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.

Hey, American here browsing all...
What the absolute hell is this talking about?
-
Packham is a popular environmentalist and animal lover who has presented loads of fantastic shows over the years. Someone’s made a complaint about him having a sniff of a chick when checking them, but they appear to have had little else to do that day
-
Haha, you know we wish our national scandals were this benign!

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.

sniffing birds sounds like an 80s night out in swindon
-
oh God. Flashbacks of the Brunel Rooms....

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.

What a headline

There’s always a Karen waiting for you.

A "shooting enthusiast", no less..

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.
I hate that the image makes me want to sniff a bird now. WTF brain.
There's, um, a lemmy for this sort of thing out there for you. If you don't ask, I won't tell.
