Excellent news for everyone this morning – the proposed rabbit slaughterhouse in Atlow, Derbyshire has been refused by the council!
This decision will save 10,000 rabbits a year from misery in cages and a brutal death at just a few months old.
This is the farm which was subject to an undercover investigation by Animal Aid – http://www.animalaid.org.uk/stoprabbitfarms
The “farm” has remained empty since the demonstration in May – hopefully the vile place will now be dismantled and closed for good.
We shall of course be keeping an eye on the planning portal in case the decision is contested – and will be sure to keep you updated if this is the case.
For now, this is a great victory for the rabbits!
