Confined to a cage, movement restricted to an unnatural wire mesh is guaranteed to lead to unsanitary conditions and health problems. Clearly, this rabbit and his litter mates were in a horrendous situation.

Unable to keep the urine from their body, it soaks into their fur, and onto the skin. The skin becomes inflamed and the fur falls out. Moisture-damaged skin is easily cracked and at this stage infections and abscesses often occur. It would be impossible for this rabbit to stand on such raw feet, without being in agony. This is cruelty.
