Target: Kou Yung-Fa, Chief Prosecutor of the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office, Taiwan
Goal: Ensure full prosecution in the case of rabbits allegedly kept sick, starving, and dying while used as a restaurant attraction.
Disturbing reports have emerged about a restaurant that kept rabbits as part of a dining attraction where customers could interact with the animals while eating. According to officials, several rabbits were found sick and later died after authorities inspected the establishment. Investigators reportedly discovered rabbits suffering from diseases including mange while others allegedly showed severe physical injuries.
During an inspection earlier this year, officials reportedly found signs encouraging patrons to feed the rabbits with spoons which suggested that the animals were used as part of an entertainment feature inside the restaurant. Authorities later reportedly discovered that multiple rabbits had died following the initial inspection. Autopsies reportedly revealed disturbing conditions including widespread mange infections torn ears inflamed and bleeding paws and stomachs that appeared nearly empty.
Investigators believe the animals may have been kept in poor conditions and may have suffered from long term malnutrition and untreated illnesses. When animals are allegedly confined neglected and used as attractions while suffering from disease and starvation, strong legal accountability becomes essential. Sign below to demand authorities pursue full prosecution to ensure that vulnerable animals are protected and that alleged cruelty and neglect are addressed under the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Prosecutor Kou Yung-Fa,
We write to express grave concern regarding reports that rabbits kept at a restaurant attraction were left sick injured and malnourished. Authorities reportedly discovered multiple rabbits suffering from diseases including mange while others had torn ears inflamed and bleeding paws and stomachs that appeared nearly empty.
Officials also found signs encouraging patrons to feed the rabbits with spoons which indicated that the animals were used as part of an attraction for customers. Follow up inspections reportedly revealed that numerous rabbits had died after the initial investigation.
We respectfully urge your office to pursue prosecution to the fullest extent permitted by law should the evidence substantiate these allegations. Strong enforcement of animal protection laws is essential to ensure that animals are protected and that alleged neglect and cruelty toward vulnerable animals is addressed with appropriate legal consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
