Morrissey has accused The Simpsons of "hatred" and "complete ignorance" after he was parodied in a recent episode.
In a letter on his website, the star called the show "a taunting lawsuit" but said he did not have the money to fund a legal action.
The episode, which aired in the US on Sunday, revolved around a vegan British indie singer, called Quilloughby.
After Lisa Simpson fell in love with his ideals, he was revealed to be a meat-eating, overweight xenophobe.
In a scene towards the end of the episode, he is seen at a festival eating a pastrami sandwich and firing sausages into the audience, saying he stopped being vegan when he discovered it was "invented by foreigners".
