rabbits

Rabbits are lively creatures that like to move – and are quickly bored. They need social contact, space, distraction and activity in order to feel good. People keep rabbits as domestic animals because of their alert character and cute appearance. But far more rabbits are farmed for their meat and live out a miserable existence in narrow cages. FOUR PAWS advocates an end to cage-rearing and better living conditions for rabbits.
