Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 April 3, 2005 EBAA Exposes the Rabbit Meat Industry Each year over eight million rabbits are raised and slaughtered for their meat by approximately 200,000 producers across the United States. Known primarily as a cottage industry, American rabbit meat production is largely unregulated by the federal, state and local authorities. The United States Department of Agriculture classifies rabbits as poultry. Designated as farm animals, meat rabbits are denied legal protection by the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act and Animal Welfare Act. In 2006, East Bay Animal Advocates (EBAA) documented conditions at Cloverdale Rabbit Company, California's second largest commercial rabbit meat slaughterhouse.
