Introduce bans to stop consumption of rabbit meat by humans and pets

Petition Details

We want the Government to ban the killing of rabbits for human and pet consumption, as well as the import export of rabbit meat. We believe there are poor safeguarding controls for rabbit welfare, and that slaughter methods are barbaric and unethical.

Additional Information

Rabbits are the third most popular pet in the UK with an estimated 1.5 million rabbits kept as household pets. As a nation of animal lovers, with some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world, we believe it is time Britain’s third most popular companion pet is given equal rights as dogs and cats: therefore we think it is time to introduce bans to stop the consumption of rabbit meat for both humans and pets.
