The life of a rabbit
Just before Christmas, Ongehoord published its investigation into Dutch rabbit breeders. Many rabbits had leg problems, brain abnormalities, and gnawed ears. The Beter Leven farmer later lost his certification.

What Ongehoord filmed here
Owner Frans Köhlen received a Beter Leven Mark star from the Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals (Dierenbescherming). He received the star for the way he keeps the mother rabbits. The young ones are crammed into standard cages, some with plastic mats, many without. There are dead, chewed-up rabbits among the live ones, rabbits have ear problems, and one is missing an entire ear.
