MYTH: “Hutches and cages are abuse.”
✅ FACT: Welfare is about design and management, not whether a cage exists.
This infographic breaks down something the research has shown over and over again:
properly sized, clean, well-managed enclosures reduce stress, injury, and disease.
Poorly managed free-roam or park systems do the opposite.
Rabbits are not dogs. They’re not toddlers. They’re prey animals with very specific biological needs — dryness, predictability, personal space, and correct flooring.
Bottom line:
Cages don’t cause suffering.
Bad husbandry does.
