I admire Brian May. His music is superb and he has an intellect to match, which no interviewer is ever really going to be able to contend with. However, he is so entrenched in his views that there is no way forward here. I know nothing of bovine TB, cows or agriculture, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that badgers would indeed be a vector for certain diseases and thus require controlling, like rats, deer, rabbits or any other wild animal who unwittingly create wider problems in nature by their presence and sheer numbers. Not that cow farming is natural, but much of the population depends upon it for a substantial part of their nutrition and to aspire to an alternative, whilst a positive thought, is unrealistic.
I think it is highly commendable that Brian May is speaking out against the badger cull and I am delighted that he is giving his time to do this.. I do not agree that farmers wishes should take priority over everyone else's and they are motivated by financial profit and gain.. I hope enough people sign the petitions to try and stop this happening. It would be very sad to lose most of our badger population, when the problem of bovine TB needs to be solved in more effective ways..
Fortunately, that this celebrity has much influence! Brian can be the spokesperson of many people! There are so many people who are against the slaughtering of badgers and that we don't bother to listen! Brian puts his fame to benefit of a noble cause and to which he believes! I'm with him of all my heart!
We recently interviewed Brian May about the Gatcombe Farm project. A new approach to disease control on a dairy farm in Devon - taking out infective cows and minimising exposure to slurry - which has seen the herd attain TB-free status after six years of persistent breakdowns. Watch the video here: ruclips.net/video/G66mHptxYmQ/видео.html
Not everyone who is against badger culling is from the city lmao! Many people who are against the cull are farmers who actually have a half a brain cell.
Why is she getting personal when Brian's actually talking about the subject at hand...i understand she feels instinct to be defensive but she's not winning anyone over by not explaining the issue or answering his points without deflecting back to May
Exert2020, she's perhaps doing what Brian May always does to farmers, hunters and country people who he doesn't himself agree with regarding many country issues. What does he know about Badgers? Many farmers haven't got the millions he has and he certaintly has no empathy whatsoever for the troubles many farmers and landowners face regarding financial ruin.England has one of the highest densities of Badgers in europe and they're far too protected by somewhat draconian laws.I cannot comprehend how many of these so-called celebrities with massive ego's jump on the band wagon and try to tell farmers how to run their own business. What would Brian May thing if a farmer tried to tell of how to paly a guitar? He certaintly wouldn't be too pleased. Before any of theso-called animal lovers start bleating and moaning, yes, i've seen the rock band "Queen" on 2 occasions and yes, they were excellent, however, Brian May certainly knows about his certain profession namely music. However, he certainly doesn't know anything about bovine tb or the countryside and that's a fact!
I'm definetely on Brian's side because he is trying very hard to stop people from killing these innocent,beautiful creatures. Why doesn't anyone understand that in doing that it will change things and complicate everything. I don't want to drink the cow milk either,Bri if it comes from that certain place... I am a vegetarian and I'm sticking with it...
Nightmare officious mantra spouting jobsworth up against an intelligent person. We all know how this moribund officialdom wears down our spirits. Well done brian. We love you for trying
Fran 76 Clucas so your vegan? Think about it...your choosing to stand for badgers to stay alive when infected badgers are killing hundreds and thousands of cows so your choosing to help 1 animal stay alive to kill others. Are you stupid?
if there was no farmers you would not have food clothes drinks ! you dont realise how many goods you buy involves farming somewhere along the lines and if we all handed in the wellies, the country would fall apart ! and that women is editor of farmers weekly so is involved in farming and knows a lot more than you will ever know about agriculture and the problems associated within it !
I'm with you brian research shows it does not work someone is clearly making a lot of money out of the cull me and my friends will do everything to try an save the Badger
Better farming techniques and less use of bovine antibiotics because what is happening is that these diseases are now becoming resistant. These farmers collect their milk and mix it with several different herds and then tested....so we should go back to single herd collection like raw milk suppliers. Isolate and test each herd and manage it by each farm....
