How to complain about the Channel 4 'How to Steal Pigs' documentary

15th Jan 2020 / By Alistair Driver

Last night’s Channel 4 documentary, How to Steal Pigs and Influence People, showed blatant criminal activity, including, as the title suggests, numerous cases of pigs being stolen from farms.

It also showed a mass protest at an unsuspecting pig farm, which imposes a huge strain on the farmer and their family, as well as causing animal welfare problems for the pigs and posing a serious biosecurity risk.

The NPA is taking legal advice to help inform our next steps, whilst our anger over the programme has been shared across the pig sector and the wider farming community.

If you felt strongly about the programme and wish to complain to Channel 4, Ofcom or even your MP, here is how you can do that:
