SAVE ME is a group founded by Brian May to promote decent treatment for animals. We believe that every creature deserves a decent life and a decent death. PLEASE JOIN US and ask your friends to as well! It will help us to be an effective voice for animals, enable you to receive our news updates, and allow you to participate in Brian's Feedback Forum.
SAVE-ME is a non-political organisation; we do not align ourselves with any political party. In the recent election, we never campaigned against the Tory party - only against David Cameron and his core team, all advocates of hunting with dogs, and of killing our native badgers. It is well-established that abuse of animals is against the wishes of the majority of British voters, and even the wishes of most Conservative voters, so we believe Cameron to be acting contrary to the will of the British Public in these matters.
We continue to be true to our policy of supporting anyone in ANY political party who is on the side of protecting our wild animals.

OUR NATIVE WILD ANIMALS ARE IN GRAVE DANGER
It took animal–lovers 80 years and 700 hours of parliamentary debate to bring the Hunting Act into force in 2004, by democratic process, in accordance with the will of at least 75% of the population. This law currently makes it illegal to hunt to the death with packs of dogs, not only foxes, but stags, hares, and other wild creatures in Britain’s countryside.
With the Conservative/LibDem government now in power, it is likely that there will soon be an attempt to bring in a bill to REPEAL the Hunting Act. Repeal would mean that currently banned blood sports – fox-hunting, stag hunting, hare coursing, etc – would again become legal.
Since the current set of newly elected MP's includes many who are linked to the Hunts and the Countryside Alliance, it is quite possible that the bill will succeed, destroying the protective Act. This would be a tragedy for our native wild animals, and a huge step backwards into barbarity. Do you know how YOUR MP will vote ?
Check out our ‘How they stand’ page to find out your MP’s declared intention: to vote ‘For’, or ‘Against’ the repeal. Only those who stand ‘Against’ are on the side of maintaining protection for our wildlife. If your MP shows up as ‘For’, or undecided, or did not reply to the question, we need to try to persuade him/her to join us on the side of animals.
We believe that the British public needs to be clearly told the truth. The vast majority of decent people believe that it is wrong to cause needless suffering to animals. We cannot stand by and allow Britain to be bullied by a small minority – a minority that cannot let go of its desire to torture innocent animals.
Be aware of this situation, tell everyone you know, and make sure your MP knows that you expect him/her to vote to KEEP THE HUNTING ACT IN PLACE, and work to make it more effective.
As a quick initial step, visit the League Against Cruel Sports (LACS) website right now, and use their excellent system to send an email to your MP. It only takes a few moments.
