Wildlife expert Chris Packham has vowed that "intimidation" will not "sway me from my cause" after a suspected arson attack at his home.
The broadcaster said "two masked men" set a vehicle on fire at the gate of his New Forest home at about 00:30 BST on Friday, causing "extensive damage".
He said the attack was the "cost" of online abuse he receives, but added it would not stop his campaigning.

@@Hickalum I believe I do and every like minded individual who is reasonable. After all, only unreasonable people would sneak in disguised at the dead on night to nail dead animals to his gates and then burn them down with a car that had been set fire to. Unless of course you honestly think that's a reasonable action taken by someone.

The crime was Arson - one of the most serious in terms of penalties. 'Hate Crime' is defined narrowly to defend people with certain group characteristics and it involves the use of language. I believe this category of crime should be removed from the statute books and social media should regulate itself according to users wishes - the police should not be involved. The Police should direct their attention to actual physical crimes and protecting our rural life whether a self-declared environmentalist or farmers - this needs to be beefed up.
