PETA have hit out at Mark E Smith over his claims that he has killed squirrels in his back garden.

Speaking to Gigwise, PETA spokesperson Violet Owens slammed The Fall frontman for killing “defenceless” animals. Not only this, but she called him a “has-been” and pleaded to the courts to deal with him strongly. 

She told us: “Nothing says inferiority complex like a fully grown man harming a defenceless animal who weighs only a few ounces and whose only defence is to run away.

“Animals have the same capacity to feel fear and pain that humans do, of course, and they should have the right not to be cruelly attacked and killed by a has-been singer.

“PETA strongly advises that Mark seek help for his anger issues before anyone else gets hurt and hopes the court throws the book at him.”

Smith made the controversial comments in an interview with Uncut magazine. Since its publication the RSPCA have threatened to take legal action against the singer.

  • Ever tried to catch a squirrel? They are quick! Quicker than him I’d say, so take these claims with a pinch of salt and get on with sorting out real animal cruelty issues. (For example, most councils will rent out squirrel traps which catch the squirrel alive. As it is illegal to release a grey squirrel back into the wild......guess what they do to them.)

  • Oh for pity’s sake. He’s been saying the first thing that came into his head in interviews for thirty years. Get over it.
