few people said they had told the management and been told they wasnt going to move it , so i went up to main office and told them, i think by this point they was fed up with people complaining and said they was going to movin "IT" told me that it was born this morning and it keep getting out nest (it looked more like week old to me) i said there wasnt any fur or a nest from what i can see, he replied no we just sticking it in hay, we dont know who mum is, so i said why are other females in with ones with babies they could attack them? he replied the males are worse than female!!
yes they have at least one male in with females having babies! and few of rabbits had cut lips from fighting, i was not happy and think they should be reported, he seemed to think it was fine for them all to be thrown in together

:evil: I'd be putting in a complaint to the council and RSPCA about that place. appalling!
 
If you are reporting this place to the RSPCA, then remove the name of the place from this thread.Its a public forum and anyone can see it.Just report it quick.How awful.:shock:
 
i was gonna jump over but i couldnt find a nest to even ut the baby in, it had sign saying smile you on camera, so thought better just go office, a lot of children was getting upset saying whats going to hapen to baby, even my 4 year old son said "why are rabbits with pigs" if a child can see its wrong why can adults?
 
How dreadful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Yvette said... I would remove the name of the place..
Ring Animal Welfare in Leeds... they actually act pretty quickly

The whole thing is awful! Well done for being so restrained and not moving baby.

But I just wanted to say...my word your little one is well-trained! Good on him for listening to you!:love:

I have visited this farm on numerous occasions (not recently) and I never realised they had rabbits... I am appalled! Especially since it is so local to me.

I think I will visit in the summer term and see if they have changed anything - if not I'm definitely going to say something... idiots.
