Brief:
Create posters to promote #RabbitAwarenessWeek 2020
Rabbit Awareness Week is the UK’s largest rabbit welfare campaign and was created 14 years ago to improve the lives of pet rabbits in the UK.
This year’s campaign is taking place as a two-week virtual festival, featuring live Q&As, educational videos and virtual bunny tours from the UK’s leading animal welfare organisations, posted on the Rabbit Awareness Week Facebook page.
Rabbits are one of the UK’s most neglected pets, with many owners failing to understand the welfare needs of these amazing animals.
The latest PDSA Animal Wellbeing (PAW) Report found:
49% of rabbits live alone
26% of owners didn’t provide hay as one of their main foods
25% of rabbits are kept in inadequate living conditions
21% of rabbits are still fed on muesli
The Rabbit Awareness Week website has loads of amazing resources to help educate rabbit owners on the importance of a hay-led diet, why a hutch is never enough, and why rabbits should always be kept in suitably bonded pairs and not on their own.
Rabbit Awareness Week is all about positivity around the five welfare needs, so owners can make the necessary changes to improve the lives of their rabbits, whether that’s ditching dangerous muesli and sugary carrots for high-quality hay, or making some extra spare in the garden or a spare room in the house so they can get the exercise that they need.
