I know it was clearly mentioned in the Telegraph and I'm fairly certain it was also mentioned in the DM. It may also have been mentioned on the BBC website as well. Hardly completely silent! AIUI he strongly supported protection for nature as a whole i.e. the ecosystem rather than any particular animal(s). I believe he hated what he termed as "bunny huggers"
