You have to appreciate the unnecessary drama Morrissey causes when he gets in a mood. Because he never uses any leather goods in his day-to-day life.

Choose your battles, old bean.

    It is more than likely that Morrissey doesn't wear leather anymore (latest proof - that interview in Spin?), so don't use that argument.

    He is in BIG troubles. In Sicily they do not tolerate these things. Expect blokes in "gessato" suits to reach him in Bollate and give him a lesson.
    I do remember McDonalds ads on the tickets for an old tour.

        Morrissey spotted police using truncheons on a herd of Cows in Portsmouth, the Tour has been cancelled due to Police brutality, the cows had been drinking apparently.

            He does not wear leather anymore. For all you people and canadians who get all pissy over what the decisions he makes: You don't have to listen to Morrissey, you don't have to post on a fan website devoted to him, and you don't have to respect his politics. Just respect his talent which most of you whiners don't seem to do.

            I always wonder why there's so much venom in the reactions when Moz takes a stand against something he really believes in. Do you feel guilty or something? It's the only plausible reason I can think of why you slag him off about this issue.

                We would like to inform you about Carpisa.
                Carpisa is a neapolitan company which has decided to support our event in the last two years.

                During the Neapolis Festival, Carpisa promotes its spring-summer collection of bags.
                These bags DON’T CONTAIN ANY KIND OF LEATHER coming from animals.
                They use synthetic materials.
                Moreover, Carpisa pays attention to the ecological issues!
                During spring and summer seasons, Carpisa donates 1% of its gains to the plans of safeguard of the marine turtles!
                In the end we think that Carpisa has an ethical behaviour which is not in contrast with the ideals of the Artist that we – as Neapolis Festival – understand and appreciate.

                  OK I own a leather belt and a pair of leather shoes but how can anyone justify eating meat?? It corrodes your senses and makes you unhealthy. Once you've been a vegetarian for some time you feel sick when you see or smell flesh. Meat is not nutricious food, it does not belong to us and it's abnormal to eat meat. Most of the time it's been stored for a long time, it comes from steroid-fed animals and it's bad for your mind and body. I have to look away and not breathe in when I walk past my local butchers.
