Queen guitarist Brian May comforted a cat during its last moments on Earth.

According to The Lancaster Guardian, May was driving when he approached the cat lying in the road. He spent about a half an hour with it, stroking it until it died.

According to one source, about 5.4 million cats are hit by cars a year, which is more than the number euthanized in shelters. Pet owners can completely prevent this tragedy by simply keeping their cats–and dogs–inside. Invest in an invisible fence if your cat is the kind to enjoy fresh air.

Below is a video in which a veterinarian demonstrates ways to protect a cat that has been hit by a vehicle until it can get proper veterinary care. This is important for stabilization reasons–any movement involving the spine could result in fatal damage.The Dr. also discusses common injuries that take place during cat-vehicle collisions. Many cats turn to face the car just before they are hit, resulting in brain trauma and altered mental status.

Out Magazine, one of the leading gay fashion and lifestyle brands, has named musician Rufus Wainwright as one of its top 100 movers and shakers and otherwise notable people in LGBTQ community.

The last time we checked, Wainwright was going vegetarian because he discovered eating meat was much like eating his pet dog. Plus, there was his abnormally high cholesterol to be dealt with.

“It’s been 12 years since Rufus Wainwright released his self-titled debut album to a torrent of critical acclaim. Since then, Wainwright’s career trajectory has been anything but expected,” writes OUT.

Troy Gentry, 1/2 of the musical duo Montgomery Gentry, has posted a hand-written apology for the incident involving him killing a black bear, the video of which has circulated the Internet and drawn ire from animal lovers everywhere.

However, it seems as if Troy is more sorry for simply doing something illegal to the bear that killing it in the manner in which he did and watching it slowly bleed to death. You be the judge.

A 2004 video of Troy Gentry, of the country music band Montgomery Gentry, killing a bear and watching it bleed to death is circulating on animal welfare sites. The animal rights group SHark (Showing Animals Respect and Kindness) obtained it after a legal battle with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The tape was finally released under the Freedom of Information Act.

After shooting the bear located on a wildlife connection owned by Lee Greenly, Gentry can be heard in the background saying things like, “Wow! What an experience. This is awesome.”

In 2006, Gentry stuck a deal that resulted in a fine of $15,000 and three months of probation, in addition to being forced to hand over the stuffed bear and the bow used to kill him to authorities in exchange for avoiding more serious charges. The owner of the wildlife land also was charged. As with many videos showing animals dying, these aren’t easy to watch.

More video after the jump.
