Rabbits Rescued From Rib Restaurant

PETA recently received a call about more than 20 rabbits who were crowded into a junk-filled outdoor enclosure at the back entrance of a barbecue joint in Oregon. The restaurant’s excuse for the cruel captivity? For the kids to play with, they said. But there was nothing kid- or rabbit-friendly about the squalid setup or the rabbits’ garbage-scrap diet.

 

What would your kids learn from this?
Rabbits

 

A concerned passerby reported the rabbits’ precarious condition to PETA, and we acted quickly. After several visits from local officials, the restaurant agreed to surrender all the rabbits to a reputable local humane society that will find them loving indoor homes.

Animal abuse isn’t always hidden, so keep your eyes peeled for animals in need and always speak up when you see cruelty.
