One Voice for Animals Uk Campaigns

2021. 

A better life for Rabbits and Rodents campaign and the launch of Small Pet Rodent Awareness Week (SPRAW)

In the first half of 2021, One Voice for Animals UK (OVFAUK), in collaboration with Rabbit Welfare & Rescue organisations from across the UK, led a campaign seeking to improve the lives of Rabbits & Rodents.  These treasured companions often live lonely lives in cramped conditions because our pet shops & retailers don't always sell suitable accommodation or provide the correct advice. 

In Summer 2021 we were recognised for our campaigning work and invited to join the the All Party Group for Animal Welfare (APGAW).

Just after we became members, APGAW invited us to the launch of the Rabbit Welfare Code of Practice - a welcome step forward in rabbit care.
