... about my complaint to the BBC about the descriptions of a forest in India as "infested" with wild animals:
Finally, today, Colin Tregear of the Executive Complaints Unit, (the third person to address my complaint) threw me a crumb:
"I understand your strength of feeling and I accept “infested” may not have been the most appropriate word to use in this context."
There was other boring stuff about how no one would have been confused by it blah blah blah but I count this as a minor victory.
The constant drip-feeding of anti-wildlife sentiments into our eyes and ears is something that must be resisted!
