I eventually got a reply from Cannon Hall Farm nr Barnsley in response to my concerns about the welfare of their rabbits:
Hi Pauline,
It is obvious from your letter that you really care about rabbits and we will take your comments into our next refurbishment programme.
We are inspected by Barnsley Council and the RSPCA, we are passionate about animal welfare and believe that our rabbits are healthy and happy, indeed a good indicator of contentment is the fact that they reproduce readily.
They get ad lib hay everyday and I will take on board your comments about a complete pellet. Fresh veg is available every day. We have never had an injury when mixing rabbits and guinea pigs but we do not usually run them together only when space is at a premium or sometimes the more athletic rabbits jump from pen to pen. None of our rabbits are petted against their will and all in all we think Cannon Hall Farm is a good place for a rabbit to live.
Many Thanks for your comments.
Kind Regards,
Robert Nicholson
Director
What a load of old tosh they must be content because they reproduce so readily, they're rabbits!! :roll: and the more athletic rabbits jump from pen to pen - athletic? the walls are only a couple of foot high, even my Jojejoe who is more Jim Royle than Usain Bolt could jump over them, and none of the rabbits are petted against their will - how do they know? they've nowhere to run and hide so they've no choice
I'm not very good at writing letters, it took me ages to do the original one - anyone got any ideas of how to respond? :wave:
