Jeremy Clarkson has been told to make a seismic change at Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds by PETA.
The former Top Gear and The Grand Tour host originally purchased the spot, then known as Curdle Hill Farm, in 2008.
It is the main setting and focus for the documentary series Clarkson’s Farm, which has four seasons to date on Prime Video.
Problems have arisen in recent weeks, though, with a series of serious issues plaguing Mr Clarkson and his team.
The 65-year-old announced that a case of Bovine TB had hit Diddly Squat: “Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.”
He then added later: “I should clear this up, really. It’s Bovine TB that we have.
“It doesn’t affect people, just our poor cows.”
Following the outbreak of bovine tuberculosis at Diddly Squat Farm, PETA has sent the TV presenter a letter.
The letter urges him to transform the farm into an animal sanctuary and focus on his mushroom and vegetable farming.
If Clarkson agrees to the plant-powered proposal, PETA would celebrate by making him the ambassador for its new website, BritishFarming.org.
This site encourages farmers, consumers, and policymakers to end animal suffering, protect the environment, and support rural communities by switching to kind, sustainable plant farming.
“As Jeremy Clarkson knows, cows and other animals suffer immensely when they’re confined and killed for their flesh, milk, or eggs,” said PETA Vice President of Vegan Corporate Projects Dawn Carr.
“By turning Diddly Squat into a sanctuary and growing only plants, he could help inspire a farming revolution and show the world that kindness is the future of agriculture.”
PETA is not the only organisation which has got in touch with Mr Clarkson following the news of the outbreak.
Brian May, guitarist of the rock band Queen, has reached out to the motoring journalist, according to the Daily Express.
The musician’s Save Me Trust has contacted Mr Clarkson following the TB outbreak, despite the pair previously disagreeing about badger culling.
When contacted by the Daily Express, the charity confirmed that Anne Brummer, who, in 2009, alongside Mr May, founded the charity, had been in touch.
The news of the outbreak was followed up with more bad news as Mr Clarkson added that this year’s crop intake will be “catastrophic”.
The former Top Gear presenter said: “It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food.
“If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
