Rabbits are the third most farmed mammal globally, yet welfare regulations lag behind other species; barren wire cages deny their core behavioral needs.
Farmed rabbits in conventional cages experience chronic frustration of motivational behaviors including burrowing, hiding, and rearing up. Foot sores from wire flooring are common. The scale of rabbit farming - and the near-complete absence of public awareness - makes this a significant and neglected welfare issue.
