Queen star May opposes Windermere geese cull
Last updated at 14:40, Wednesday, 15 February 2012
LEGENDARY rock guitarist Brian May has today announced his opposition to the proposed cull of Canada geese on Windermere.
The Queen star, whose organisation Save Me campaigns for better treatment of animals, has spoken out strongly in support of Animal Aid's campaign against the Lake District National Park Authority's proposed cull of 200 geese this spring.
He said: "The proposed cull of Canada Geese in Windermere is the latest in a string of bad decisions to perceived problems relating to wild animals.
"The current climate of ignorance leads many people in authority, responding to the first complaint about an inconvenience or a loss in income, to reach for the gun.
"There is no need for me to comment about the multiple trumped-up bits of supposed scientific evidence offered to support this very ill-considered decision. All the justifications offered for the killing have been demolished by Animal Aid's analysis."
