Brian May didn't just donate money to animal welfare. He personally purchased British farmland and forests with his own money ~ and converted them into permanent wildlife sanctuaries. He resigned from the RSPCA for not doing enough. He refuses to play Glastonbury over badgers. The Save Me Trust is not a side project. It is Brian May's second career.
Most rock stars put their name on a charity.
Brian May buys farmland for his.
The Save Me Trust was founded in 2009 by Brian May and conservationist Anne Brummer — originally to campaign against the possible repeal of the Hunting Act in the UK.
It has never stopped growing since.
Today Save Me Trust campaigns against fox hunting, the badger cull, factory farming, live export, trophy hunting, driven grouse shooting, the use of snares, and the captivity of orcas and other cetaceans.
But what most people don't know — is what Brian May has funded personally.
The Save Me Trust manages private land ~ purchased and protected specifically for this purpose by Brian May himself. Land that was previously wilderness-deprived commercial forest or farmland. Enhanced. Restored. Converted into wildflower meadows. Protected permanently.
The Trust operates alongside Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue ~ which rehabilitates injured British wildlife and releases them back into the wild through secure soft-release sites that Brian May's funding helps maintain.
In 2023 ~ Proud Galleries presented a £5,000 cheque to Save Me Trust ~ generated from ticket sales and book signings at Brian May's Stereoscopy Is Good For You exhibition in London. Every event Brian May does ~ feeds back into the animals.
He resigned from the RSPCA as Vice President in 2024 ~ publicly ~ because he felt even they weren't doing enough.
He refuses to perform at Glastonbury because its co-founder supports badger culling.
He has addressed Parliament directly. Led protests through London. Fronted BBC documentaries. Funded research. Bought countryside.
A man who once played to 250,000 people in Brazil —
Spends significant portions of his personal fortune buying British farmland.
To give Hedgehogs somewhere safe to sleep.
Thank you for caring for the animals @DrBrianMay 🙏.
@Caspersight let's pray they haven't just blacked out anything of relevance. and that they truly do release "everything" rather than hiding anything exciting in the resolved (don't need to release it) pile.
@TomSoede@JohnCleese and when. they take over (as stated in the video) and push all the nice white Christian people out. and the area becomes a no go how grateful should we be then......
@MadukaChidera3 It funny you say that. imagine turning that round and it being your own country. the place you were born and bred, the home of your ancestors. and you have no where to run to...... no country to go back to.... how would you feel then.
@lady_valor_07 I agree that a tip is require but that way out of proportion. why would anyone ad a third to the meal. it would kill the restaurant Industry overnight.

@RupertLowe10 seems a simple start to sorting our problems.
only issue. is we've lost our backbone as a country now that we're filled with woke tree huggers. we need politicians with some balls to take the reigns, They won't do that now because there all self serving money grabbing tossers

@ElonMuskNews47 A, B, C, D, E basically. nid take a 6 month cruise to get. my head round the fact. then I'd invest half the. money in a high interest account. build my own house. start my own business and my own charity. I'd also invest in property. renting at reasonable prices.
@Keir_Starmer Im sure the families and friends of the people affected are comforted by your "thoughts and prayers". 🤠. or would they have been more. Comforted by you using your brain using your spine and stopping it from happening in the first place..
