Video: Brian May: badger cull could cost David Cameron his job The former guitar player with Queen and animal rights activist launched e-petition as part of the "team badger" campaign in a bid prompt a parliamentary debate on the proposed cull after a licence was issued last week for farmers to kill the protected animals in West Gloucestershire. He said public opinion was growingagainst the cull and more than 120,000 people signed the petition against the Government policy. He said he hoped one million people would sign the petition because it would "persuade David Cameron he would probably lose his job if he goes ahead" with the cull which he called a "indefensible piece of rubbish."
