Brian May will give a speech titled, “Man as a Wild Animal,” at the annual Animal Aid Christmas Fayre, an event hosted during the holidays featuring cruelty-free, eco-friendly and ethical products available for purchase as gifts at over 85 vendors.

The Christmas Fayre will be held at Kensington Town Hall on December 5th and May’s speech will began at 2:00 PM.

The vegetarian guitarist is behind the campaign, Save Me, meant to educate UK’s voters on the anti-hunting laws that may be repealed if certain political parties have their way.

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.

Brian May is challenging the killer of what was believed to be Britain’s largest animal, a stag known as Exmoor Emperor, to reveal him or herself.

“I’d like to challenge whoever did this to stand up in public and explain why they think that killing a fine beast like this is the right thing to do, because I simply can’t understand it,” May said, according to the Daily Mail.

“I think it’s completely despicable – it’s beyond belief. The idea that someone can pay to kill an animal, to take pleasure in the killing, and then take a part of their anatomy to hang on their wall as a trophy, belongs in the dark ages with bear-baiting and burning witches at the stake.”
