The new series of the BBC nature show Springwatch debuted last night, but viewers expressed disgust and issued complaints about the graphic scenes that aired. The episode featured a segment on the predatory behavior of lions, which some viewers found disturbing.
Springwatch presenter Chris Packham acknowledged the complaints, saying that he understands why some viewers were upset. Packham said that the show is committed to showing the realities of nature, both the beautiful and the cruel. He added that the show's producers take great care not to sensationalize or exploit the animals they film.
Despite the complaints, Springwatch remains a popular show with viewers. The program has been running for over 20 years and has won numerous awards. Springwatch continues on BBC Two on Monday May 27 with presenters Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan, and Iolo Williams.
