Freedom for Farmed Rabbits campaign uncovers the disturbing conditions that exist behind shed doors

Currently across Australia, thousands of domestic rabbits are factory farmed, confined to raised wire cages for the entirety of their lives before being slaughtered for meat. Freedom for Farmed Rabbits, a Melbourne-based organization, is working to uncover the disturbing conditions which exist behind shed doors and abolish this largely unknown industry. Rabbits raised in these factory environments

are unable to display any forms of natural behaviour and often suffer severe psychological trauma. Fighting, injuries and disease are rife, with farms reporting up to a 40% mortality rate, one of the highest of any industry. Governed by nothing more than a voluntary code of practice, farms often go completely unlicensed and unregulated. While petitioning and protesting against companies that profit from rabbit exploitation, Freedom for Farmed Rabbits also works to educate the public so that the demand for rabbit flesh and fur is removed. The organization therefore highlights the unconscionable practice by targeting consumers and suppliers alike, as well as government.

These poor dogs desperately need to be rescued from the pound as their time is up. To save them, they require foster carers. Is anyone able to foster so as they are saved? They only have until morning.

For 15 years, we have been exposing the cruelty inside rabbit farms in Australia, The ultimate and horrific fate of these rabbits has been unattainable for the public to see - until now!

This is an Australian first. This footage obtained by will show the public just what happens to these gentle and intelligent animals once they reach approximately 10 weeks old, or their productivity expires.

Please make sure to follow to see this footage and let it motivate you to take a stand for rabbits!

Initially, this picture of the cheekiest bun currently at the rescue was taken for Valentines Day. However, we had terrible storms here in Melbourne at that time, and we were without internet for over a week and missed our chance to post.

Not that Buster needs a special occasion to be posted. We thought this Easter, his adorable face should accompany the message - Bunnies are for life! Not Easter gifts or any special occasion. This includes children's birthday presents (we get many of these requests for adoption)

Rabbits are complicated and can be expensive. Please always adopt, don't shop! A reputable rescue will always help you with the adoption process and make sure a rabbit is suited to you and your home.

On that topic! Buster here is on the lookout for a home. Please get in touch with us for more information 🙂

Phineas has been spending the last week bonding with his new wife bun, Jae! We are so thrilled that he has finally found his match and is off to start his new life with his new family. We’d like to thank our wonderful volunteers and Beary Fuzzy Forever Rescue for giving us a helping hand during this busy period of the year.

Phineas’ story: Phineas was saved by Freedom for Farmed Rabbits after we were made aware from a friend that he was locked in a horrible bird cage with a broken leg and no food. Luckily we were able to help Phineas with his leg and bring him back to good health, with his leg working just perfectly fine.

Honey & Brayden are still waiting for a loving forever home..

This is our second time posting them up as sadly we have had zero applications or interest for this gorgeous pair.

We want to share them again in the hopes that someone out there will open up their home to them. Honey and Brayden are very much in love and obsessed with each other so we'd like them to stay together. Both are very social, desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and litter trained!

They would be so happy to have found their home just in time for Christmas. Please share this post to help them find their new home.

If you would like to meet this pair please comment below or send us a direct message and we will be in touch with you.

Introducing HONEY & BRAYDEN

These two beautiful souls are madly in love and looking for a loving forever home together. Honey is a very confident, sweet girl who loves to be involved in everything around her (quite a sticky beak at times!) She is incredibly inquisitive and enjoys a good head rub and will repay you with plenty of entertainment with her happy binkies around the house!

Because of Honey's long luscious fur, it's recommended that she has professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to maintain not only her beauty, but also to help keep her comfortable and healthy. She has a lovely groomer that knows her well and will travel to her.

Brayden is the sweetest, most caring gentleman. He can be a little shy and unsure at first, but once he warms up and gets to know you, he really is a total sweet heart. As soon as he is settled into his surroundings he does the most adorable happy bunny flops that warm your heart to see him so comfortable.

Both bunnies are fantastic hay eaters and LOVE fresh veggies! Their favourite time of day is when they hear their pellet or treat packet crinkle! They will come charging over and do laps around your feet until they get their treat hit! These buns are currently in foster care with a family with kids, so they are quite use to the noise and chaos of family life!

If you are looking for two social, loved up bunnies, Honey and Brayden may just be the pair for you! They are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and litter trained.

Remembering Harley, the rabbit rescued at the same time as Maya the lamb. Both were oppressed, both victims of different industries. Though incredibly different, both species were considered a means to an end.Both would not have lived to see their first birthday if they had not found refuge with us.

