Wildlife broadcaster @ChrisGPackham has received suspicious packages and death threats, after backing a ban on farmers indiscriminately killing 'pest' birds. He says 'take aim at me', but calls for people to stop targeting charities and organisations he's affiliated with. In block capitals, it says: “We know where you live Packham and we will get you some way or another. Packham said it is not just he and his family being targeted, but also businesses he works with. Wild Justice – whose directors include Packham – sought a judicial review of the licences, which Natural England ultimately decided not to fight, believing it would lose.
