After a long battle, A rabbit breeding in Lomazzoin the province of Como, has finally ceased the activities. A closure that arrives following the complaint filed in 2022 to be animals thanks to the courage of a town that has reported carcasses and bones in the fields close to the structure. The rest did the investigation, with images and documentation that leave little room for the imagination.
Inside those dilapidated walls, about 5,000 rabbits They lived in conditions that calling inhuman is little. Cage small, dirty, rustywith sharp protrusions e Metal network floors on which the animals were forced to move every day, injuring themselves.
No environmental enrichment, no possibility of movement, no respect for their nature. The ceiling was covered with cobwebs, the floor a carpet of excrement. In some cages, Up to six animals crammed togetherdeprived of any dignity.
And all this, incredibly, still legal in Italy. Yes, because more than 90% of the over 4,000 Italian rabbits farms Continue to use Systems in cagewhich reduce life to a passive wait between suffering and death.
Closing: not for pity, but for costs
The company should have put her hand to the entire structure: maintenance, revision of ventilation systems, sanitizationdisinfestation. But instead of adapting, he preferred to pull down the shutters. Too expensive offer a minimum of well -being to animals. Too uncomfortable, treat them as living beings, and not as objects.
If today this place of horror has closed, it is thanks to the intervention of a town that has not turned its gaze. It is the demonstration that The voice of those who report can really change things. There are still many, too many, of farms like this.
But each closure is a signal. Whenever indifference is replaced by the action, some animals suffer a little less. We celebrate this result, but remember that it is only a beginning because the real victory would be to bring them all and cease once and for all these horrors.
