Ex-Smiths Singer Asks Queen to Remove Fur from Guards’ Hats
05 August 2010A longtime vegetarian (The Smiths’ Meat is Murder was released in 1985), Morrissey has penned a letter to The Times as “singer from Cheshire,” appealing to the Queen to stop her guards wearing real fur hats.
Morrissey-solo.com has the entire letter in which he states: “Hats are not worth killing for: guards wearing real fur reflects the human spirit at its lowest. It is difficult not to look to the Queen herself – after all, they are her Guards, and she must surely be aware of the horrific process utilized to supply real bearskins for her Guards. The mere sight of each bearskin hat must surely jab at the Queen’s heart.”
He offered up a solution of faux fur, “(thanks to the visionary Stella McCartney) with no death involved.”
