Key points
- There is currently no specific EU-wide legislation dedicated to the minimum welfare standards for farmed rabbits.
- Current intensive farming often uses barren cages that do not allow rabbits to perform natural behaviors.
- The report encourages a shift toward collective park systems to provide more space and social interaction.
- Reducing the heavy use of antibiotics is vital to prevent the rise of antimicrobial resistance.
