The company that supplied the animals for Celebrity Farm, France's most popular reality TV show, is suing the producers because too many died.
Arts France, which provided chickens, goats, ducks and even a small pony for the programme, said yesterday it had not been allowed too look after the birds and animals properly and was taking legal action.
"There was a total lack of respect for the animals," said Alain Jaillard, the company's managing director. "We asked for special equipment to transport them; it was refused. We warned of problems months ago; nothing was done."
