    After everything that’s happened the last few years I didn’t think I could be surprised by any headlines any more… but “bird sniffing is not a crime” are a set of words I never expected to see out together in a sentence.

    Seems vindictive complaint to police from a local shooter who dislikes Packham. He was handling them to be weighed and ringed as a part of the a conservation license, a quick sniff check is not going to give me hem anymore distress.

      Absolutely. He apparently doesn’t like environmentalists and probably blames them for the laws that say he can’t shoot any wildlife he likes.

    I have no idea what this is about, but seeing this in my feed made me bust out laughing. I love how random and weird lemmy can be at times.

          Panda hate is a common thing in conservation circles. Money on conservation that is spent on Panda could be effectively used elsewhere etc.

            Is that why they are so poorly treated in western zoos that multiple died and multiple more almost died and had to be evacuated back to China? Cause there’s no denying those pandas were abused horrifically, and I just couldn’t understand why.

        Man the next time I go to the UK I’m going to tell the passport guy that I’m going to sniff the birds and see what he says.

        Then when he raises and eyebrow follow it up with “They don’t let us sniff chicks in the US anymore ever since that whole me too” 😎

    That’s an … unusual headline, to say the least.

    I don’t always agree with Chris, but he does get a lot of unneeded shite from the right wingers, so he has my sympathy on that.

    Hampshire Police has written to the man who complained – an amateur shooting enthusiast who does not want to be named

    Gee I wonder why. Possibly because it’s coming up to Halloween and they’re concerned about having their shit attitude come back on them and the Porsche that they definitely own.

    I figure if Packham’s sniffing a bird there’s probably a very good reason for him to be doing so.

    Massive respect for the guy.

      A “shooting enthusiast”, no less…
