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 Sjef Lavrijsen is the current chairman of the LTO rabbit farming association. He has 2,000 female rabbits. At his location at 't Holland 1, dead rabbits lie among the living ones. The living rabbits graze on the skins of the dead, as if the hair were grass. They also try to dig burrows in the skins of dead rabbits and nibble on the ears.
