'Blue Peter' sorry for goat slaughter

The children's show showed footage of its demise including of the animal's agonised throes of death as part of coverage an Omanian village preparing for its Eid ul-Fitr festival.
Viewers complained to Ofcom and the watchdog has ruled that the goat was clearly seen “twitching”, in close-up, scenes which were “not appropriate on this occasion”.
The BBC showed the scenes from behind and in long-shot so the method of slaughter was not visible.
However, it has admitted that it realised immediately that too much detail was shown and apologised.
