Rabbit Friendly

🐰⚖️ FRIDAY THE 13TH: BAD LUCK OR BAD LAWS? Rabbits and hares don't need lucky charms. They need effective animal welfare legislation. At Hop to Save Rabbits, we're working to address the gaps that arise when animals are classified differently as companions, livestock or wildlife. Our work has included: 🌍 31 formal submissions and representations across 11 countries and the EU. 🇬🇧 Three written evidence submissions published in House of Commons records. 🐰 International research and advocacy covering breeding, abandonment, commercial slaughter, veterinary welfare and wildlife protection. On 3 November, I attended an animal welfare reception at the UK Parliament, continuing our efforts to put rabbits and hares on the policy agenda. Our South African campaign asks policymakers to consider stronger protection for rabbits rather than simply regulating commercial slaughter. More than 8,200 people have signed. ✍️ c.org/JyXQMtDWkf 💜 RABBITS DON'T NEED MORE LUCK. THEY NEED BETTER LAWS. #Friday13th #AnimalLaw #RabbitWelfare #HareProtection #HopToSaveRabbits

🐰🇿🇦 2,000 RABBITS A DAY. AT ONE ABATTOIR. That's the maximum daily slaughter capacity proposed for a single low-throughput rabbit abattoir in South Africa. For high-throughput facilities, the draft sets no fixed numerical ceiling. These are proposed capacities, not confirmed slaughter figures. But behind every number is a living animal capable of feeling fear, pain and distress. At Hop to Save Rabbits, we believe commercial rabbit slaughter should end — not simply be regulated. 💜 More than 8,200 people have signed our petition. Will you help us reach 10,000? ✍️ c.org/JyXQMtDWkf 🐰 THEY ARE LIVES, NOT PRODUCTION FIGURES. #HopToSaveRabbits #RabbitWelfare #SouthAfrica #StopRabbitAbattoirs
