THE BBC programme Springwatch is wonderfully done, is a credit to them and promotes the care and understanding of many creatures.

It is disappointing then, that I have to agree with Steve Broom (June 11) who believes the BBC is a biased organisation.

It is also hypocritical too as each day we hear of the promotion of meat meals, most of it factory farmed involving unacceptable levels of intense suffering to millions of sentient creatures.

No "Springwatch principles" there then, so their concern is limited to several wild creatures and birds, but chickens and turkeys are birds too, but their suffering is ignored.

A friend has recently rescued many factory- farmed chickens and they look as if they have been in hell and so they have.
