lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I have also received thousands of emails from constituents who have joined Compassion in World Farming in calling for legal protection for farmed rabbits across the EU. A recent report by researchers from Bristol University found that current legislation does not adequately address the welfare needs of rabbits. Unlike other farm animals, there are no minimum standards specific to them, yet rabbits are the second most farmed animal in the EU. Every year over 340 million rabbits are farmed, many of them confined in cramped and foul conditions to be slaughtered for meat. These inhumane conditions also facilitate the spread of disease, leading farmers to use alarming amounts of antibiotics. As we know, antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious public health risks facing our world today. We must move towards lower-intensity and more compassionate farming methods to safeguard the well—being of rabbits and other farmed animals and to improve the health of our population."@en1
