Countryfile is a TV show broadcast on the BBC revolving around farming and the rural community. It averages 6 million viewers per episode.

The show describes its self as a "news magazine" and "factual series" but does not present an accurate picture of animal agriculture the UK. Cruel yet standard practices are not featured and animals are almost always depicted in high welfare conditions. This is in contrast to reality where 73% of UK farm animals are raised on factory farms.

Complain to the BBC asking them to give a more accurate representation of animal agriculture on Countryfile.
