Animal rights organization PETA is blasting Noel Gallagher for his recent comments about cows in his grandmother's town in Ireland.
While speaking with The Sun, the High Flying Birds frontman said he's never been friendly with the bovine natives.
"At my grandma's in Mayo we'd run around throwing stuff at cows. See, we don't get cows in Manchester, so if you see one you just throw stuff at them. I'm looking forward to bringing my sons over so they can throw stuff at cows as well," Gallagher commented.
PETA was quick to respond to the comments, however, noting that Noel should consider counseling for his inhumane inclinations:
"A father whose idea of a family vacation includes traumatizing animals who are minding their own business should undergo empathy counseling. It doesn't take a 'godlike genius' to realize that parents have an obligation to teach their children respect for all living beings and that they are creating monsters if they don't teach understanding."
