Morrissey is god. One of the main reasons I went vegetarian. Completely agree with everything he says here. Meat is murder. Proud to be vegetarian.

Sat here eating my chicken stir fry. Some lovely points made here though. I am no god for it.

It is a valid argument because the only justification you're giving for eating meat is your personal pleasure. "It's OK to eat meat because it tastes good." "It's OK to rape women because it feels good." It's the same thinking.
