-swoons- Oh, Morrissey. Banning Meat from Festival Backstage

[desolation_no]

I just logged onto Youtube to get my 80's music video fix, and saw this on the front page Promoted Videos: (For those who don't want to/can't watch the gist is that Morrissey banned meat from the backstage of the 02 Wireless Festival. <3)

i don't blame him. if i had the power to demand a situation be meat-free, i'd sure as hell use it. people need to understand that for many veg*ns, meat is not just another food, it's death on a plate. it's not like, "oh, i don't like cookies, so i will ban people from eating cookies" it has nothing to do with preference..it's a fucking moral decision to not condone UNNECESSARY MURDER. when i see someone eating hotdogs and hamburgers, i get upset. to me, those hotdogs and hamburgers are OFFENSIVE. they are TORTURED ANIMALS and DEATH and their mere presence in my vicinity brings an oppressive negative energy. i'm not saying i go around weeping when i see people eating animals, but i feel a little depressed. i've learned to beat it back a lot in order to function in this omnivore-centered society.

and that girl interviewed in the 2nd half? her comment about being a vegetarian.. and saying.. "i'm not saying everyone in the world should be a vegetarian" is a load of fucking shit. apologetic veg*ns like her make me sick. either you think killing animals for their flesh is wrong, or you don't. it's like saying.. "well, i don't personally rape kids.. but you know.. my lifestyle is not for everyone." wtf??????????? and fuck her for calling morrissey "arrogant" for simply saying, "yo, i won't play if you serve meat"... i'd call him upstanding with some firm fucking morals. go morrissey.
