If that was me:
Me: * half dead and got no hope *
Brian: * holds me * aww it's gonna be alright sweetie, you'll be with me now.
My bones: fixed
My fur: grown
My quills: stronger
My hope: restored
My heart: warmed and beating so fast
Me: * happy hedgehog noises *
great dream!☺️
Brian May for Prime Minister.
That would be a wonderful idea 🎉
Why would people be so horrible?
Thank you, Dr. May.
Because people are largely raised and conditioned by society, parents, peers, media and even teachers to feel they are an isolated, separate individual confronting a strange and alien world that's out to get them. So they attack life and the world and lash out, become aggressive and self-interested. This is also, however, what makes it so intoxicating to many people to feel part of some sort of group, tribe, team, family, national identity and so on - underlying all the neurotic individuality of thought remains a deep longing to feel part of something greater (because people don't understand that they already are the exact same blank and pure "awareness" or "consciousness" that everyone else is underneath all this play of individuality).
If we, as a society, raised our children to feel completely part of the natural world and to identify as consciousness itself rather than all these artificial ideas and thoughts about who we are individually, as personalities etc, then a great deal of the utterly unnecessary neuroses, aggression, conflict and other problems of human society would quickly evaporate.
Those thugs are absolute Bastard's, they are scum.
Thank you Brian May for taking such good care of these lovely hedgehogs
Bunch of little shits, I'm a youth worker, I deal with destructive kids like this every day and they just don't have proper boundaries.
This video is more important than sleep 💖💖💖💖💖

Also are you binge watching Brian May vids as well?
@@sheeshkabob yep
Anita Dobson is one lucky lady. Brian is such a beautiful, beautiful man.
Samantha I’m jealous of Anita.
Anita is also a veggie animal lover. They’re both fantastic people
I adore them as a couple. But I wouldn’t mind taking Brian off Anita’s hands for a few days at least 😂
Oh God, that's heartbreaking 💔. I simply can't understand why people would want to harm animals. Thank God for all you people and good advice Bri 😊🦔
So cruel no need for that whatsoever 😔 I truly believe if they are capable of hurting animals they have it in them to hurt humans as well. Thank you Brian for all you do for these poor sweet defenceless creatures 💕
One of the greatest rock guitarists of all time - if not the greatest - but also a professor of astronomy and a mild mannered, softly spoken animal lover. I mean, you just can't not love this guy.
How some people are able to treat an animal in such a cruel way is beyond me! Kicked, thrown around, beaten with a brick, some people are just sick in the head. Dr May is truely a blessing in this crazy world.
quite a sweet hedgehog, he’s in great hands, i’m glad brian may is an animal rights activist. keeping adorable and helpful creatures safe and loved
Brian May is such a caring person, his generosity of spirit is truly humbling.
*Last few days, I've been binging on BRIAN MAY videos... And the reason for this is not because I am guitarist. Its because there is something about this human being that radiates wonderful energy. It really gives me hope about this world and humankind, amidst all the chaos.*
So sad that anyone could be this cruel. Reason 849,000 that I love love love Brian May !
Whoever brutally attacked this sweet innocent little hedgehog will get back what’s worse coming to them
I can't believe people can be this heartless 😭 How could someone drop a brick on a hedgehog? That's horrible. Brian is so wholesome.
How cruel that Little Percy was kicked around, thank goodness he was rescued, what a beautiful scantuary, great work !!!!!
Poor little Percy
I love hedgehogs. I've saved a few and one recently. Thanks 👍 🙏🙏🙏
Brian is so wholesome ❤
And handsome 😊
Fair play to you Brian, The world needs more people like you.
Bless Brian's hedgehog loving heart!!!! Hope Percy is still doing good, and I've always hated the poisons sold in stores. No animal deserves such an agonising slow painful death from ingesting poison. I read where Brian had said he'd rather be remembered for his work with animals than anything else. Well, you will be remembered as one of the most amazing musicians to ever fill our ears and hearts with joy as part of the legendary Queen!!!!