these type of discussions are on going for years but the only people getting all the satisfaction are the guys in offices in suits enjoying these arguments at farmers misfortune as a cattle farmer with no cattle tb and never Will have a problem i hold the trump card but i would love to give it to Brian May with his help which unfortunately i cannot get a spoke in or and inter view but with my help i could make him ten times more wealthy
Badgers are an integral part of and an iconic species in our British countryside. They were here before the cattle and hopefully will be here long after the cattle. Let's be right about this, it's all about Money! If all the cattle were inoculated and stricter controls implemented on movement of cattle, the problem would be solved! It's been proved in other places. But, the farmers, government, and these people who all think they are right, just want to use the cheapest form of control, instead of using proper forms of control to benefit everyone including the Badgers. Land owners and farmers already kill badgers as a matter of course, they're shot and run over on sight ! their sets are blocked and destroyed by these callous so called and would have you believe, nature lovers and guardians of the countryside. LEAVE THE BADGERS ALONE!!!!!
Jim Burns you say it’s all about money...well that’s what all assholes say! Let’s be right about this, that most farmers are looking out for there cattle and they give a shit but you people don’t do you! Your like “LEAVE BADGERS ALONE!!!!!” When your acting like a twat! 1 badger that infected can kill 10/20 cattle and then they get slaughtered but people want the badgers to stay alive and run free not only to kill MORE cattle you fucking twat. 🙄
you do realise many farmers ARE against the cull so maybe your journalism needs an update. Brian has already spoken to many farmers who agree with him.
Linda zimny, most dairy farmers are for it though, you can’t just stop something because some people don’t agree with it, that’s not how democracy works.
Started on the 'humane' welfare rubbish towards the end of the clip, then he changed his tune almost immediately! Doesn't know what he is talking about, it is a shame that celebrities have such power. He is a musician for crying out loud!
cattle t b // the big scandal that will remain as it is until it is exposed and brought to the attention of the general public the general public and that is millions people being fed with with t b diseased meat without a single person complaining or not knowing that such a dangerous situation is taking place on out two little islands we have the best blood stock in the world but our live stock are even better // slaughtering the most beautiful healthy.. prize winning animals that you could wish to see will we ever get a cattle minister to stop this tuggery ;; scaremongring ,, fraud by vets and defra .. please god we might if we could make farmers even wake up /// and there are several simple easy ways of dealing with this conspiracy , fraud or what other name you would wish to use on this criminals
But a huge number of people do drink milk and do eat beef and do need cattle. Stop being so bloody selfish! Congratulations on being a vegetarian by the way, your parents must be really proud.
The only people who “need” cattle are the dairy/beef farmers themselves. I’m sure much of the general public would get on fine without beef and milk. This is about the farmers and the badgers, not about what the public “needs”.
She was a hell of alot more flexible than him-he`s entrenched completely.He`s very dismissive and did`nt accept any proposals made.Of course he`s right about increasing welfare on farms and his heart is in the right place but on badgers he`s wrong,they do spread TB as i have been painfully aware of.
I don't comment much. This man has no idea what it's like to live, work, breath a farm life. Losing one cow to TB is the worst thing to ever happen. Brian May. You have no idea. You know nothing. I would meet with you and talk about it. I would love to. You know nothing about farming. Take your million's and your time else where. You know nothing!!!!
any one of ye have't a clue but brian is right to a point badgers are perfectly healthy // as a cattle farmer i support this'' i would like for the 3 of us to meet up and my contribution will be i will never never have a tb reactor and i buy in lots of store cattle for finishing to beef and now i am ready for the intake of badgers to be put among my cattle on a condition that Brian will witness this plus lots of ministers and especially well wishers of Brian to see the out come of the cattle test my biggest problem will be trying to keep them happy and content while they will be carrying out there transmitting duties while lots of farmers want to keep them locked out at considerable expense // what a contrast // when the show will finish i will sell them on to the state ' @6000 a pop for purposes unknown
Brian may got deerstalkers on his land at one point haha I think it was in country man weekly not sure lol but I am against the badger cull but I think Brian mays a nob. He try's stopping hunting and culling ect but then has deerstalkers on his land! Uneducated,non nob townie
How can anyone argue with Brian on this issue. Killing Badgers is so wrong
Last year in Irish Republic bTB fell by 55 cows out of 60 million - and this after killing 1 million badgers over 25 years.

