For those of you on social media you may recently have been introduced to gamekeeper* Glenn Massacre.
For those of you not on social media, here’s your introduction, via a recently filmed conversation between Chris Packham and Glenn.
They have a nice chat about driven grouse shooting and Glenn provides some fascinating insights from a gamekeeper’s perspective.
There’ll be more to come from Glenn Massacre over the coming weeks.
You can watch this first conversation here:

*For the avoidance of doubt, Glenn Massacre is obviously a parody, created by the evil genius Henry Morris.

Excellent piece. Please can you ask the erudite Glenn Massacre to explain Schrodinger’s pheasant. It has always been a mystery to me.
Satire is always so on the mark. Thanks for the laugh if it wasn’t so true and so tragic.
Love this, but for those who take everything literally it might be an idea to add “satire” or “tongue in cheek” somewhere! I find it hard to imagine that Chris could have a civilised, genial conversation with someone from the shooting fraternity.
Hi Terry, Chris has had plenty of conversations with members of the shooting fraternity, even inviting them for a chat during his slot at the Bird Fair several years ago after he & Mark Avery were ‘uninvited’ from a slot at the Game Fair because the organisers said they couldn’t ensure their safety!
Wonder if Mr Slaughter has a FRICS accreditation? Without that, how are we to tell if he is a man of integrity?
Sorry, but I did not find it funny. Lacked the subtlety so essential in satire. Too obvious from the start. Rather juvenile I thought. Good idea poorly executed.
stick to reporting facts as you have done so well over the years. This sort of thing just has the potential to muddy the waters.
totally agree with last 2 comments,I like this site it’s great but it’s not a comedy show,it tells the harsh facts about grouse moors that boils my blood,but not this it’s silly.
Me too. ‘Silly’ sums it up nicely.
I thought it was very good. Some commentators have missed the point. This skit was not for the likes of RP UK readers but to get the message across to a wider audience, humour is a very good way of during that.
I’ll have anything Chris Packham. I’m sure Chris would have meant very well with it and was just trying to get points across in a different way whether silly or not and like Mo Richards says to a wider audience.
