This is crazy😂 I was watching this video a few hours ago thinking "damn I wish Sam would do a debunked video on this". My wish came true.

Most activists can’t stand up for their nonsense.

He's never seen a pair of magpies work a hedge row and kill everything ,

"Animals kill other animals , its part of a natural process".Case closed

What planet does c packham live on, has he for a moment watched our large “protected” magpie population eat their way along a hedge eating songbirds

Great video mate, plenty of true words said. It will get sorted out and back to normal soon. All this disruption because a couple of townies that move to a big house in the country think they know everything and actually have probably never stepped on a farm let alone know what needs to be done to put food on the table

My concern is what comes next? Save the Grey squirrel? Adopt a sewer rat? Foster a starling? Years ago I was curious as to where this, "EU" experiment would go .... and now we know.

Playing to his public celebratory status as a BBC employee he should be sacked but his Asperger's syndrome will say to him " I am right, everyone else is wrong, ipso facto.

Does the pecker packham complain about pet cats and how many birds they kill......

Well said

Good video, thanks.

Well said 🙏

Isn't there a new licence for wood pigeons already out? Swear I saw it on natural England's Twitter this morning.

It’s this simple....if the birds didn’t enjoy it they wouldn’t take part!

Well done Sam, a great and fair view of a situation which should never have developed, on the other hand , BASC seem to be doing very little for the subscriptions ... the first time they have to stand up for something “urgently” they seem to be fumbling

Spot on yet again bud. Keep up the good work cheers bud

The sad thing is he will keep getting a one sided platform.

If offered the opportunity, would you do an interview on Good morning Britain with Chris?

You should've said "we defeat people with logic and facts. Not excrement"

Definitely not fed up with another posting, keep it up you make great sense.

The problem is if we do nothing they continue, if we do something they call us monsters and use that as justification to escalate. How do we combat an opponent that refuses to play by the rules? they're not interested in facts and logic.

Great video my friend

Why do we need a general license system anyway? And I have heard people using the artificial ecosystem before for he killing of birds of prey. (I have heard farmers and gamekeepers say how they have Wiped out a lot of game birds and such and can’t do anything about them.) Do you have an opinion on that ? It’s just one of those things, we’re do you stop and draw the line.

Well done mate and well said about the "threats" if there were any made towards him; it just plays into Packham's hands.

Sign the basc petition and get this overturned.

Why don't they bring in rules of engagement on pidgeons etc! Shout 3x warnings to go away then you can shoot. The rules could be printed on a yellow card

As usual your analysis of the situation is spot on. He has set himself up as the victim where as it is the farmers and their crops and animals that are the victims. It's time BASC were on here telling it like it is.

Sam I’m never fed up of listening to you or your videos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts I’m on your side, Mr Packham I dint feel sorry for him one bit, may I say who ever is threatening the man it’s wrong stop it, he will cook himself in his own broth no need for it. Thanks Sam 👍

I’m surprised most of the commentators here don’t side with his stance. I thought the world had done more progress!

Vandalism? Fuck it I’m gonna start spray painting birds now.

Absolutely on the button. Different managed rural areas have different problems. In South Africa Sparrows are a major problem, here not. It's managed , so we need to!

The firearms departments have also been listening too much to Chris, an industry is in free fall as a result, makers of the finest firearms in the world are finished!

You should be the prime minister or at least stand as an MP Sam! You’re on fire.... keep up the common sense and good work! 👍

i'd pay good money to get you on good morning Britain!

he's probably gonna ban pheasant and ducks next

I'm 100% behind you. We need to control certain species of birds, because it is just how you say it is 👍👍👍👍

Totally agree 👍

I predict a tough future for shooting and firearms ownership in the UK

CP sends himself all these things for attention so he can call the press and say poor me and the animals

mate you sum packham up just right well done its nice to hear someone reasonable like you shut down pricks like packham

Can we get a lince for Criss Packham

I was an anti until I seen the damage done by the magpies in my garden alone. The stress they cause nesting birds when they show up is incredible. I’ve since bought an R10.

