Frankly any excuse to use a picture of Morrissey on Hippyshopper, but especially one of him wearing a cat on his head - is that the worst wig you've ever seen?
Anyway, despite looking a bit, well, eccentric, it's all for a good cause: to end animal testing for new cosmetics sold in the European Union.
Explains Morrissey: "Say no to injecting, force-feeding or forcing animals to inhale substances for a new lipstick or shampoo. Please join me in signing the BUAV No Cruel Cosmetics petition to stop the sale of new animal tested cosmetics in the EU."
Despite UK and EU bans on animal testing for cosmetics, products can still be tested on animals in other parts of the world and then imported and sold in the EU. A marketing ban which would end this cruelty is due to come into effect in 2013.
However, it is now in danger of being delayed, thereby putting thousands more animals at risk, who will continue to suffer and die needlessly in cruel tests for new beauty products sold in the EU.
A delay could mean that hundreds of thousands more rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats will be injected, gassed or force-fed cosmetics worldwide for new beauty products sold in the EU, including the UK.
Morrissey joins a number of high profile celebrities to sign the No Cruel Cosmetics petition, including Sir Paul McCartney, Sienna Miller, Jodie Kidd, Jenny Seagrove and Kimberly Wyatt.
The No Cruel Cosmetics petition has over 140,000 signatories. It can be found at NoCruelCosmetics.org
The BUAV (British Union Against Vivisection) Chief Executive, Michelle Thew, stated: "We are delighted that Morrissey is helping the BUAV save animals from suffering and death in tests for cosmetics products sold in the EU. Please join him to help us end this cruelty. Add your name to the BUAV petition at www.NoCruelCosmetics.org today."
I do like a bit of Morrissey,and he looks surprisingly good in a cat- good cause too. All round win.
