Not-so charming Morrissey lashes Canada over ‘barbaric’ seal cull

MORRISSEY has vowed not to play in Canada in protest at the country’s “barbaric and cruel” annual seal hunt.

The singer called for a boycott of Canadian goods, joining the growing list of celebrities speaking out against the cull, in which baby seals are shot or clubbed to death.

He said the argument that the hunt - which began on Saturday - was necessary because it provided work for local communities was flawed, saying building Nazi gas chambers had also provided jobs.
