Glastonbury Festival is not animal friendly

barbarism begins at home

Last year the artist Banksy burst into the Glastonbury Festival with his very clever moving art-piece called Sirens of the Lambs, which shows the screaming faces of lambs crying out from a truck bound for slaughter of the most unimaginably corrupt and vicious savagery.
Michael Eavis, the gentlemanly God of Glastonbury, was not impressed.
"Is it some kind of animal rights thing?" he asked, pretending not to understand what the rest of us saw so clearly. No, Michael, it was a preview of the UK entry for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest…

"Our cows are actually very happy," Michael Eavis, now suddenly Dr. Dolittle, assured reporters, "they have the highest milk yield in the county."
What Michael Eavis meant by this statement was: WE are economically very happy because our cows have the highest milk yield in the county. No Glastonbury cow was available for comment, and no cows were heard laughing. Dr. Eavis equates milk yield as a sign of happiness, we note.

In order to 'have the highest milk yield in the county', a cow must be persistently 'raped' against its will (a logical assumption), or it must be artificially inseminated from the age of 13 months onwards, or injected with bovine growth hormone. The latter is banned (that is, frowned upon) in the UK, but since farmers pay no heed to the law when it comes to gassing badgers, shooting foxes or hunting, then we're safe to assume that the bovine growth hormone practice continues. In the UK, the farmers' financial gluttony is unassailably up there with the holy scriptures.
Dairy cows are not allowed to not be in lactation because then their milk production decreases and they do not produce enough milk to justify the cost of their board and lodgings. Therefore, cows are repeatedly raped and raped and raped … which Michael Eavis presumably thinks is a great way to make sentient beings happy. Dairy cows are only allowed to live for as long as they are useful to the farmer, which is about 4 years. If left alone, the cow could live for 20 years.
I assume that the dairy cows at Glastonbury who no longer yield milk are brought into the home of Michael Eavis and allowed to sit down and watch Emmerdale until they gently pass away in their later years, because, after all, Michael insists that Glastonbury cows are "very happy."
In truth, of course, as soon as a cow is a substandard producer of milk, she and her friends are sent off to have their throats slit.
We can easily imagine Michael Eavis waving the cattle truck off, and we can see his cows being "very happy" about that, and waving back to Michael.
A male calf produced by a dairy cow is immediately shot, or raised to be murdered for beef, or allowed no daylight during its entire short lifespan where it is trapped in a crate, unable to move, and thus the creation of veal. After calving, newborns are hit on the head with a hammer or pulled away from their mothers after just one day together, which causes explosive stress to both mother and baby. Does Michael Eavis approve of this? It appears so. Milk is worse than "meat" because on dairy farms the cows are tortured for YEARS before they are killed. Calves are pulled away from their mothers by dragging the calf with one leg, both mother and calf in a state of chaotic distress.
Does Michael Eavis at his Glastonbury Farm accommodate any cows at all that do not yield money his way? I doubt it. Off with their heads!
Does Michael Eavis care about the insane environmental damage caused by dairy farming? I doubt it. To hell with the environment! People who do not care about animal rights usually do not care about human rights. It naturally follows.
Should you actually agree to play at the Glastonbury Festival you might find visual arts expert Michael Eavis meddling with your presentations. In 2011 I played Glastonbury and attempted to sing the song Meat is murder. Behind me, a screen that usually shows the many evils of factory farming remained blank. I was told that Michael Eavis had stopped the screening of the film because it wasn't indicative of how his dairy farm operated. He didn't quite understand that the poor souls in the actual film did not want to be there in the first place. Michael Eavis also went on to justify banning the film by saying it would "upset" younger people. What Michael Eavis was saying, in effect, was:

it's OK for our belly, but not for our eyes … and at all costs don't educate anyone on animal cruelty because it might damage the financial profits of our happy Glastonbury Farm.

If he had thought the film gave an incorrect view of dairy farming, he wouldn't have cared if the film had been shown, but he banned the film because he knew the film was truth.

