Go Brian for defending wildlife, he seems to know what he is talking about!
The Real Wizard
Once again, conservatives in their myopic world of binary thinking wanted to paint him as hypocritical because he makes different decisions based on varying factors.
Deer hunting is necessary. It controls over-population. Most vegetarians and vegans even understand and accept this. This stance based on reality doesn't somehow discredit him in his fight against the culling of another species.
Do not take on Brian May with a war of words on this issue. You'll lose every time.

That depends on the audience though, don't it? All they need to say is "hippy shot animals in his own backyard" and that is the idea that will stick with people who don't know any better.

There are very few people here, if anyone, who is qualified to comment on the issue. Unless of course you own your own forest and practise population control within it. I don't have an opinion simply because I do not really care that much about it, I have other more important things going on in my life.

That's indicative of a severe lack of imagination. There really aren't many things to take into account - the impact of the deer on his property and the ecology in the area, vs. the cost of either offing some of them or letting them run free, vs. the property owners feelings about culling in general.
I left out the consideration of 'how other people feel about you performing a cull' because really, who gives a fuck.

What's delusional about that?

This has nothing to do with 'Conservatives' and Brian sure the pounding fuck doesn't coherently "make different decisions based on varying factors" when it comes to any of these issues. He has, as one pithy Telegraph commenter put it, the morality of the single issue warrior. It's inconsistent, egocentric, hypocritical and run on fevered emotion. Anybody who reads his blog should recall his comments on the killing of the Exmoor stag and the culling of the mink for ecological reasons, among so many other similar over the top responses. It's almost unfathomable that he is on his Soapbox on these issues constantly and didn't raise this issue himself in real time. NOBODY who followed him would have believed this had been happening from his comments on just about everything else. Anybody who takes in his entire record on this (and that entire record is available to everybody who wants to do the work and not parrot positions just because they like them) and doesn't see the egocentrism and wild inconsistency and hypocrisy is at this point a willful Stepford and kiss ass in my view. "Do not take on Brian May with a war of words on this issue. You'll lose every time." made me laugh right out loud. DELUSIONAL.

2 sides to every story though isn't there. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but very few are experienced enough to offer an informed argument, its easy to listen to Brian on the subject and blindly agree, but that would be foolish

However I do admire his passion for the subject

I'm just not clear at which point Brian's focus shifted from AIDS-riddled African kids, to fuckin' badgers.
I guess the distinction is that Africans aren't endangered. There's bloody millions of them. That must be the reason.
