In the west cute animals shouldn't be eaten, like cats and dogs. in east all animals are on the menu. doesn't matter if they are cute or not.

yet in the enlighten west animals are wasted from hunting to animal shelters. As a eastern it is very wasteful to see a perfectly good animal just dumped simply because its cute or just hunted for hunting sake. yes i'm a subspecies and i don't waste resources.



SINGER Morrissey has sparked fresh outrage after branding Chinese people a "subspecies".

The ex-Smiths frontman made the comments in a magazine interview, as he slammed the treatment of animals in Chinese circuses and zoos.

Passionate animal rights activist Morrissey, 51, said: "Did you see the thing on the news about their treatment of animals and animal welfare? Absolutely horrific. You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies

    None of this makes him wrong about animal treatment in Chinese zoos.

    I think its better just to kill something than prolong the punishment, whether it is cute or not.

    Not eating something because it is cute, and eating something because it isn't cute is just silly.

    Eat them all or eat none.

    I deplore animal cruelty, so I feel that if an animal is to be slaughtered for human consumption, it should be killed quickly and as painlessly as possible. Some cultures kill dogs for eating by putting them in a sack and beating them to death, I don't find that acceptable. A quick blow to the head or exsanguination is appropriate. I also think that we should allow the commercial hunting of deer to supply venison to supermarkets and restaurants.

    Endangered species should be off limits for hunting for whatever reason.

    well buddy you're a subspecies too then.
    racist!

    yes you are hahaha.

    a gilded cage is still a cage. in a western zoo or pets at home is no different from a chinese zoo or food.

    it would be like a racist calling all blacks rapist and murders by a few members of a group. calling all chinese subspecies is no different. wow the truth comes out.

    Morrissey's racist comment doesn't make his statement about the treatment of animals untrue.

    Neither does the fact that animals are poorly treated in the West.

    Yet again you're confusing hypocrisy with lying.

    Did Morrissey once have the ability to speak on behalf of vegetarians?

    Mozzer is turning into Christopher Hitchens (the older version) in his own older age (he's 51 now, Hitchens is 61.) As in being English, clever, intentionally irritating, combative, and putting on weight.

    Check out the full Guardian interview at http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/sep/03/morrissey-simon-armitage-interview

    Yes, I own old Smiths and solo Morrissey albums I actually paid for, but I think I've moved on from my age 14–22 emotional attachments… and I'm 40 now #-o

    I predict that their endangered status has a far greater negative influence on them being eaten than their cuteness.