Like most animal haters, Michael appears to be one of those people who love dead animals, yet hate live ones. How is this sane, or logical, or possible?
If dogs and cats aren't 'food', then why are cows and sheep? The BBC recently made a terrible fuss when some unfortunate dogs were allegedly poisoned at Crufts - which, yes, was abysmal. But the BBC had no concern or report on the 40,000 piglets whose throats were slit in the UK in that very same week.
Why is the latter not a BBC story? Why is a poisoned dog at Crufts a story for national lamentation, yet the slaughter of 40,000 screaming piglets is not mentioned anywhere on any known news program?
If a dog is not food, then why is a pig?
Well, you might argue that 'oooh I love bacon', but if you love the pig dead, why do you not love the pig while it is alive, and why do you not protect it from slaughter … if you "love" "bacon" so much? Surely if you eat animals it's because you hate rather than love them?
Is a cat 'food'? No. So why is a lamb?
We have been trained and brainwashed to believe that some animals deserve to be killed and some don't, and much advertising effort is put into the hope that we do not ever decide for ourselves. No celebrity vegetarian chefs on the BBC! There is also heavy reliance on the hope that humans never quite become intelligent enough to understand that both humans and animals have natural rights. After all, as Gary Yourofsky brilliantly observed: if you remove bees or ants from the planet the entire cycle of life is damaged, but if you remove human beings from the planet then the entire planet will prosper and be saved.
Should we care that factory farming (which isn't farming at all - it's an industry very much like any other) is irrefutably linked to cancer in humans? Are you aware that the "country smell" so powerful in idyllic areas is actually the smell of mass slaughter of animals? Does anyone actually believe that the badger kill (not 'cull') is a move to protect cows, or to protect godly farmers' income? Are you aware that the virus of factory farming causes more greenhouse gas emissions than all combined forms of motorized transport? Of course you're not, for if you knew how much the "meat" industry is destroying the planet, well, you might grow wise to the biggest threat to your own life.

Like many animal haters, Michael Eavis was awarded a CBE by Elizabeth Battenberg (you have been ordered to address her as The Queen) in 2007. In 2005 he expressed how it was "outrageous to ban hunting". For such as Michael Eavis, there just cannot be enough bloodshed. More! More! More! Kill! Kill! Kill! Would he object if the hunters were also hunted?

Animal rights is now the leading social justice issue on the planet. Your decision is whether you support either the butcher or the butchered. It cannot be both.

can someone please help? perhaps CG can make sense of this turn of events..im not sure if i defend moz on this latest post would somehow aligning myself behind benny and brummie, when we were just recently attacking them the cheese postion newly adopted by moz on this vingtage tty post.
 
Re: True to You: Glastonbury

I am actually slightly convinced that he might read and respond to this site. I've wondered that on several occasions. Which horrifies me to no end.

Why are you horrified? He clearly does read this site as my previous comment about his reaction to KAL,PATSE & AIMMN shows. I look forward to your learned views on his latest statement about animal welfare.

Great, another KFC, McDonalds, Burger King eating New York Yankees cap wearing fat Brit infatuated with meat and killing animals. Just what the world needs.

Morrissey still drinks milk and he could never give up Parmesan cheese or any cheese for that matter. He just is stating that dairy cows should not be treated bad.

One thing the Morrissey stalkers should get from this, is that he spends a lot of time on youtube now. Maybe you can send him secret messages, like where the best Italian restaurants are when he is touring.

You might want to actually read the statement. Nobody reading it could imagine he will ever drink animal milk or eat cheese again.

Did anyone hear about that horrible fire over at morrissey-solo? Nobody was harmed, thank God, but sadly, quite a few of Brummie Boy's straw men went up in flames. :lbf:

Really? Perhaps you'd like to provide evidence to back up that bizarre claim? Take your time.

