De Confrontatie, a release in native Dutch and Meat Is Murder are both covers of the original by The Smiths, which first appeared on the eponymous album in 1985, produced by The Smiths.

Facebookgroup “Music Against Animal Abuse“ is welcoming everyone, inviting all musicians, bands, composers, songwriters and DJ’s to share their music, music videos and art for all to listen to, to see and to share to help making that difference.

Please feel free to upload songs and art you discover, with respect for the artist, which you think need to be seen and heard.

All art shared must have a clear musical voice for the animals and/or a clear musical voice against all kinds of animal suffering affected by inhuman actions.

The story behind “Music Against Animal Abuse” is the recent release of two songs, “De Confrontatie” and “Meat Is Murder”, both adaptations of the original “Meat Is Murder” by Morrissey and Marr in the wake of this anthem.

If there is more music written against animal suffering out there, where is it? How come it is never played?

So let’s release more songs that could help make a difference or at least find the songs that might exist but seldom played. Let’s get these songs out there and let them be heard!

To every one, please join in! Go to “Music Against Animal Abuse” and share your sympathy, your thoughts, your feelings in favor of the animals by uploading (your) music, new, covers or existing, art, lyrics, poems, etc in this group. Sharing is deeply appreciated and your contribution will also be shared as a thank you on my personal profile.

For all animals, for all humans…for the world. Because we must.

Music and art shared in this group must have a clear voice for the animals and/or a clear voice against all kinds of animal suffering affected by inhuman actions. Content that glorifies violence or worships the suffering or humiliation of all living kind is not allowed.

“As long as the horrors in all slaughterhouses and the maltreatment and suffering of animals for the slice of meat, fish and poultry on the plate, or for what ever other reasons exist, “Meat Is Murder”, the revealing truth-based song written by Morrissey and Marr and released by The Smiths in 1984, must be passed on. Besides “Meat Is Murder” there aren’t any songs about needless slaughter and abuse of animals to be found and that is a missed opportunity and a shame. For musicians, artists, bands, composers, songwriters are in strong position to give their musical voices and arts to the animals and through releasing music and art against animal abuse about all atrocities inside as well as outside the slaughterhouses, we are able to make that change for the animals, whom we should consider all as our friends.”

DE CONFRONTATIE (Lyrics/Tekst)

ALS EEN KIND DAT HUILT
BANG EN ALLEEN
TOCH KOMT, HET MES , STEEDS DICHTERBIJ.
DIT PRACHTIGE KIND HET MOET LIJDEN
DIT PRACHTIGE DIER MOET DOOD
EEN ‘DOOD ZONDER REDE’
EN ‘DOOD ZONDER REDE’ IS DOODSLAG.

WANT HET VLEES DAT JE BLOOTSTELT AAN VUUR
IS NIET SAPPIG, ONMISBAAR OF PUUR
MAAR DOOD ZONDER REDE
EN DOOD ZONDER REDE IS DOODSLAG.

EN HET KALF DAT JE KLIEFT OP JE BORD
OOK DOODSLAG
EN DE VOGELS NODELOOS
OOK DOODSLAG.

ALS JE ZIET HOE DIEREN DOODGAAN.

DE WAARHEID IS CONFRONTEREND
NIET GERUSTSTELLEND, PIJNLOOS OF REIN.
HET IS GUTSEND BLOED MET DE GODLOZE STANK VAN DOODSLAG.
NIET NATUURLIJK, NORMAAL OF GEZOND
IN HET SLACHTHUIS  WORDT MASSAMOORD GESMOORD
VOOR HET VLEES IN JE MOND
MET DE ZIELLOZE SMAAK VAN DOODSLAG.

NODELOOS. HET IS DOODSLAG.
NODELOOS.

DOODSLAG.