Mr Brian May is such a wonderful and very kind gentleman! We must all lead by example! We can all do our bit to make this world a better place for animals! BE KIND TO ALL ANIMALS!
One of my favourite memories is of seeing a mother hedgehog leading her troop of tiny Tiggywinkles across a road in the early hours of the morning... such a sweet sight.
Kudos to the team that is taking care of wild animals. Big salute to Dr. Brian May. What an amazing human being! He is an example of how we should be living in tune with nature. Loved his remarks at the end! 🙂
Thank you Dr. Brian May ❤️🙏🦔
Thank you for helping these beautiful animals, encouraging others to do the same, and raising awareness.
You are an absolute legend yet so kind and humble. A true inspiration. ❤️
The world needs more People like Brian!
This is absolutely heart breaking. How can people be so evil. Brian, you are an incredible, beautiful soul. Thank God for you. ❤❤❤
Brian May is so loveful to the hedgehog. Very animal friendly man. He is himself so adorable, like the hedgehogs. He should bei blessed of god.
Excuse me, who is that one dislike??? How are you not happy watching this video???
Thank you so much for saving this little baby Bri ❤❤❤
Whaaaaat?!? Brian May and Percy the Hedgehog... two of my very favorite things. "I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feeeeeeel... so baaaaaaaaad..." I know this clip was released quite some time ago, but you know, I still love 'rocket scientists' and hedgehogs as much as ever I did. God bless ye both today, and every day. Lovely new photos at Stonehenge, by the way... :)
It's really a beautiful work Brian is doing. That's why I wasn't wrong when choosing Queen as my favorite band. Normally most of rock stars are selfish, think of anything else, than their drug abuse, shows, their own addiction and their treatment or whatsoever forgetting about so many good things like this they could do, cause they have so much spotlight and media attention. These kind of initiative that could be more broadcasted.
Nothing less than heroic! Overwhelming ❤💚💜💙💛
What a great rescue! We need more people like you (and me) who devote lots of time to caring for wildlife. They are so precious and, sadly, we are losing the battle to protect the future of hedgehogs. More PUBLICITY please - from folk like you who can afford it. I have spent about 10 years caring for hedgehogs, indeed I have had pics published in the local press. Let's continue doing all we possibly can to preserve these little beauties!
I just came across this. This is absolutely criminal. Poor Percy! Thank God for wonderful angels like Dr. Brian May that have rescued and homed these beautiful creatures.
Vielen Dank, Brian❗🙏🌹Tierliebe geht jeden Menschen an❗👍💕
this man is my hero, can i adopt him as my grandpa????
This does my heart good to see how loved and cared for these beautiful creature are. Thank you Brian May.
Why the pessimistic-sounding comments? It obviously shows that we don't have the initiative to change our society in our own way.
That aside, people like Dr Brian together with Anne and the folks at Save Me and Harper Asprey are doing their part to protect the animals in their country. Very inspiring to other people the world over who give respect to Nature. :)
I just glanced at a little plaque I have on my mirror before viewing this video. It says: 'Love is a Verb." Brian May is a great example. Thank you for all that you do. We all need to think...really think.
Oh BRIAN
MY HEART SINGS..YES..Thanks so...❤🐰🐨🐯🐼🐧❤💕❤
Percy is adorable!!
😢. Percy must know you love him Sir Brian. ❤
@Typhoon792 That's why I like Queen so bad. They do'nt try to make a revolution or something. They just talk about human feelings and aspirations, not a revolted rock band, it's quite happy. Normally most of their songs are really inspiring. For example, they talk about friendship, love, victory.. Usually idols like them are very important on ppl attitude. I guess a person like Brian has a very powerful influence on the youngster's mind, that's why I think his work and effort are beautiful.
Thank goodness for people like Brian May! He has saved so many innocent creatures who have been tortured by their worst enemy - humans 🥲
That's a beautiful documentary! Thank you Brian very much for helping all these poor animals. I hope people will change their behaviour to animals.
