I have a few questions that I'm curious about from those on the front lines!
1. Do you seek out rabbits in need, or more often than not do they get surrendered to you/turn up on your doorstep?
2. Does anyone run small-scale rescues from home, or is rescue work your full time occupation?
3. Do you think that a permanent sanctuary or rehome/adoption system is best?
4. I am curious if rabbit meat farming is still a 'thing' in the UK, and if any sanctuary volunteers ever try to rescue sick animals from livestock markets?
Interested in all of the above with the long-term aim of starting my own small sanctuary if I am ever in the situation financially to do so. For now I support several farm animal sanctuaries with monthly donations, but a small scale non-profit has always been on my radar.
I know that some people on RU work in animal rescue, so I would very much appreciate your thoughts on the above, or anything else about rescue life that you may wish to share
