Rabbits are one of the most poorly regulated farmed animals globally. Conventional battery cages for farmed rabbits cause severe welfare harms through frustration of movement and social needs.
Farmed rabbits in conventional battery cages are among the most welfare-compromised farm animals. Their need to run, jump, and rest at elevated positions cannot be met in small wire cages. Bone fragility from inactivity means rabbits commonly sustain fractures. Park system housing that provides more space, enrichment, and social housing produces substantially better behavioral and physical welfare outcomes.