Man he is tough going sometimes. The Glasgow gig was my 26th. He finished with meat is murder... There was little call for an encore.. Quite embarrassing.. The crowd party shocked/offended/bored
The obvious thing to think, is that's he's been turned down for Glastonbury ? He is that childish.. The money and fame allow him to behave like he does.. With little reguard for anyone but himself... The constant falling out with everyone, labels , friends, musicians it's boring now. The cancellations, Alan Carr fiasco.. The attacking the queen? Why care that much about her? I Couldint care less.. It's just boring, he's getting boring. The thing is the new album is ok! Some great stuff on it... But his latest aimed rant is just YAWN

benny and brummie were way ahead of the curve on this one, with moz finally coming to his senses.
congrats, benny and brummie, well done.

Thank you. It's nice to be appreciated, but 'chrisjones1579' isn't going to be pleased by your compliment. LOL!

That's why he had a soy latte in LA and rice milk on his rider.

Troll.

His change in conceptual framework is recent. He had cheese on his rider for Zagreb in Dec 2014, after L.A. I hope that clarifies the timeline for you.

Ha ha silly Steven you wanker ! YOU and YOUR act performed on this very farm, not once but twice, how shady is that you phoney stroker.
Everybody is laughing at you now, we all know your all about the cheese you crankfraud.
Barry Manilow is taking all the headlines at the moment ! Haven't you heard ? He's just announced he's got married to his manager but sadly he's not homosexual but he's more a managersexual, oh well who cares did I tell you I'm a meatsexual.
How's your Nephew by the way Sam Whats-he-Called, is all this claptrap to divert attention from him and his shitty i-phone utube footage ?
I've got a new design for your t-shirt stall ! FRONT A picture of your head (black n white) without your syrup and the slogan "TITS AND CHEESE AND CROCK AND ROLL"
REVERSE "OUR CRANK"

Cheesed to be of assistance good to see the cancer isn't holding you back

Benny, I have great admiration for your stylish comments, but he's clearly given up eating cheese.

I'm sorry, but I *definitely* think the timing of this now is due to the constant barrage of posts regarding Morrissey's cheesy/dairy consumption here.
Obviously he hates this site - but he must, occasionally - have a quick glance. If only out of morbid curiosity. And pretty much any story he would have looked at would have descended into cheese/rants by page 2.
I think he might just have finally realised he needs to stop eating dairy, and be public about it, to stop people calling him a hypocritical bastard.

He's unlikely to acknowledge this site if any of the passionate debates of 'Cheesegate' hosted here in the last few months have informed his thinking. But it's most likely he does read some of the more sensible comments. What artist wouldn't want direct, unmediated feedback from their audience? I disagree with you characterisation of these discussions as 'rants'. It's always difficult when consensus group-think is challenged. Many thoughtful and committed 'vegetarians' remain ignorant of the facts of dairy or unable to face the terrible horror of it due to societal and family pressures. Carnism is the oldest religion on the planet so it's not surprising that even Morrissey remained ensnared in it's tentacles for 3 decades after composing 'Meat Is Murder'.

i was greatly alarmed at first when accessing true to you, i feared that brummie had hacked the site and posted his cheesegate theories directly there.
i took me some time to realize that moz had absorbed the brummie/benny cheese is murder philosophy and made it his own.when will wonders cease?

An amusing and provocative comment which will bring out my detractors in full armour! But, no, they are not 'my' ideas. You might enjoy the links to Melanie Joy and her conceptualisation of 'Carnism' which I've linked to in a comment above. The video about the Golden Retriever Dinner Party Menu is very well done.

There is no such thing as coincidence in Morrissey's world. There is cause and effect.

I think the key to this is that Eavis is the target. Morrissey has played Glastonbury twice before, as recently as 2011, seemingly without any trepidation. I remember that performance because at the end Morrissey, Tobias and the band ritually slaughtered This Charming Man, without using a stun gun.

We know Morrissey is in festival mood and suddenly this crops up out of nowhere so my guess is Morrissey got rebuffed by the Glastonbury organisers, who have presumably already filled the Saturday afternoon Sing-A-Long-A-Max "Where are they now?" spot with Liza Minelli or Lulu.
 
first cheese and milky products were in, now suddenly its reversed and we cannot eat.
i have to discard all dairy products overnight.
first we had to be gay. then gayness was out and asexuality was in, then out and in came humasexuality.
now we are to go straight, after all these years and lust after grade c hot dancing models?
what next, accept jesus christ as our lord and saviour as well, as now moz is sporting religious paraphernalia?

my thoughts exactly, that he figured the booking fee in his account when they rebuffed his inquiries.
 