Fast forward 6 years and many, many more people have turned against dairy products. He was correct.

The look on his face😂🤣
Well said Brian! You deserve a medal for being a true badger hero! SAVE OUR BADGERS, STOP THE CULL!!
keep culling
City folk just don't understand!
Not everyone who is against badger culling is from the city lmao! Many people who are against the cull are farmers who actually have a half a brain cell.

Es un diálogo ó un debate.
Quiene serar el vencedor.
Stick to what you know....music, and let the Farmers stick to what they know......farming!
our cows are more important than badgers think of life without milk,beef,leather,ice cream, cream, moos,yogurt,cheese,butter ect
+Camo velvet These cows ? Hypocrite. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2152402/Viewers-outrage-harrowing-scenes-day-old-calves-shot.html
+Camo velvet think about it? I am living it.....no ice cream, no leather, vegan cheese, vegan butter vegan milk....easy......
Camo velvet don't buy British , triple the price for half the quality and four times less quantity
Fran 76 Clucas so your vegan? Think about it...your choosing to stand for badgers to stay alive when infected badgers are killing hundreds and thousands of cows so your choosing to help 1 animal stay alive to kill others. Are you stupid?
Ever hear of non-dairy milk? Vegan beef? Faux leather? Non-dairy ice cream? Moos out in the wild? Vegan yogurt? Vegan cheese? Vegan butter?
aww only brian mays would do a video for badgers
if there was no farmers you would not have food clothes drinks ! you dont realise how many goods you buy involves farming somewhere along the lines and if we all handed in the wellies, the country would fall apart ! and that women is editor of farmers weekly so is involved in farming and knows a lot more than you will ever know about agriculture and the problems associated within it !
I'm with you brian research shows it does not work someone is clearly making a lot of money out of the cull me and my friends will do everything to try an save the Badger
I feel his frustration and find her patronising.
Son dos políticos en debate.

Isolate and test each herd and manage it by each farm....
He is so obviously far beyond her in intelligence and information. She kept getting upset and he stayed calm because he knew he was right...and he is!
these type of discussions are on going for years but the only people getting all the satisfaction are the guys in offices in suits enjoying these arguments at farmers misfortune as a cattle farmer with no cattle tb and never Will have a problem i hold the trump card but i would love to give it to Brian May with his help which unfortunately i cannot get a spoke in or and inter view but with my help i could make him ten times more wealthy
Yes,I know. They don't care if I eat meat or not. What's your point?
Badgers are an integral part of and an iconic species in our British countryside. They were here before the cattle and hopefully will be here long after the cattle.
Let's be right about this, it's all about Money!

i did not know much about this (i'm from Germany) so i did some research and i have to say i 100% agree with Brian

Thanks for doing this Brian! These innocent animals are dying...it's not their fault! Keep fighting Brian!
I FEEL SORRY FOR BRIAN HAVING TO LISTEN TO THIS WOMAN, SHE SOUNDS LIKE A NO BRAINER. BRIAN IS AN INTELLIGENT MAN. JUST LEAVE THE BADGERS ALONE.
Love you Brian
No están de acurdo.
You can't argue with a man with hair like that.
Good news as some cull licenses are now granted-step 1 in the fight then hopefully vaccination will be granted when the vets finally got sense
Well said-totally correct
this bloke is a narrow minded prat! and i dont even own any livestock and i understand the importance of this
