At this point, it's never really a surprise when Morrissey speaks out about his beliefs, especially concerning animal cruelty, and he's directed another letter toward Britain's Royal Family to condemn their hunting practices.
Back in November he released an extensive treatise addressing the issue in a piece called "The World Won't Listen," which was sparked by the controversial incident when American television host/hunter Melissa Bachman posted an unsettling photo of herself with a lion she slaughtered.
Now he's released a letter titled "The story is old, I know, but it goes on," in which he specifically criticizes Prince William's speech about protecting endangered species, which he made just one day before he went hunting with Prince Harry.
"The Spanish trip is more than likely unwillingly funded by the British taxpayer, and we know very well that the British press is duty-bound to always defend and cleanse the bad behavior of the Boil Family - no matter how abysmal and hypocritical their actions," Morrissey wrote. "But the rationalists amongst us - who are never allowed to speak, are intelligent enough to realize that endangered species are dying out only because of people like William and Harry, and, for this we can only pray to God that their hunting guns backfire in their faces."
In his previous letter he made a point to criticize Prince William, Prince Harry, U.S. congressman Paul Ryan, "political fluffhead" Sarah Palin, Princess Anne ("her slackwitted view"), British socialite ("thickwit") Pippa Middleton, Prime Minister David Cameron, PJ Harvey and Bryan Ferry ("whom allegedly support fox-hunting"), and Queen Elizabeth.
Morrissey no doubt has very strong opinions about the issue at hand, and he isn't afraid to say it like he sees it. And he's not afraid to be harsh with his language in the process.
Read the entire new letter below and check out his previously released "The World Won't Listen" here.
"One day prior to giving a public plea on behalf of animal welfare (!), Prince William is to be found in Spain (with Prince Harry) shooting and killing as many deer and boar as they possibly can! Although William's speech (no doubt written by his publicity aides at Clarence House) will concentrate on endangered species, William is too thickwit to realize that animals such as tigers and rhino are only driven to near extinction because people who are precisely like himself and his brother have shot them off the map - all in the name of sport and slaughter. Whenever you shoot an animal in the head the outcome is usually the same: death. Just why William kills innocent and defenseless deer does not matter - the fact is, he does it, and we must go on and on asking why any form of violence is acceptable to the British establishment. It is easy for privileged people to assume jealousy to be the reason why anyone would wish to condemn them, but the British Boil Family never fails to be a colossal embarrassment to the United Kingdom. The Spanish trip is more than likely unwillingly funded by the British taxpayer, and we know very well that the British press is duty-bound to always defend and cleanse the bad behavior of the Boil Family - no matter how abysmal and hypocritical their actions. But the rationalists amongst us - who are never allowed to speak, are intelligent enough to realize that endangered species are dying out only because of people like William and Harry, and, for this we can only pray to God that their hunting guns backfire in their faces."
