But im sure rats are on his list of 'okay to shoot' because now the puffins etc are on the rise. He is very clever with his wording, remember we all go out to enjoy murdering birds..

Yes it does, but he will still say we are mindlessly killing for fun. That is his big issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greylag Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I see Mr Packham has said one of his favourite garden birds is the woodpigeon.A typical comment from him knowing full well the mayhem him and his little team have caused in the recent weeks.

I realise this but he is dishonest, he is a thorn in the side of shooting claiming he is so because he is a 'conservationist'.....when his real stance is that of a 'protectionist, who recognises 'culling/controlling' certain species is neccesary, but doesn't like anyone enjoying doing it! He appears to believe he alone is the arbiter of what conduct is morally permissible and what is not.........and his opinion is right and anyone who doesn't agree with his protectionist stance is wrong!........ Typical extremist behaviour, down perhaps to his mental disability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
