  • Please Check Your Rabbits

    As feared the warm, humid weather has produced flystrike cases. Please check your rabbits x 2 daily, as it can happen quickly. Fly eggs look like grains of rice laid in clusters, often round the tail area. If the eggs have hatched, the maggots will be burrowing into the skin and you will see open sores. It is agonising for your pet, and if left, will result in death. If you are unsure, call your vet asap for advice. If looking for something to help prevent flystrike here’s a link:

    A quote from RWAF: https://www.rabbitawareness.co.uk/…/flystrike-know-how…/

    “a topical treatment can be applied to the rabbit to help prevent fly strike. F10 wound spray with insecticide and Rearguard are examples of these topical treatments. F10 wound spray needs to be applied weekly to the rump and genital area. It is TOXIC to cats so don’t use on cats or in households where the cats and rabbits interact.

    The main ingredient in Rearguard is Cyromazine (an insect growth regulator). It is recommended by many Veterinary practices and is widely available in pet shops and online. It should be applied at the start of summer before any flies are seen and gives approximately 8-10 weeks of protection. This product does not repel flies or kill maggots but works by preventing any eggs laid on the rabbit from hatching into maggots. Rearguard can also be applied on rabbits that have been successfully treated for fly strike to help prevent re-occurrence.”

  • Shocking Treatment Of Beautiful Animals

    I literally HATE posting this picture, but if collectively we don’t see what goes on…it continues to go on.

    “We brutally shoved an electrode into the anus and put another in the mouth of this sensitive little animal.

    He’s scared, he’s already hurt…”

    He cries, not knowing what will happen next.

    In seconds, electricity will pass through his small body and he will slowly burn inside until death follows…

    Why is this method, cruel, barbaric?

    To make sure his fur isn’t damaged.

    – Because if we shoot him, we’ll damage the fur

    – If we stab him, there will be blood on the fur.

    We need to share this information, so that people walking around in Canada Goose and other fur, feathers and skin might come to understand how unfathomably cruel this is…and that they are complicit.

    It is unlikely that the buyer of a fur coat is aware of how many animals were required to make that single garment. 100 chinchillas or as many as 60 minks are required to make one full-length fur coat; depending on the type of fox, 10 to 24 may be required.

    Eighty-five percent of the fur industry’s skins come from animals who were held captive on fur factory farms, where they were crammed into severely crowded, filthy wire cages. Many were later beaten or electrocuted—and sometimes even skinned alive.

    After an animal has been slaughtered, his or her skin is treated with toxic chemicals to keep it from rotting and decomposing in the buyer’s closet. According to The World Bank, the hazardous process of fur dressing is so problematic that the fur industry is now ranked as one of the world’s five worst industries for toxic-metal pollution.
