Rock Star Says He Sees ‘No Difference’ Between Eating Meat & Pedophilia
1980′s English rock star Steven Morrissey said in an online interview this week that he doesn’t see a difference between eating meat and pedophilia.
“I see no difference between eating
animals and paedophilia (sic),” he said, responding to a question about
what’s motivated him to be a vegetarian. “They are both rape, violence,
murder.”

“If I’m introduced to anyone who eats
beings, I walk away,” the former frontman for The Smiths
continued. Imagine, for example, if you were in a nightclub and someone
said to you ‘Hello, I enjoy bloodshed, throat-slitting and the
destruction of life,’ well, I doubt if you’d want to exchange phone
numbers.”

Morrissey added in the interview he
would like “the Queen of England to be asked why she wears an
electrocuted bear-cup on her head” and wondered why if a British
celebrity is “so certain that flesh-food is tasty then why doesn’t he
stick one of his children in a microwave.”
In February, Morrissey canceled an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”
after learning the cast of “Duck Dynasty” would be on the same night.
At the time, he said he didn’t want to be featured on a program that
included “animal serial killers.”
