NEWS: Animal activists have been celebrating the closure of the last rabbit farm run by T&S Rabbits, a shady unofficial company owned by businessman Phil Kerry.

Animal activists working to thwart the unscrupulous and highly suspicious plans of a notorious UK rabbit farm operator have won a great victory this week. Claire Hamlett reports on the win and gives us a rundown of the saga so far.

Back in 2011, businessman Phil Kerry wanted to open six rabbit farms across England. Thousands of rabbits would have led miserable lives in battery cages before being killed for their flesh and fur. But the public would not stand for it and Kerry ended up revising his plans and has since established several ‘free-range’ farms instead.
