Meatless Mouthful–Brian May On Wales Badger Cull Decision
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 21st, 2010 in Animal Issues, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.
“This is a disappointment, of course. But not just for thousands of innocent badgers. The irony is that it is ultimately a tragedy for farmers, too – the very farmers who have been pushing for badgers to be culled. The decision to cull cannot lead to any significant long-term gain in the fight against bovine TB, even with the complete extermination of our native badgers. I believe all this will be seen in a few years time for what it is … a tragic wrong turn which did nothing to solve the problem of TB in cattle.”
–Brian May, Queen guitarist, PhD, vegetarian and animal activist on the recent decision of the a judge to reject a legal challenge against a cull of badgers in Wales in an attempt to control bovine TB.

Guitar phenom Brian may is irrefutably correct in asserting that a badger
cull is tantamount to genocide of an innocent and wondrous animal.
