Protest Inhumane Rabbit Farming
Goal: End the cruel treatment of rabbits on rabbit farms
March 5, 2013 Force change To; European Commission’s Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dacian Ciolos
Dear Directorate-General Dacian Ciolos,
The European Union has been making remarkable strides in animal rights recently.
New regulations have been enacted to protect a wide variety of animals, and the
international community has applauded these actions. Now, however, it is time to
take the next step.
The rabbit farms in the EU are home to a number of horrific abuses, and they have been garnering global outrage. These are not difficult problems to fix or regulate. The animals simply need safety, humane treatment, and adequate housing with room to move around. These are things that they deserve as living creatures, and it is time to grant these things to them.
By regulating rabbit farms, the EU will continue on its respected path towards a safer world for animals, and it will earn the applause of the global community. By taking simple steps to protect rabbits, the EU will have made the world a better, safer place for the world as a whole. It is time to end one more horrific practice, and make mandatory the humane treatment of these animals.
Note: This is a petition that brings awareness to the terrible conditions of rabbits cruelly kept in battery cages, just like hens are. It’s a global injustice.
May 17, 2016: Today, representatives of Compassion In World Farming, delivered its biggest online petition ever to a meeting of Europe’s Agriculture Ministers in Brussels. A big thank you to the 601,435 people who signed this petition calling on Europe’s politicians to End the Cage Age for farmed rabbits. Let’s get the same done for the rabbits in Canada!
