In the unearthed clip from Jimmy And The Giant Supermarket, three day-old cows were killed simply because they were male.

Presenter Jimmy Doherty looked close to tears as he witnessed their "harrowing" deaths, before explaining how more than 90,000 were killed at birth every year.

At the time, more than 60 people complained to Ofcom about the graphic programme, which aired at 9.30pm.

"These Jersey calves should be living full lives, but this morning they are to be shot. Two were born yesterday and the other in the early hours of this morning," the 41-year-old told those at home.
