THE WITNESS-EXETER UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE March 2012 p4
THE ENVIRONMENT ISSUE: A PLANET UNDER THREAT? UNDER PRESSURE
Brian May mentions us in the above magazine and also on his website.
Legendary Queen guitarist Dr Brian May explains why animals are just as important to him as music
In your experience from all your years of campaigning what would you say is the most successful way of attracting people’s attention and promoting change?
Well we try to work on various levels. Obviously we try to lobby within Parliament; we have lots of people who are very concerned and they’re across all parties, which is great because it frees me from this feeling that I might be a party political animal, which I’m not in any sense whatsoever. We at ‘Save Me’ (the campaign Brian set up to support animal welfare) will support anybody who is working for the welfare of animals, so for instance I work with Conservatives Against Fox Hunting, I work with various elements of the Labour party and recently I’ve been talking to the Bow Group which is also in the Conservative Party. I have a very good relationship with the Green Party because really they’re the only party who have a thought-out agenda with regards to improving things in animal welfare.
