    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

      Man the next time I go to the UK I’m going to tell the passport guy that I’m going to sniff the birds and see what he says.

      Then when he raises and eyebrow follow it up with “They don’t let us sniff chicks in the US anymore ever since that whole me too” 😎

        Panda hate is a common thing in conservation circles. Money on conservation that is spent on Panda could be effectively used elsewhere etc.

          Is that why they are so poorly treated in western zoos that multiple died and multiple more almost died and had to be evacuated back to China? Cause there’s no denying those pandas were abused horrifically, and I just couldn’t understand why.
