We can no longer afford to waste time with being polite or hold people in veneration because they have good PR and are TV celebrities. Remember that many "celebrities" at the BBC and ITV love to go out shooting and killing wildlife for 'fun'. Whereas the BBC will simply not tolerate a celebrity it owns making a political statement about social wrongs on their personal social media it seems that taking part in cruel animal killing is "a private matter".
Making a lot of money from TV work while anything actually done is carried out by groups we have a naturalist who has simply refused to make any public statement on blood sports so as not to offend the BBC and his rich friends who enjoy killing wildlife. One condemning statement from Attenborough could shift public opinion and politicians attitudes and see an end to blood sports.
Sir David Attenborough has had long-standing friendships with various members of the British royal family, particularly King Charles III, Prince William, and the late Queen Elizabeth II, marked by a shared passion for environmental conservation. His close bond with the royals began when he met Princess Anne and Prince Charles as a child and continued through decades of mutual admiration and collaboration on conservation initiatives.
Sir David Attenborough has not made explicit public statements denouncing blood sports, but his consistent advocacy for animal welfare and conservation, and his visible support for the Royal Family to give up blood sports, strongly implies his opposition to hunting for sport.
King Charles has always been a lover of blood sports -in 2025 he sacked a gamekeeper as there were not enough pheasants to shoot. An advocate for conservation and the environment so long as he gets his 'fun'.
And let's not forget Harry loves a good shoot
Well, all that can be said for Attenborough's attempts is that he gets -1 because if , after many decades, he has never paused the Royals love to shoot and kill at home and abroad one can only assume Royal Patronage was more important.
