Farming Of Domestic Rabbits

EDM number 1102 in 2010-12, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 29/11/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Animal welfare.

That this House notes with concern the lack of information and statistics concerning the farming of domestic rabbits in the UK; believes that farmed rabbits should not be kept in cages as this practice is not consistent with good welfare; supports the work of the Four Paws organisation and others interested in this area; and calls on the Government to make key statistics and information on the UK rabbit farming industry publicly-available and to introduce regulations to phase-out the keeping of farmed rabbits in cages and to make detailed provisions for their welfare.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
