Morrissey has slammed Beyonce at a recent gig, saying that her handbags are leading to the extinction of the rhino.
Before playing the Smiths' hit 'Meat Is Murder', Morrissey introduced the song by blaming Beyonce's animal skin handbags for the near extinction of the rhino.
He said, "The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it's not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It's because of Beyonce's handbags. So, God bless the rhino."
This isn't the first time that Beyonce has been criticised for her fondness of animal skin. Beyonce's bodysuit at the Super Bowl was made out of python, iguana and cow skin and she also recently was spotted wearing custom designed 'King Bey' sneakers, which are made from crocodile and anaconda skins, stingray, ostrich and calf hair.
The Isabel Marant wedge sneakers are custom-designed by Perfectly Made Kicks, and Beyonce can often be seen wearing a pair in black.
Watch the video of Morrissey speaking out against Beyonce below:
PETA gave a statement on the shoes, saying, "These custom-made kicks come with a high price and it's paid by the various animals who were beaten and skinned alive or cruelly farmed and killed.
"Although most people aren't as familiar with the types of animals (snakes, stingrays, crocodiles, and ostriches) killed for this single pair of sneakers as they are with the cats and dogs we share our homes with, these animals are highly sensitive living beings who try hard to avoid capture and suffer enormously when trapped, netted, speared and skinned alive.
"We hope that Beyonce will choose to wear more clothes from her own clothing line, which features faux fur, and that one day, she'll go completely cruelty-free. She can always choose the cruelty-free and green fashion favored by compassionate, chic celebrities such as Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway and designers such as award-winning fashion queen Stella McCartney."
