## Summary

Queen guitarist Brian May said his commitment to veganism grew from a belief that every animal matters and that humans have no special claim to exploit other species. In an interview, he linked veganism to reducing animal suffering and living in greater harmony with the planet and its ecosystems.

May said he began eating vegan in January 2020 as part of Veganuary, after years of wildlife advocacy. He described his work with the Save Me wildlife rescue, which has helped thousands of animals, alongside public education and lobbying in the UK for laws to protect wildlife. He also recalled feeling remorse as a child after spraying a wasp, an experience that helped shape his view of animals.