Well Brummie let's just see how this pans out. If he has listened to us maybe he will acknowledge us with a cryptic sign or mention us and the online hateful creché in volume two.

im terribly afraid that benny is right, you could NOT make this up, if you were writing a shakespearean tragedy. after spending much time defending moz against the accusations lobbed at him by benny and brummie he takes up their cause directly.

furthermore, he has played glaston several times himself, how hypocritcal is that, is it that he was turned down wanting to return, and wishes he had the pay day.

What do you mean? Benny is a Carnivore, a butcher. I am a Vegan. My cause is to end the Death Cult Religion Of Carnism, Benny has his own views. We share some common ground, but differ wildly on other issues.

I wasn't aware that the plug was pulled on the 'Meat Is Murder' video at Glastonbury. That puts into context his obstinate insistence on playing it at every gig. It really is helpful when he provides some context. He's played twice, in 84? and 13? supporting U2. His performance was broadcast on BBC, I think Morrissey would do well to look towards Broadcasting House as another source of censorship for banning MIM at Glasto. I'm surprised he hasn't taken an axe to 'Countryfile' yet. They act as the main propaganda machine for Carnism In The UK. Hey, a new song:

"Carnism In The UK
it's end is coming soon and on that day:
'Countryfile' presenters burnt on bales of hay"

Etc. You get the drift of it.

Countryfile's Farming Heroes Award 2015


p02j3dzt.jpg


Thank you to everyone who sent us a suggestion for Countryfile’s Farming Heroes Award 2015. The award is for a farmer or farming family who’s gone the extra mile – someone who will make us all proud. The judges, including Countryfile’s own farming treasure Adam Henson, have now picked their three finalists and will visit each of them on the programme during April.

So Moz drinks soy instead which boosts the female hormone Estrogen giving men gynecomastia (manboobs). With his see through shirts I hope he chooses a sexy bra.

The scare stories about soy are sponsored by the Meat Industry. If you're worried, switch to almond, coconut or oat milk.

This isn't about me, Benny or Morrissey. It's about the animals, all of them, including us human animals. We are destroying this planet through Carnism. Watch the wonderful video that Morrissey linked to.

Re: True to You: Glastonbury

Looks like Benny's milk posts have got to him.

P.

So you're saying Morrissey reads, and is influenced by, the Morrissey-Solo posts of someone you once desperately wanted to--and threatened to--ban.

Shouldn't you really be "off," then?

The Glastonbury dates are June 24-28 and at that time Morrissey will be touring in the US. The 27th he plays the Madison Square Garden.

I know. It's confusing as Hell. This time last month, I was eating Dairylea in gay nightclubs with the rest of the Moz fans, now I've had to cancel the milk and start dating lingerie models. Female ones, with vaginas and everything! I've also had to start buying records by Blondie, Cliff Richard and Tom Jones.

What next Morrissey?!? Where will this madness end!?!

I think you're right here Johnny if it was just a statement about milk and dairy fair enough but the whole Glastonbury/Eavis poking suggests ' the British music industry is once again ganging up on him '.

Why don't you enlighten us on what meat eaters feel towards animals. Love and respect? Ha! You sound like a callous and unremorseful killer, just like your pal Michael Eavis!

If Morrissey believes the average person eat animals because she hates them, then, he really doesn't understand people (we shouldn't be surprised by this). He goes from making these silly presumptions to patronising arrogance and ignorance about reader's knowledge of the world...

He was enraged by The BRITS so it's likely he is also enraged by the bill at Glastonbury. He was NEVER invited back after 84. He only returned to the Pyramid at the express invitation/demand of U2. It's clear he feels that's because of Eavis's Evil Dairy Empire.
