Chris Packham is unpopular because he challenges the 'traditional' and normally extremely cruel countryside practises.

Very against all so-called sports that you've mentioned Kali2. It's just disgusting that he should be targeted like this.

Kali2 Sun 10-Oct-21 18:55:55

Against the shooting and poisoning of birds of prey too- by shoots or pigeon fanciers, etc.

Kandinsky

Why do people hate him so much?
What is his campaign?

He has campaigned against Fox Hunting, Badger Baiting and the Badger Cull, and against burning land for grouse shooting, etc.

And I am totally being him on all the above. But even if you object to his campaigning, I hope you would agree that these attacks against him are 100% wrong and should be treated very seriously.

I meant it in general Kadinsky he is very involved in all things relating to wildlife and nature and is currently asking the Royal family to rewild on their estates.

There are plenty of rednecks who hate Tarrant because of his extreme views, I’m surprised attempts havn’t been made before, he is too high profile for his own safety.
It’s the opposite of extreme environmentalists or animals rights targeting companies

I don't know why people hate him so much either sad but this is mindless criminal activity.

Is his address known because of companies house or something?

He won't let it affect his campaigning I'm sure .

Appalling.
Poor man. All the luck in the world to him and his campaign.

I've just seen this on Fb. I don't know how his private address is known to the public, and hope he will up his security. A lot of conservationists/environmentalists I know of have been killed in recent years, the criminal element and money made from the abuse of animals is so prevalent.

sad poor Chris

He is constantly getting threatened or stuff being done to his property.

There are some very sick people out there.

Kali2 Sun 10-Oct-21 16:40:28

This is just appalling and it must be so frightening for him and his family, including his step-daugther. Why is this not treated as a terrorist attack?

Just awful.
