The Smith’s Morrissey has criticised US President’s Barack Obama over the President’s annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon by writing down an open letter regarding the issue. The open letter entitled “Thankskilling” was posted on Morrissey’s fan site True To You. In it, Morrissey attacks America’s animal rights record, claiming that 45 million turkeys are “horrifically abused” at Thanksgiving and that the annual holiday “supports torture”. Read full content of the letter below:
Thankskilling
Please ignore the abysmal example set by President Obama who, in the name of Thanksgiving, supports torture as 45 million birds are horrifically abused; dragged through electrified stun baths, and then have their throats slit. And President Obama laughs. Haha, so funny! As Ingrid Newkirk from PETA points out, turkey 'meat' is one of "our nation's top killers", causing heart-attacks and strokes in humans due to saturated animal fats and cholesterol. And President Obama laughs. Further, the meat industry is responsible for 51% of human-caused greenhouse-gas emission, therefore the embarrassingly stupid White House 'turkey pardon' is open support for a viciously cruel and environmentally irresponsible industry. And President Obama laughs.
