Freedom for Farmed Rabbits

While the battery cage may be on the way out for hens, tragically it’s only on the rise for rabbits. Currently across Australia, thousands of domestic rabbits are factory farmed, confined to raised wire cages for the entirety of their lives before being slaughtered for meat.

Freedom for Farmed Rabbits, a Melbourne-based organisation, is working to uncover the disturbing conditions which exist behind shed doors and abolish this largely unknown industry.

Rabbits raised in these factory environments are unable to display any forms of natural behaviour and often suffer severe psychological trauma. Fighting, injuries and disease are rife, with farms reporting up to a 40% mortality rate, one of the highest of any industry. Governed by nothing more than a voluntary code of practice, farms often go completely unlicensed and unregulated.

While petitioning and protesting against companies that profit from rabbit exploitation, Freedom for Farmed Rabbits also works to educate the public so that the demand for rabbit flesh and fur is removed. The organisation therefore highlights the unconscionable practice by targeting consumers and suppliers alike, as well as government.
