There is a fairly weird article in The Metro saying that wildlife filmers 'breach animals' right to privacy', which mentions David Attenborough (the population cull fanaticist).
Well, maybe they do, maybe they don't, but for some inexplicable reason, they illustrate the article with a picture of David Bellamy, who hasn't been on telly for years because of his refusal to go along with the global warming nonsense.
Hmm.

No, that photo isn't actually 'part' of rhe story (at least, in my copy). It's a seperate bit because he opened a thing in Butterfly World - they've just juxtaposed the two...
Qutoe from article.
"The TV and film studies lecturer at East Anglia University".
The looney versity of East Anglia.
Ah the very paragon of politicised Junk Science itself .
Sour grapes towards Bellamy from that lot.
Quacks and Thieving gits.
JM, that's the funny thing. In the printed edition, the Bellamy story is quite a separate story in its own right, but somehow the internet version has more permanence that the printed one.
Disgraceful! They breach animals' privacy and, what's more, they film them in the nude and sell the pictures!
Something must be done!
Especially when you consider it's their new-born and young being filmed naked and the results sold.
Utterly scandalous.
Wondered what had happened to Bellamy.
What an utterly large pile of poo. How can you even begin to attribute "rights" to animals that will never understand the concept.
Human rights go way to far. Animal rights is bordering on the preposterous and animal rights to privacy reads more like an April fools joke than a serious article.
Its the minerals I feel sorry for.
Maybe we could start a campaign..
They still let Clarkson go on the telly; rather too often in fact. I suspect it's got more to do the the considerable undergrowth on Bellamy's chin. Can't think of any serious heavily bearded TV presentors nowadays. Can you?
Clarkson is the Beeb's licensed fool. He's allowed, within very strict limits, to mildly mock the establishment but if he were ever to step off the reservation he'd be toast.
Which would be a shame, because then what would Dave show 24/7.
Macheath's comment reminds me that years ago in the US there was a spoof campaign to prevent animals appearing in the nude. In one demo the "campaigners" marched an elephant down Pennsylvania Avenue in a nifty pair of trousers which covered its nether parts.
At that point in the "campaign" some total loonies (whose spiritual descendants are now in the Film Unit of the UEA) took the whole thing both seriously and national. It was only when the originators of the joke came clean that the "campaign" fell to pieces.
