"In the night of Saturday 20th-Sunday 21st of February the Dieren Bevrijdings Front (DBF) liberated 20 young rabbits from a company earning money off the backs of defenseless animals. The rabbits have been re-homed with people who will treat them with love and they will live happy lives in freedom just like it should be.
The rabbits were in large numbers in a dark shed without any daylight coming in. The rabbits were kept in small wire cages, with eight rabbits in each. They had no space to stand up or to lay down in a normal way (if that would even be possible on a wire cage floor).
There was an overwhelming smell of urine and some of the rabbits had eaten each others fur due to stress and boredom. We also found a few dead rabbits (see photo) between the other rabbits.
The rabbits who will survive this hell will eventually die a cruel death in a slaughterhouse after 10 weeks.
The DBF will never accept this hidden animal cruelty and will keep on fighting for every animal that suffers for the cruel needs of humans.
A few facts about the suffering of rabbits raised for meat:
-Each year two million rabbits are killed for their meat which is mainly exported to France.
-The Netherlands has about 324,000 "meat" rabbits and 40,000 female rabbits used for breeding!
-The meat rabbits are slaughtered after 10 weeks; the female rabbits are killed after breeding for one year.
-The female rabbits give birth seven times a year, and 1 of 5 rabbits die early.

Note: We won't give the location where we went so we will be able to return and continue liberating animals."ORIGINAL SOURCE: BITE BACK Magazine
