Morrissey has caused controversy once again for praising a bull after it gored who he deemed as a 'serial killer' matador.
The Smiths turned solo star, who has a song called 'The Bullfighter Dies' and who showed footage of matadors being attacked by bulls on big screens on his recent tour, took to fan site and official mouthpiece True To You to pen a lengthy message to criticise Karla de los Angeles - a bull fighter who was recently gored in action last month.
"I felt delight this week to see serial killer Karla de los Angeles justifiably gored in a bullring in Mexico City against her largely defenseless opponent,” he wrote. “Make no mistake: there is no such thing as bullfighting."
He continued: "For the torment and slaughter of each bull there is an avowed plan and a strict script, so therefore there is no possibility of a contest of any kind. Yet there is the illusion of contest and action even if the order of events is very efficient – so efficient, in fact, that whenever the bull “wins” it is reported that the event has ‘gone wrong’.
"Driven by perverted impulse, Karla de los Angeles wants to kill another being that has actually posed no threat to her, and her radio comment following this week’s failed attempt to out-wit a dying bull had de los Angeles confessing: “I am sad because I could not cut off the bull’s ear,."
Morrissey added: "Well, Karla, please understand this: we are sad that the bull did not come away with YOUR ear."
