"Serving meat and dairy products at an event to combat climate change is like selling pistols at a gun-control rally," the former Smiths frontman writes. "Your responsibility is to alert people to a crisis, not sell out to the vendors responsible for it."
Morrissey has famously requested that the venues that he play be completely meat free.
"Since you can't miss the fact that meat consumption is killing the planet -- your own sponsor organization, the United Nations, states this -- and since venues can and will cater vegan food for events, if you choose to serve animal flesh at Live Earth, you'll be making a mockery of the very concept of the event, in which case it should be renamed Dead Earth: We Contributed!'" Morrissey continues.
Live Earth 2015 will be held, meat-free or not, on June 18 across six continents for 24 hours.
