Guest of "Musique!", Emilie Mazoyer's program on Europe 1, the rapper Stomy Bugsy, vegan for several years, spoke of his fight against animal suffering, criticizing in particular the way animals are treated on farms and slaughterhouses.

INTERVIEW

It is a subject that is close to his heart, and for which he regularly engages, especially on social networks. Rapper Stomy Bugsy became vegan in April 2016. Guest of Emilie Mazoyer on Monday, in Musique! on Europe 1, he explained that he decided to completely abandon the meat after seeing images of animals in the slaughterhouses. "I think that bleeding an animal or bleeding a man is the same thing," says Stomy Bugsy. "In slaughterhouses, the shrill cries of animals slaughtered are the same as those of humans."

For the singer, a taboo persists among the consumer on the way farm animals are treated. "We are almost all vegan. But most people who eat meat do not want to see the images of slaughterhouses, because they know it is wrong," he said. "Farm animals are born in misery and die in misery. […] It is not even livestock, they are in concentration camps: they do not see the light of day, on their skin they will never smell a breath of fresh air. And afterwards, we give that to our children! ", he laments.

In 2018, Stomy Bugsy had participated in a campaign by the association Peta, which campaigns for animal rights. The interpreter of Mon papa à moi is a gangster posed shirtless on the posters, next to the slogan: "What I don't kill makes me stronger." From now on, Stomy Bugsy says he is convinced that the consumption of meat is doomed to decrease, in particular due to the awareness of ecological issues, and awareness campaigns carried out by different associations around animal suffering. "In my opinion in 100 or 200 years, we will hardly eat any more," he concludes.
