  • yeah, forget about all the people he employed, all the tax his organisation paid over the 60 years he was in business for.

    let's just have a go at a dead guy because he killed some fucking turkeys.

    He should've died the way he murdered all those innocent turkeys.

  • You must all be a big bunch of retarded bastards to celebrate the death of someone you never even met. Whatever your convictions or creeds are, you may at least show some respect or remain silent. Sorry to expose this on such a cruel and realistic light, but many, many Mozza fans are meat eaters, whether you like it or not.
    So long narrow-minded low IQ crowd.

    If you start celebrating and gloating over the death of another living creature aren't you displaying the kind of disregard for life that you condemn in carnivores?

  • I had one of his turkeys for dinner last Sunday. It was Bootiful! I also like his Turkey Twizzlers and the sliced turkey you get for putting in sandwiches. Roll on Christmas!

    Some people don't draw a distinction between murdering any living creature, man, woman or beast...you may view them as 'mad', 'extreme', whatever and they'll certainly view you as abhorrent, 'evil' and wrong...thankfully in our society we're mostly allowed to air these views.

    Whatever your views on Mathews and his 'methods', he will not be going down in history as 'animal friendly', quite the reverse in fact...a man for whom profit was both the means and the end.

  • To live to age 80, he wasn't eating the intensively farmed, reconstituted crap he peddled to the supermarkets.

    If you're not bothered about what you put into your body then by all means eat cheap supermarket meat, like Bernard Matthews products - caged animals that sat in their own faeces for most of their life, were pumped full of antibiotics (GCSE biology tells you what happens to chemicals the higher they move up the food chain, they get stronger), had their feet rot away, probably had worms, had plenty of cortisol released into their flesh because of the manner in which they lived and were killed (again, it's stronger when you consume it) and had their carcasses pumped with 30-40% water to bulk them up for sale (something the law doesn't require manufacturers to put on the label).

    However, if you eat meat and value your health, go free range.

  • Did Morrissey know him or something. I fail to see what this has to do with Morrissey, as for him killing turkeys, he's not the only person on the planet to make a living out of meat so what's the big deal? Why so much hate?

    I'm guessing all you people want everyone that's involved with the production of Finders, Walls, etc to die as well?!!! Idiots.

    I never thought that as a vegetarian I would get more annoyed with other vegetarians than meat-eaters.

  • This is a bad thread. Which tastes worse, a Bernard Matthews drumstick or celebrating the death of an 80 year old? Guys, I'm sure there are other much worse people in the world who deserve such posts. I know Morrissey is driven in promoting animal welfare but I'm not so sure he would be celebrating news like this. Not everyone is perfect, even Morrissey...... just a thought.
