He has vowed to continue with even louder protests against violence to animals in the UK
Chris Packham has said his CBE is a thank you from the animals that have been saved from suffering due to his conservation work.
The naturalist and TV presenter, who has spoken out against fox hunting, badger culling and the killing of birds of prey, has been given the award in the Queen’s New Year Honours list for his services to nature conservation.
Despite seeing his honour as thanks for his conservation work to date, the 57-year-old.
In the New Year honours list, fashion icon Twiggy, Thai cave rescuers, author Philip Pullman, politicians, sports people and ordinary people were celebrated.
In a statement to the Press Association, he said: “In an age where illegal fox hunting, the continued persecution of birds of prey and the unscientific, uneconomic and inhumane culling of badgers continue, our wildlife needs a voice to shout above the noise.
“Maybe the silent have spoken, maybe a terrified fox, a wounded harrier or a trapped badger whispered and this is their thanks.
“I’ll take that, say ‘Ta very much’ and stop shouting – (so I can) start screaming, and I won’t stop until the killing does.”
