British citizens rescued forty-seven giant rabbits from the executioner's iron cage.
Forty-seven giant rabbits have been saved from the chop after they were found crammed into tiny cages at an illegal breeding farm.
Rabbits weigh up to 8 kilograms (equivalent to medium-sized dogs) and have ears up to 18 centimeters long
An enthusiastic citizen saw a group of meat rabbits in a dirty illegal farming environment, located in Northumberland, so he called the police and saved a group of "rabbit bugs".
A member of the public raised the alarm after seeing them covered in dirt and struggling to hop around tiny filthy hutches on an allotment in Northumberland.

The rabbit type is the Flemish giant rabbit (regularly bred for fur and meat) and can weigh up to 8 kg – the same as a medium-sized dog – with ears 7 inches (about 18 cm).
One of the Flemish Giant Rabbits weighed 8kg – the same as a medium sized dog – and had ears measuring 7 inches long.
Fortunately, the veterinarians thought the rabbits were in good condition after examination, but one of them had an eye and neck injury and was being treated. Hopefully, well-meaning people will adopt them. (How many cabbages do you have to eat for this meal?) Will people who climb into bed at night and press them breathless? ）
Luckily a vet found they are all in good condition, one is on medication for weepy eyes and a wound on the back of his neck, but we hope they will find loving homes.
It is said that this type of rabbit has a very docile personality and is very suitable for use as a pet. (The butcher who said he was going to put it on the table is a bit excessive...) ）
They will make good companion animals as they have a nice temperament.

The rescued rabbits have been properly housed by the British Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and are finding a new home for them.
The rescued rabbits have now been safely distributed to RSPCA centres around the UK while
staff try and rehome them.
According to the UK's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), the national rabbit abandonment rate has risen by 49%.
The RSPCA says they have seen a 49% increase in the number of rabbits being abandoned in the UK.
