Morrissey attacks Australian plan to cull 2 million feral cats

The British singer says the plan, which the government says will save endangered native animals, 'is taking idiocy just too far'

British singer Morrissey is a seasoned animal rights advocate and, heaven knows, he's now miserable about Australia's plan to slaughter 2 million cats.

Morrissey has called an Australian government plan to cull feral cats "idiocy", calling the animals smaller versions of Cecil the lion, the noted Zimbabwe-based predator who was shot by a US dentist in July, sparking outrage.
