1953 - 2016
63 years of torture for rabbits in the UK
In September 1953 the first cases of Myxomatosis
were seen in the UK. It’s time the torture stopped.Myxomatosis is a man-made disease to control the rabbit population. The way it does this is not acceptable in terms of the amount of torture and distress it forces on these animals before they die.There seems to be an acceptance of its existence and of its impact on wild rabbits especially. Due to the large majority of rabbits catching it and being out of sight, we’ve come to ignore it and accept it.Any disease which blinds its victim in the first few days, blocks its nose so it can’t breathe, forces it to breathe through its mouth so it can’t eat and then lasts upto and over 14 days so the infection can spread even further is not acceptable.It is only by becoming a large group of people we can then apply pressure to the necessary authorities to do something about the disease.We have submitted a petition to the No.10 website to call for a debate in Parliament on how Myxomatosis can be prevented. We need 100,000 people to sign it within 6 months - Please please help us by signing now to help make moves to end the horrendous suffering see alsohttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/163437