I love Brian so much. I wish more would help animals
A simple example that shows you, if a right person with a heart, decency and manners gets some amount of money and power even an animals could benefit from it. Can you imagine what it would be like for us humans. Only if...
Ahhhh! I can't stand it, it's so cute! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I'm in love! This is the sweetest!
Dragoness of Fire the hedgehog or Brian?
I have a garden full of hedgehogs.. love them
How could anyone hit such a sweet creature??
Percy is such a sweetie! ^.^ Thank God he was rescued! :3
Man you're are my hero.
Thank you Brain May 😊😊😊❤❤
Well said, Brian.
Increible! Como se deja cargar que indefenso el animalito. 😢
That first lockdown at the end of march last year might well be the turning point in the fight to save our precious hedgehogs, with people stuck at home, more & more of us started to notice the wildlife that visited our gardens. I joined a hedgehog group on facebook, this group was created in 2010 & even up to the start of 2020 before the lockdown only had around 500 members, that number snowballed & now has over 14,000 members.
Lots more people, myself included have cameras in our garden to monitor the hedgehog activity & it's helping us to catch sick & injured hedgehogs so more are being helped & successfully treated at hedgehog rescue centres run by people in their own homes!
I honestly believe we've hit a turning point in yukky decline of these precious creatures & with slug pellets being banned, they should become less of a threat
Bless you Brian
Brian you are the Man :))
awh! what a caring thing to do. i hope more people can care about animal cruelty. well done brian. ❤
Ah... Brian and Anne... you lovely wonderful people. And of course Chrissy and everyone else at Harper asprey. You are all great. Thank you and Merry Christmas from the Belgian one :-)
Hello to you all
I'm actually a queen fan and my adoptive farther is a massive queen fan
That's why I am but not only I'm a fan
My grandad passed away in 91 or 92
Happy Birthday Brian🎂
You're sweet my life...I Love Brian!!
What a beautiful soul... ❤
There are so much destructable people around the world...killing themselves, trying to kill the world.
Thank God there are also good-hearted people like Brian.
That hedgehog has no idea that the man holding him is an absolute legend
The video isn't about idolatry for him, its about waking us up as viewers. What can we do to help those who are abused and helpless? If everyone watching did a small thing to help creatures big or small, human or not, then it is a form of revolution against the greed, destruction and madness in the world.
awe poor Percy
I wish I could have shown my dad this when he dumped snail and slug pellets on MY veganic/ organic vegetable garden. I live in Australia so we don't have hedgehogs but I did have a dog and thankfully he ignored snail pellets. It could have ended very badly.
Thank God for you and your love of nature.❤️
You are a musician so influential and talented, that you'll manage to pass a message of tolerence and respect for the residents of wildlife.
People will listen to you !
But do they will hear you?
Sorry for my bad english, I'm french!
Omg my heart ❤️
This is awesome. 🙏🏻
Brian, not only my guitar hero!
Hedgehogs are also suffering from natural illnesses a lot will have serious lung worm infections as well as other internal parasites.
@Typhoon792 Don't despair! This is not because the fight seems lost in advance, that we must give up!
On the contary, we must continue to fight to stop all these atrocities commited against wildlife.The more we are to protest against all these violences, the more we will be heard!
Unity does the strength!
Hehe I now love Brian May.
Man things people do to animals makes me so angry 🤯🤯🤯
@Typhoon792 I did a drawing for Brian and Roger and a group drawing when they came here in 2008. The show house( I had to work a lot to pay that ticket, but that was worth it cause was Queen) told me I could hand them to their press officer or something and then I spent about two months making those pictures. When I tried to hand to somebody who could give them at the end of the show, nobody knew anything. I got really disappointed I couldn't hand them.
@Typhoon792 yeah, you got my point...
There are many absurds being done not just to animals, but also from people to people and to nature itself.
when i told you about my own life, i wasn't being kinda snobbish, thinking about my own greatness and importance, i was telling the point of view of a very humble and simple person, who tries very hard to keep up in life, who faces daily troubles and obstacles, however, never give up on the good dreams and beliefs that has.
