Dallas, Texas –

We’ve received word from Morrissey, a longtime vegetarian, that he plans to deck out his band that night in PETA’s “Meat Is Murder” T-shirts, which reference the title track of the famous Meat Is Murder album that he recorded with The Smiths in 1985. Morrissey plans to show actual slaughterhouse footage during his performance of the song and hopes its message will resonate with concertgoers in Texas, the top beef-producing state in the country. He also plans to have a PETA informational booth on site at all of his concerts.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