Please keep doing these videos. I am not a farmer but the sight of lambs being butchered by these birds is 1) Appalling 2) Costing farmers their livelihood. 200 on one farm on the I.O.W. 3) Must be shown where ever possible, not just in farming publications, so that the general public see and know the true facts. I would love to see the BBC show these pictures and videos, but somehow, I don't think they would. Please keep up the good work you are doing.

Pigeons don't decimate fuck all when the drilling are in they eat the spill

There are some areas of London that is infested with crow and ravens.. because people leave their rubbish bags on the pavement the birds tear them apart to get at the discarded food… they leave rubbish strewn across the roads… at first I thought it was some vandals but then I saw a murder of about 20 crows (yep, a group of crows is called ‘murder’).. it was like something out of Alfred Hitchcocks ‘The Birds’.. and they were just pecking and ripping apart all the plastic bin bags.. quite shocking when you see so many..😏

I heard June 13th is when there is a meeting for the General License is this true

‘Death threats of a very serious nature’ ...as opposed to the other kind of death threats ?

Well at least he's said if culling is required then it has to be done ,what he's tried to highlight is irresponsibility of some pest controllers killing vermin when there is no need to be killed ,I pest control and I only cull pests ,just to hunt something cause you can isn't right ,maybe if farmers having problems they can call a governing body that can see the problem first hand and call in responsible pest controllers ,keep the idiots who needlessly shoot things for no reason , basc and a lot of hunters are supportive of mandatory heavy sentence for armed trespass (shooting or having rounds discharged into public spaces or private where no permission )

I read article in the BBC wildlife where he complained,about lead shots affecting the growth of this particular species of wild plant, the bottom line is and as a naturist myself is if Packham had his way all firearms of any description would be prohibited. This could just be his first attempt at testing the water to speak to see if he can push for more radical legislation in the future.

In and around my control area West Wales, the biggest and most effective maimer of lambs are ravens. Their beaks contain cutting edges, that can cut out a lambs tongue in one hit, that lamb then cannot suckle. They also take out eyes when the ewe is birthing. This has to be seen to be believed. The raven will not allow any approach by humans, but can succumb to long range rifle.

You’ve said exactly what I was thinking,so one sided and in his eyes I’m a vandal as I’m not a farmer but someone who gets permission to shoot,if I go to shoot pigeon on a farm it’s because there’s pigeon to shoot,it’s so frustrating because if there’s pigeon to shoot over crops it’s not vandalism it’s necessary lol he makes out that people just wander about in the countryside to kill without thinking why we’d be there in the first place.. not to mention that eating what you shoot saves you buying meat wrapped in plastic from Asda.. cheers as always mate keep up the great content 👍🏻

who wants packham sacked ?

Nice shooting boys, wont be long we will be back out there, while packham has just f#%##. Up his life

pigeon gl is also out now GL31

All CP did to be fair is ask for a review of gun licensing because he thought that the law was being broken. He was right, and Nature England's legal team realised that he was right and they revoked the licences. Nobody should be sacked from any job for pointing out that a law is being broken.

You are applying logic to combat Packam. The trouble is he is a zealot, so logic does not apply. If I find out he has a connection to a company then I will not but anything from them. If we all did that then they would soon drop him. They are great at shouting ban this protect that. But not if it costs them personally. Yes the farmer can lose a fortune but you can't expect me to stump up!

You need to go on good morning Britain or something because your arguing abilities are insane and you aren't stupid either, please help us save our sport we need people like you to step up from KZfaq and put yourselves on the front line, be a soldier of the rural community and not just you alone, we need people like you to do it.

