Morrissey brands Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis an "animal-hater"

has criticised Glastonbury and its founder for not being "animal friendly".

The singer slammed Michael Eavis for being an "animal-hater", after he apparently prevented a video showing "the evils of factory farming" during a performance at the festival in 2011.

"I was told that Michael Eavis had stopped the screening of the film because it wasn't indicative of how his dairy farm operated," Morrisey wrote on fansite True To You.

"Michael Eavis also went on to justify banning the film by saying it would 'upset' younger people. What Michael Eavis was saying, in effect, was: 'It's OK for our belly, but not for our eyes … and at all costs don't educate anyone on animal cruelty because it might damage the financial profits of our happy Glastonbury Farm.'

"If he had thought the film gave an incorrect view of dairy farming, he wouldn't have cared if the film had been shown, but he banned the film because he knew the film was truth.

"Like most animal haters, Michael appears to be one of those people who love dead animals, yet hate live ones."

The former Smiths singer continued: "Michael Eavis was awarded a CBE by Elizabeth Battenberg (you have been ordered to address her as The Queen) in 2007.

"In 2005 he expressed how it was 'outrageous to ban hunting'. For such as Michael Eavis, there just cannot be enough bloodshed. More! More! More! Kill! Kill! Kill! Would he object if the hunters were also hunted?"

Earlier this year, the 55-year-old took aim at Madonna and the "bogus" Brit Awards.
