The broadcaster and wildlife campaigner Chris Packham has revealed he and his family received death threats days after dead crows were strung up outside his home in an escalating row about shooting birds. On Tuesday, he said the campaign against him had escalated, with “death threats of a very serious nature” being made against him and his family. Packham defended the Wild Justice campaign against a shooting licence, which was withdrawn last week, claiming it allowed people to kill birds for “pleasure”.