All beings deserve to live cruelty free!

Urgent! Foster care / permanent home needed for Gordon!

Melbourne Victoria
We have been contacted by a very genrrous member of the public trying to help save this poor boy. The information we have to date is below. Please inbox us if you can be of assistance.

'Gordon needs to be an only pet and needs an experienced owner who can teach him about love and socialisation. He’s 8 years old, friendly, and healthy … but he’s uncertain about lots of ‘normal’ things because he’s never been socialised. All food and other expenses will be covered"

24/11/2023

We are so thrilled to be included in fundraiser this year!

Bring your bunny, guinea pig, or rat along to get a high-resolution photo taken with Santa for just $30 a ticket!
100% of all proceeds are shared between rabbit rescues.

Lilo might not be a rabbit. However she does share the bossy bunny trait! She's bossy in the most demanding princess way, and so she should! This girl deserves to finally assert her wants and needs.

After being purchased from a petshop then later left out on the streets to fend for herself. Thankfully at 6 years old she wandered into the yard of the right people, who have committed to helping her find the perfect retirement home.

Lilo shows her appreciation for being rescued, by giving lots of cuddles and loves to curl up and sleep on your bed. Not to mention she is stunning to look at! If you want to know more about her cheeky ways, head over to petrescue.com.au or email us directly.

Its time to ban gas chambers now!

AT FFR we stand for all animals.
We fight for other species, as we do rabbits. All animals are innocent and deserve to live a life free of fear,pain and abuse.

These past months we have joined Farm Transparency Project in fighting the pork industry. After their exposure of pigs being gassed alive in slaughterhouse across Victoria.

We have chained ourselves to slaughterhouse killing equipment, stood outside slaughterhouses to say goodbye to pigs on their way to their death, paid tribute to pigs who died in the most brutal way at memorials and educated the public through outreach on the atrocities that pigs endure.

This is just the beginning! We won't stop until they ban this barbaric practice.

We call on during this national week of action and demand he .

Today is international rabbit day! Today your news feed might be full of appreciation posts. Adorable rabbit photos of buns living their best life. Loved, adored and appreciated. All of the things these special creatures deserve.

However we ask you not to forget the millions of rabbits that suffer every minute of their short existence in rabbit farms. In Australia rabbits sit in pain, dying from disease, stress, malnutrition and broken hearts.

International rabbit day means nothing to these rabbits. They are not seen or heard. We must speak up for them! Until every cage is empty.

This was the moment one very relieved little mum bunny left the pound, on her freedom ride with her precious cargo. Four little new born babies that she gave birth to shortly after arriving there. The pound is a scary place for animals, even more so when you have a several babies to care for. For almost a week this brave mum has nurtured her babies through tough times. Finally she can rest knowing they are safe and sound.

Cloudy's babies are a week old today❤️

Ollie's poor little eyes might not work, but look out for those teeth😁

We are seeking a very special person to help us make Elliot's Christmas wish come true. This ginger kid needs a home! Elliot is the sweetest loveliest, smoochiest boy on the planet. No exaggeration. His happy place is in your arms. He's a bit of a chonky boy, and our arms are getting tired from cuddling this boy 😆 He is very needy to say the least. Elliot came from the streets, yet is so grateful to be saved he just wants a human all to himself. Due to being on the street and left with a untreated condition Eosinophilic Granuloma(in lamen terms, he can develop ulcers on his mouth) Elliot has lost all of his front teeth. He will live with this disease for life. However it is now easily managed with antibiotics, if he has a flare up. He has an appetite as big as his loving heart. So has no trouble eating The catch: Elliot being the needy snuggle bug he is, can get very jealous of other animals. So we are looking for someone who currently doesn't have other pets. It sounds like an impossible ask. However we believe there must be someone out there who is looking to receive all the love Elliot has to give and give a little back❤ Our inbox is open if you would like to know more. Please understand we are working through a bulk of messages. Don't be discouraged if you don't get an immediate reply.

Just incase you hadn't seen enough of Ollie 😁 Here he is, discovering dehydrated apple treats his foster mum made. His little bops to beat are too much.

Little Ollie, blind and disabled. Yet still able to sense, hear and smell the world around him. He's loved and safe. He has no idea how cruel the world, just outside this place he calls home is for his kind. For rabbits trapped inside rabbit farms. The only world they will know, is the dark shed they were born into and the four walls of a slaughter house where they will die. For the sake of a meal.
