What do people think? He's always been outspoken and ruffled feathers. But now he's helped create a new law banning the shooting of 'pest' birds, he's received a backlash. These include change.org petition to get him sacked from the BBC and people trolling him at his property with 'gifts' of dead animals and on Monday he received a hand written death threat to poison or RTA (road traffic accident).
I met him once and wrote about it in the meeting a celeb thread and he was not pleasant. Which at the time was disappointing.
If he really wants to effect change, cats are the biggest issue for declining bird numbers, studies estimate that cats in the UK catch up to 275 million prey items a year, of which 27 million are birds.
Yet he's going after farmers shooting some crows and pigeons to protect their lambs? I find him a little confusing to be honest. How about a campaign to keep cats indoors for dawn at dusk at least, a far better 'law', if we need one at all.
