BBC One viewers were unhappy whilst watching the latest episode of Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out due to the "cruelty" to rabbits.
The backlash comes as viewers weren't impressed with the size of a hutch that a family's pet rabbits were rehoused in and one animal welfare group even hit out at it saying they were "very disappointed".
In the episode Stacey and her team are assisting the Fall family to help them clear the excessive clutter in their home. The family of four packed up their lives into boxes and discovered that they have 2,137 toys, 452 books, 13 guitars, 61 mugs and 1,274 tools.
And viewers were left fuming when their pet rabbits were moved out of a conservatory and shoved outside in a "completely unsuitable" hutch, sparking backlash on social media, writes Leicester Live.
Many said they thought the hutch was too small and that it wasn't weather-proofed, with one calling it "irresponsible".
One tweeted: "Pretty disappointed to see Stacey Solomon and the BBC perpetuating terrible rabbit welfare standards on her show. It’s not difficult to do some really basic research on rabbit welfare. Do better. #SortYourLifeOut."
Another wrote: "Stacey Solomon, What you did to those rabbits was absolute cruelty. They're not toys." Channie (@animalsandmetal) simply put: "@StaceySolomon educate yourself."
While one penned: "Made the mistake of watching the end of #SortYourLifeOut. Poor rabbits got kicked out of the conservatory into a crappy, tiny, non-weatherproofed hutch outside! Completely unsuitable and irresponsible".
Another tweeted: "@BBCOne Disappointed by the size of the rabbit hutch provided by the #sortyourlifeout. I understand the program is not about pets but research into what would be best housing should of taken
