“If that footage was hard for u to watch, I encourage u to pls take a look at [yourself]. Like I am so tired of standing up for/having empathy for living beings being controversial.
“[Please] continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance and denial and try to convince urself that [you’re] not living a lie.”
Eilish’s posts come after she spoke about her diet in a video interview with Elle magazine.
The singer was asked, “What’s one hill you’d die on?” and she replied: “Ya’ll ain’t gonna like me for this one. Eating meat is inherently wrong.
“Two things cannot coincide: ‘I love all animals so much and I eat meat’. Sorry – you could eat meat, go for it, you could love animals, but you can’t do both.”
Eilish, who recently released a new concert movie Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour Live in 3D, previously opened up about her stance on eating meat in a post on her Instagram Stories alongside footage taken at a US dairy farm.
She wrote: “I keep my mouth shut most of the time about this because I believe everyone should do, eat, and say whatever they want … and I don’t feel the need to shove what I believe in in anyone’s face.
“But man … if you can watch the videos that I just posted and not give a f*** that it’s YOU contributing by LITERALLY EATING the creatures that are being fully tortured just for your pleasure. I feel sorry for you.
“I understand that meat tastes good … and I know you think you’re just one person and it ‘won’t change anything if you stop’. But that’s ignorant and stupid.
“If you have half a brain, you should know ‘one person’ adds up.”
