The Smiths - 15 Meat Is Murder (Nottingham 86)

[BaskingInTheRain]

i love Morrissey with all my heart, i really do

[JoeStunner]

One day, society will shudder with guilt at what it now does to animals, just as we now flinch at the concept of slavery or Nazi gas chambers. Hopefully, that day will arrive sooner rather than later.

[richl]

Weren't we all in love with him ?

[megalomania29]

and the calf that you carve with a smile IIIS MUUURDEEEEERRRR!!!!! it makes me cry. This is the only song that made me in tears.

[ThePrivateJoker]

Is cannibalism included? Just checking.

[caseyliveknight]

Anyone who really cares about the world and life, who has empathy and doesn't treat things differently because of the way they look will not eat meat. Viva la veganism!!

[Camberwell86]

@caseyliveknight I'd love to send you to live with the Inuits at the top of Greenland for 6 months. No fruit and veg there (apart from the disgusting, shrivelled, imported, extremely expensive stuff). You can say all you want about veganism but unless you've endured PROPER starvation, and by that I don't mean extreme hunger, I mean "if I don't eat something right now I'm actually going to die" sort of starvation... you've no idea what you'll eat when you NEED to eat. That's all I'm saying

[mmyyppaarrttyy]

I agree in principle with vegetarianism...

but I just can't give up bacon!

[harthandsoul]

I agree for vegetarian stuff, but some people in world have nothing to eat, so who hear them when they cry??

[cincincincin]

@harthandsoul I don't know, are you going to write a song about it? No one is ignoring that. This song just isn't about that.

[avatar2k6]

i read somewhere that the lyrics to this song turned mike joyce (the smiths drummer) vegetarian.

He said it wasnt when moz sang but when he read the lyrics, it just woke him up to it basically

[Neader27]

This song turned me into a vegetarian. Been over a month now. Thank you Morrissey!

[hismastersvoice88]

@Neader27, im vegie since over a year, and this song keeps me vegie. Best regards

[spacehopper75]

g@Neader27 well done you, you should be very proud of yourself, you have done an amazing thing.

[MikeStevens101]

I live in nottingham and can vouch for the fact Morrissey came round my house before the gig for a nice beefburger. Afterward, he stole a loo roll and some blutack, the cad.

[kamikaze1975japan]

animal have feelings.

[alyssia15]

for all omnivores watching this :

OPEN YOUR EYES!!!! YOUR IGNORANCE IS BLISS FOR YOU BUT HELL FOR THE ANIMALS

spare the innocent from pain and fear and GO VEGAN

[helenodonoghue]

I wish I was there.

[astralandrew]

saw them on this tour back in the day.....

[Kolily]

And who hears when animals cry?

[richardscunningham]

fucking hell dont i feel a little priveleged seeing this.

i dont know if i could ever be vegetarian but this nearly gets me every time.

[cincincincin]

It's actually easier than most people think, give it a try ! :D

[spacehopper75]

@cincincincin Indeed, i found it an absolute piece of cake, some 25 years ago!

[cincincincin]

@spacehopper75 25 years, congrats!! I'm going through my third year right now.

[snapdragonpuff]
