I was just looking around on Facebook and a rabbit classified site came up. It was USA based, but oh my goodness. I am. Not all that easily shocked, but it was so distressed I couldn't look at it much. It seems predominantly breeders advertising and not only are people talking about 'bringing meat rabbits' to a sale, but the photos show tiny, wire/mesh floored cages, rabbits photographed sort of bowing down, it looks almost like their front legs have collapsed (is this a 'thing'? They looked posed like it with with their ears stretched out) and bunnies photographed with their eyes/faces covered, presumably to keep them calm. :cry:

I think I'm just shocked at how harsh and cruel it all seemed.
 
That's awful :( did it mention what state they were based in? Just wondering if the SPCA would investigate if someone emailed them.
 
Sadly that sounds like typical meat rabbit and US ARBA/4H showing handling practices. The SPCA probably wouldn't do anything :(
