Highgate Rabbit Farm breed rabbits and ferrets for animal experiments.
They were exposed in 2008 when anonymous people entered the farm to find rabbits living in bare metal cages suspended above thick excrement and urine.
The rabbits are crammed into cages in a windowless shed. Their first and only glimpse of daylight is the short time in which they are loaded from their cages into a van to be shipped into animal testing laboratories.
Highgate sell the animals to various universtities and labs including the notoriously cruel Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS).
HLS are the most controversial lab in the world, having been exposed seven times in the past 12 years. Undercover and ex-workers have all expressed their concern over gross animal cruelty, falsification of data, and sloppy work procedures.
HLS have been exposed punching puppies in the face, cutting open monkeys while they're still alive, shouting, slapping, and hitting animals, and breaking the law on numerous occasions. As recently as 2008, HLS were witnessed traumatising animals so much they vomited faeces and collapsed.
Following the 2008 raid, the owner of the farm wanted to close down but were encouraged to stay open by the 'unbiased' police force.
There are regular demonstrations at the farm, please contact us or your local animal rights group if you wish to hold a protest here. Details of any national demo's will be posted on the Animal Rights Calendar (http://www.veggies.org.uk/arc.php).
