Millions of rabbits are being kept in awful conditions across Europe and
farmed for their meat: cramped cages with no room to hop, wire floors that
result in pressure sores.

Tell the European Commission: ban caged rabbit farming now!

John,

Demand for rabbit meat is skyrocketing—by the end of next year 1.8 million
tonnes of rabbit meat will have been farmed globally.

But the meat industry's working from the animal cruelty playbook: rabbits
locked in cages with dead rabbits and so little space they can't even hop.

The European Commission was meant to release its plan to ban caged animal
farming a year ago. But it missed its own deadline. Public pressure forced
Austria, Germany and the Netherlands to ban caged rabbit farming, now
let's expand this ban across Europe and then the world.

Industrial rabbit farms often isolate these social animals in individual
cages. Rabbits gnaw on the bars of their cages in distress and have been
found with painful pressure sores on their feet because of wire floors.

The new college of EU Commissioners officially start on December 1. So
now’s our opportunity to get this on their agenda and demand the European
Commission keep its promises. It’s time for the EU to end the cage age.

When we work together we’re a powerful force for change. Global pressure
forced the egg farming industry to lift its standards for chickens. And
just recently Ekō members like you were part of a push that saw California
pass a historic bill banning octopus farming!

Now, let’s call on the EU to fulfil its promises and ban caged rabbit
farming.
