Gamekeepers and their families joined other rural workers outside Perth Concert Hall, where Packham was scheduled to give a talk on Tuesday evening. They held placards saying “Pack it in, Packham” and “Stop Threatening Our Jobs”. Protesters in Perth, where Packham was due to give a talk on nature photography, said the conservationist was seeking to ban activities which brought benefits to whole communities.
