"Morrissey has declared that he thinks Damien Hirst&amp;#039;s head should be &amp;quot;kept in a bag&amp;quot; for using dead animals in his work. The singer, who is a staunch vegetarian, slammed the artist during a discussion with friend and longtime associate Linder Sterling for Interview. Hirst&amp;#039;s art has notoriously included a dead cow and calf sliced into pieces and placed in a glass container, a rotting bull as well as a dead tiger shark encased in formaldehyde. Morrissey spoke of his disgust at the work, before asking Sterling for her opinion. &amp;quot;I dislike the &amp;#039;use&amp;#039; of animals in art, such as in the work of Damien Hirst,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But in your latest performance piece, &amp;#039;Your Actions Are My Dreams&amp;#039;, you have a woman serenely sitting atop a calmly satisfied horse, which is, of course, alive and healthy. Do you agree that Hirst&amp;#039;s head should be kept in a bag for the way he&amp;#039;s utilised \u00E2\u20AC\u201C and sold \u00E2\u20AC\u201C dead animals?&amp;quot; Sterling appeared to agree with Morrissey&amp;#039;s sentiment, as she answered: &amp;quot;Dead butterflies, cows, horses, humans, sheep and sharks \u00E2\u20AC\u201C it reads like the inventory of a funerary Noah. How many halved calves suspended in formaldehyde does the world need? To my way of thinking, none.&amp;quot; The former Smiths star added: &amp;quot;The media obsession with Hirst&amp;#039;s millions, I think, reduces him to mere factory outlet.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Morrissey: &amp;#039;The mind is limited sexually&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
