Stacey Solomon’s Sort Your Life Out hit with over 1.5k complaints over ‘animal cruelty’
STACEY Solomon’s series Sort Your Life Out has been hit with more than 1.5k complaints over “animal cruelty”.
During a recent episode of the BBC1 series – which sees Stacey, 33, help to transform homes – she was slammed by fans when she made the decision to move a family’s pet rabbits out of the conservatory to an outside hutch.
The show received the highest number of complaints for all BBC shows between 30 January and 12 February, with a total of 1,502.
Following the episode’s airing, the Rabbit Welfare Association and Trust shared a link with Twitter to followers who wished to complain.
When the show ended with the rabbits being removed from the conservatory and put into a new home in the garden, furious fans hit out online.
One furious follower told Stacey: “Stacey, we were super disappointed to see the latest episode of your BBC show.
“Please refer to rabbitwelfare.co.uk and educate yourself on rabbit welfare and husbandry.
“Your lack of knowledge is very concerning, especially when being broadcast live on TV.
“Please do the right thing and address this issue, they don’t deserve to live in a hutch!”
Another said: “I’m really angry about those rabbits that you chucked outside into a little hutch on your programme.
“Please have a look at the RWAF website and educate yourself on what rabbits need, that awful little hutch was like a prison cell.
“Please get in touch with the owners of those rabbits again and get them some appropriate housing then give us an update on what you are doing to improve this. Really sad to see you promoting animal cruelty.”
