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 🙂

🎉🥳 ADOPTED 🥳🎉

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.
