Aut_Scot Report post Posted November 30, 2017 He has a short film clip on the BBC website today. "Chris Packham wants better education for children with autism .......

trekster Report post Posted December 1, 2017 Great idea he can start by getting rid of the stereotype that we don't have empathy because his relatives showed this in the film. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeolienne Report post Posted January 5, 2018 The bit about him being in a relationship with a zookeeper surprised me a bit, because I'd seen him quoted in press releases by the Captive Animals Protection Society (who are anti-zoos). Then again, just because he gives them the odd soundbite doesn't mean he buys into their entire philosophy. It's a bit like Martina Navratilova lending her support to PeTA's anti-fur campaign whilst turning a blind eye to their blanket opposition to animal experimentation ("Even if it led to a cure for Aids, we'd still be against it"). Here's a rather provocative piece by Chris in his capacity as a zookeeper's significant other: Why killing Marius the giraffe was justified - even though it's a PR disaster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
