    I don't eat meat for two reasons 1- how the lifes of animals are taken to turn ''food'' for humans. 2 - is not because they are animals that their lives have less value. I learned this with Morrissey! Thank you Moz! luv you.

    @scottdoesntknow. I think the reason people bitch and moan about this song is because it sounds like a bad Joy Division song with overblown synthesized animal noises and preachy lyrics.

    What I'm trying to get at here is whether you eat meat or not is your own personal choice. I don't need to be told I'm an evil person for doing so.

    The only reason people bitch and moan about this song is because somewhere inside they feel guilty that animals have to die for the sake of their food but don't have the guts to give it up. Humans can survive just fine without meat, sorry to say. I applaud vegetarians and vegans who stick by their mores, and I ALSO applaud hunters who kill for food because they're also standing true to their mores. If you don't have the conscience to kill an animal, you shouldn't be eating one. Some people can do it without a problem, and I respect that, but I get livid when people go on about how bad they feel about it or that they "don't want to hear" about the reality of slaughterhouses or how their meat is processed, yet they continue to eat burgers and chicken and whatever else. Ignorance at its finest.

    : / What a downer to watch/listen to at a live show. Morrissey is a lyrical genius though and this song is no exception.

    So death for a reason isn't murder.

    Meat is not wrong, and it is not a wrong way of life. Some people have reason to eat it, some people don't need it at all. As herbivores our body can cope with both source of food. But the mind! that's something hard to control. Pleasure is so particular, but nutrition is overall. A death for no reason is murder, and that's is the basic truth.

    Having said that, I like bacon with BBQ sauce. I don't like this song.

    Sounds a bit like a mess. Like the mess I make when I eat bacon with BBQ sauce all over it.

    All this makes me wonder is, "Is murder REALLY as delicious as bacon?"

    He is saying a death for no reason because people are able to survive as vegetarians, put a little thought into it. [2] It's better to say "Poor people, who don't think at all." Unfortunately, I saw a lot of such a people here.
