Why exactly Morrissey thinks it's fine to openly talk about killing people, when even insulting a chicken is a mortal sin remains unclear, but it's definitely not like he's pulling a Swiftian fast-one, and turning our hunger for meat back on ourselves, through a perverse filter. Which he would probably claim he was.
