Singer Steven Patrick Morrissey rails against the Chinese & their treatment of animals

[Duppers]

Morrissey described the people of China as a subspecies because of the way they treat animals, and he is is standing by his remarks.

The outspoken former Smiths frontman, a longtime vegetarian and animal rights advocate, told the Guardian Weekend magazine:

"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."

"If anyone has seen the horrific and unwatchable footage of the Chinese cat and dog trade - animals skinned alive - then they could not possibly argue in favour of China as a caring nation. There are no animal protection laws in China and this results in the worst animal abuse and cruelty on the planet. It is indefensible."

He's a mixed bag, but I'll take his support of animal rights.

3. I fucking love Morrissey, have since I was 14.

That said, some pretty stupid shit comes out of his mouth occasionally, and he clearly has racist tendencies.

4. Yeah, but what does Johnny Marr have to say on the issue?