Ex-pigeon shooter here, left UK 22 years ago to live in Australia. Watching your videos and talking about this radical Chris and his idiotic ideas I do believe your talking a lot of sense. I just wondering how many of the city slickers who only hear Chris’s point of view don’t hear the reality of how cruel nature is. It’s only seen by people that are out in the fields and woods. It’s so easy for people like Chris to get more support because he’s preaching to people who don’t know any different to what he tells them. Plus he has the advantage of showing his smug face on the BBC. I just believe that someone like yours self on KZfaq and I’m guessing there’s others on KZfaq like you only get heard by other KZfaqrs. I think you need to get yourself on TV and talk your talk to the hole country and wake up the public to reality of the country side and what’s going on. I’m not in the UK to see/hear the fight for the farmers and shooter side to this cock up but all I’m seeing is Chris celebrity being about to keep pushing his own point of view. As usual week pathetic government roll over to a known celebrity. Farmers and shooters need to get more into the public view and fight back showing and explaining the real fax on this situation. I just want to say there’s only one thing I miss about the UK is the pigeon shooting. I shoot here in Australia controlling pest, pest like your normal rabbits, foxes which came from the UK but also there’s pest like feral cats, wild pigs, feral camels, feral donkeys, water buffalo and others but with all that my favourite is and always will be is the wood pigeon. Get heard and save the sport of pest control or say good bye to your firearms. If you can’t shoot then they will say you don’t need the guns. They will take them away next!

This packham gob lives with bats living in his house whiting all over his living room and he said he likes to see them. Please never invite me to your house,as a rejection can hurt.

Just carry on as before, see where it goes.

What about shooting pigeons to eat? Do we all have to be vegans now or buy supermarket chickens?

Totally agree with your comment re threats to Packham.... I personally don't think that any of the decent, law abiding shooting enthusiasts would be part of this... The idiots dishing out the threats are nothing but morons....... keep up the good work mate, love your videos. Cheers and Happy Shooting.

Well done on a fantastic video, explaining why management of certain species is so important. Human beings need to own the fact, that our existence has changed the balance of nature, and it is OUR duty to try and restore that balance as much as possible. Thing is, many people don't want to own that fact. Much easier to point the finger at the bad men with guns. It helps them sleep easier at night.

One of the "threatening letters" he received looked suspiciously like his own handwriting lol

Where he films the barn owls in eltisley there's 2 occupied owl boxes on adjacent sides of a field Meadow he insists they are not both occupied as they would kill each other through being too close. I better go and tell them owls to move out cos they're too close and Packham knows The Owls better than The Owls know themselves

well said!!! I support your views

Please please who ever you are don't send these threats. We are a very good set of law abiding individuals. You are only going too do us more harm.good video by the way

i dunno if the admin is following this post however maybe the 3rd party should be questioned . as much as i agree with both sides to a certain extent. there are a tonne of issues with both farming on an industrial scale ( which im happy to have a healthy discussion. ) and also there are issues with a none balanced food chain eg too many corvids . Basically has anyone questioned that the gobshite whos piers morgan may be the one who suggested that the BASCC shouldn't go on tv . That program once did a discussion with a zoologist and a celeb off big brother talking about the need for wasps.

His objective is veganism nothing else

And that's why I love this channel man

Great video, just read new licence for pigeon shooting, totally unworkable! Just sounds like Packham dictated it! Keep making the great videos!!!

Great video. I totally agree with the comments regarding victimisation. While I in no way condone the actions against Mr Packham, he is exploiting it and lapping it up. Makes me nauseous

What eats corvids? what happened to all the birds of prey that control the birds on this list, was it landowners killing birds of prey that then led to things being out of wack. Farmers should start keeping hawks or falcons and hunt them that way all year round, doubt that people would moan about that.

I will not buy or have dealings with any company associated with this ‘man’ packham whatsoever. Tv licence now cancelled too all because of him so if anyones reading this from the beeb please please get rid of him👍

It's general licence (ce), not 'license' (se). Licence is the noun, whereas 'license' is the verb only, unless you're American. You license (verb) someone by issuing them a licence (noun), hence 'general licence' ‒ noun. Please use and preserve our English language and avoid adopting unnecessary Americanisms. xx

Chris. You have made enemies of a lot of people by your lack of understanding. Come out and see why it's done, speak to farmers. Controlling Corvids and Wood Pigeons are a must. An open licence is required. It's that simple. Leave it to the people that understand..

He needs to get a grip on species at risk of extinction than the millions of pests we've got.....

