Lambs given restraining order against Springwatch hosts

Nature News: A number of lambs featured in the BBC television programme Springwatch have been granted a restraining order against the show’s hosts.

In his ruling at the Old Bailey earlier today, Judge John Guten-Blick, said that Springwatch presenters Kate Humble and Adam Henson seemed ‘obsessed’ with watching the lambs.

Humble and Henson reportedly used both binoculars and night vision equipment to maintain round-the-clock surveillance, videotaping the lambs for ‘deeply sinister purposes’.

“They wouldn’t leave us alone,” said one of the lambs, who wished to remain anonymous. “Most of the time they stayed in the trees, inside a camouflaged hide – but we knew they were there. Watching us.”

“It was just really creepy,” said another lamb. “They ruined our lives. None of us felt like playfully gamboling in a field with those two around.”