.
you are truly a guardian angel for all these wonderful creatures! Why not (maybe I'm stupid, sorry) write a song to educate people for the protection of wildlife? (M Jackson has written 'heart song ' to alert people to the ravages committed on the planet)
*Earth song*
🥰🥰🥰
It saddens me that there are some people who will be so mentally deranged to do that to any animal??? It honestly makes me choke!
What in hell is wrong with people. They need someone to play football with their balls and see how they like it! Poor gentle little hedgehog. This makes me cry.
Unfortunately Brian, that's never going to happen. People are disgusting. I always feel sad watching you try to do some good because there's just such the ratio of people that do the opposite is so much higher. Also, harm is easier to do. All the good that you do, that very second, some other person is contributing equally negatively or even more. I wish I could help but at 20 years of age, I barely have enough money for myself. It's how it is for most. But Dr. May, you are my inspiration!
Of course it will never happen because we just don't care.
I understood about 3/4 of what they said, cause english isn't my 1st language, but I could capture the context..=D
Adriana Takamori Seichi what a beautiful name
He said it perfect,we don't need the world of concrete
just find me dear brother💜
May I ask the person who put the thumb down why you did so? What have you got against hedgehogs? They are part of nature just like the slugs that they eat. Is nature a dirty word for you. If so why?
Thank you for sharing with us all 👍🏻😊❤️🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔
@Adrianats It's not like I disagree. You aren't really saying anything counter to what I did though.. I was saying, despite all this, things are the way they are... We for the most part already do all those little things. People like us already act, some on as big a scale as possible for them, like Brian. That's really just being a minor local hero. Trying to bring awareness & changing how people do things is a life long goal which usually does very little. It's the unfortunate truth.
@Typhoon792 So I gave up giving them and didn't know if they would give the same importance which I do for those pictures, so I still have them with me.
I said it all to you, just to give an example by my own experience that If you have a dream, and you chase it, you can do it I guess. Even if there are lots of obstacles and deceptions. And it also depends on you point of view, if that cause has an importance, and more people consider it too, no matter if the world falls apart, it'll survive.
@Typhoon792
I'd like restart having music lessons, drawing lessons. My dream's having a reasonable piano to play, but in my country, art and music aren't valued. It's extremely expensive for those things, we pay lots of bills and no investment is made. So I have to choose between: work and study.. then if I can afford (which I have to work a lot to get) then I get the "Luxury" of something for myself like an art course. I guess I have to build my own piano like Brian did on his guitar rs...
@Typhoon792 Well, I never meant to act arrogant, big or something like that. And also never meant to be offensive at all. Sorry if I couldn't express myself in the right way. It's just the opposite of what you understood. That's the onus of writing on Internet, cause we can never give the right tone, and frequently get misunderstood.
I didn't think you are unexperienced. I agree that negative is a lot bigger than positive. I personally believe that good is more powerful than evil.
We don't deserve Brian
If I was dying Brian put his hand on me , I vome alive too
@Typhoon792
yes, we know it's a lot easier to harm... there are more people destructing things, nature, and themselves than positive people.
It's the majority...it's just ordinary people. Do you wanna be ordinary? Or you wanna be different, make sth different for the world? Don't be so pessimistic.
Every human being has a demon and an angel inside, let the angel shout louder.
I understand you, cause I'm also 22, and my pay isn't good as I'd like for my needs.
What is wrong with people. I'd like to string them up. I love all animals and I adore hedgehogs.
Awwww adorable😍😍🦔🦔damn evil a$$hole people😤
@Adrianats I said nothing about myself & I'm nothing like that. Thanks for sharing but that doesn't say much and it's actually kind of offensive because it's as if you're saying I have no experience. First of all, realistic is not the same as pessimistic. History says it all and yes, I can do things to make small changes but to actually do something, I'd have to dedicate my life to it & so would you. So please don't act so high and compare personal achievements to world achievements.
I kind of hope he never changes his hair.
Hello it makes me sick the things people do
Did they get prosecuted, God I hope, what person would want to do that , an innocent creature,