The trouble with these so called wild life experts most of them ain’t got a clue about how nature works, they protected the badger for years then they are wondering why the hedgehogs are vanishing it’s because the badger looks at them as a walking McDonald meal just strolling across the field so then the will kill and eat the hedgehogs and I understand that’s not only the cause of the decline in them, as for the pest species of birds they also need to be controlled as they kill the song birds and also lambs or just cause so much damage the lamb is suffering until the farmer can deal with them... I also heard Chris in one interview saying that hawks kill song birds so should we start culling the hawks, but as we all understand hawks are in pairs and are few are far between but as for corvids they are in flocks most times and will cause tremendous amount of damage to the smaller species of birds so this is telling me that Chris do not understand nature... I have had loads of trouble with the carrions smashing my duck eggs and playing hell with my ducks so I do shoot them, also it’s beyond why he wants the shooting of wood pigeons as the destroy crops and I hope the farmers put in compensation for their losses and for the work they putting into growing them, I wonder is the feral pigeon comes under this ban as all pigeons looks feral

Packham has a very narrow view and no joined up thinking. He needs to feel important and it does not matter what damage he does in that aim. No apology for the suffering he caused by the general licence cock up.

Pouty Packham fooooll?

Is anybody with me one this chris He really gets on my nerves

You didn't get invited on sadly. As you would destroy him fact

Well I shoot every magpie that comes within my air rifle range and I live in a town up yours packham

I shoot all year round. Mainly rats. But I also shot both fox and vixen after they took a lamb. I shoot crows and other pest birds too. Crows and magpies peck out lambs eyes alive so I enjoy ridding the farm off these horrible creatures.. Even if he got a ban on any of them I'd still shoot them cos I tell you now that the farmer won't tell on me haha.

He just got paid 17m

Maybe all the liberal vegans will encourage corvids to go vegan

I’ve seen zero evidence of corvid type birds attacking any farm animal. I’m a wildlife ranger who lives on farmland. My uncle owns a vast farm too. I’ve seen hundreds of jackdaws and crows and none are interested in healthy sheep or songbirds. They’ve nested side by side with no issue. This is over 40 years experience of rehab of every mammal and bird in the UK. I’ve witnessed and observed every single thing

Thanks for your input Elmer Fudd, I'm sure karma will treat you well

Chris who?

Oh I can’t talk about what happened last night havnt spoke to police then goes ahead and tells them I got very serious death threats , what’s a non serious death threat ??? This as you say is just a big play on sympathy!

Pimple head packham has a new book coming out , he’s been on extinction rebellion march, he’s gone vegan on social media and now that’s a lot of free publicity, he plays on his Asperger (difficulty’s in social interaction ) is a form of autism, when you think about taking your own life because your pet fish died ,that’s nothing to do with his Aspergers , that is a real sick mental disorder that should be addressed , he was bullied in school and now sees the bullies as shooters and is cowardly taking it out on them , he’s also a attention seeker to make himself feel good because of his low self esteem, basically the spoilt child that has never grow up, and can’t have his own way , why are government authorities being dictated too by people like him, probably because it’s takes the heat of real issues of the day and what all farmers should do is to sew packhams wild justice and natural England for loss of revenue

Get on

Bloody excuses. Your killers and you love it.

E

Who the fuck is this cris Pac-Man , does he live in a city perhaps did he get his degree from Leeds University in the 90’s I left Scotland as a deerstalker in 2004 for Alaska , I had seen the writing on the wall back in the late nineties with an all powerful SNH , yup well I’m off to the grouse catch ya later

You are a legend. Love the ranting

The song birds don’t stand a chance, they get it from all angles, property developers, birds of prey, corvids and modern gardens that aren’t bird friendly. If the song birds go then we’re all in trouble. This mess needs sorting out and I need to be able to blast the feathers of corvids and pigeons again.

Great footage of what not to do in the hide!!!,two shooters ,shooting at the same time is not the greatest idea,with barrels moving towards each other is it????...come on ,safety first.

by shooting all these corvids you are denying chris is favourite delacy s*** on his musile. lol. unfortunatly the guy is in the public eye and people watch the lovely fluffy animals and agree with his opinion and as you say they dont know any better.

I love shooting if its done by farmers cool
