Morrissey and Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Are Beefing

Morrissey has written a new letter to Barnaby Joyce, Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, decrying the country’s livestock export industry and asking him to shut it down. And Joyce has quickly responded. “If meat is murder, live export is the slow boat to hell,” the letter reads. “Please pave the way towards a kinder future by putting the live-export industry out of its misery immediately.” Find the full letter here, via PETA.

Joyce fired back: “Mightn’t be a big fan of the Smiths, but I am a great fan of families in WA, NT, & FNQ who rely on our $2 billion live export industry.” Find his tweets below.

Record cattle prices for families in regional Australia – sorry I don’t cut it at Splendour in the Grass, but I accept that.
