To: Failing to address the needs and rights of domesticated rabbits.
Exotic rabbits
More support and options for rabbit owners.
Why is this important?
To help give myself and domesticated rabbits support and all the love to help get them the recognition they truly deserve.
I've recently had a distressing week with my 9 lionhead rabbits all dropping dead one after the other within 4 days I'm having hay food etc tested and now a rabbit may have to be dug up if these samples come back negative very distressing for myself when a simple blood or wee sample could of determined the cause. I was told because their exotic they won't do blood test so chances are they can then be treated wrongly. The owners should have an option to be given a sample and get it tested themselves privately. I'd like to see rabbits with the same rights as a cat and dog. As they are the third most popular pet and the least thought of or neglected. I'd like more food and accessories on the shelves the laws 1939 and 1954 need addressing. All rabbits but mainly pet rabbits need recognition and dignity. They should be treated the same way that they treat their owners with love care respect. There is over 1 million adult rabbit owners in UK 2% of the owners raising them indoors.
