Outraged Countryfile fans blast show as ‘disgusting’ and ‘turn off’ controversial episode

thesun.co.uk:

COUNTRYFILE fans blasted the BBC for broadcasting an episode dedicated to shooting and gamekeeping in a controversial move. The episode featured tales of shooting still taking place across many UK countryside hotspots.

Viewers of the BBC One show denounced the show as they felt it was tone-deaf to feature segments about people spending large amounts of money to shoot living birds amidst the cost of living crisis.

The show featured different case studies of individuals and businesses who still partake in shooting with many of them claiming that they would be left 'jobless' should they no longer be allowed to continue with the eyebrow-raising tradition.

But the episode did not sit well with fans who felt the show was glamorising the act of shooting. Fans flooded Twitter with their thoughts after they were left outraged by the decision to air the episode.
