We seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits
and improve rabbits' lives through education.
Philosophy
The House Rabbit Society of Singapore (HRSS) is
an all-volunteer, non-profit organisation dedicated
to rabbit welfare and awareness in Singapore.
HRSS believes that ALL rabbits are valuable as
individuals, regardless of breed purity, temperament,
state of health, or relationship with humans. The
welfare of all rabbits is our primary consideration.
It is in the best interest of domestic rabbits
to be neutered/spayed, to live in human housing
where supervision and protection are provided, and
to be treated for illnesses by qualified veterinarians.
Domestic rabbits are companion animals and should
be offered at least the same individual rights,
level of care, and opportunity for longevity as
commonly offered to dogs and cats who live as human
companions.
Rabbits are intelligent, social animals that require
mental stimulation, toys, exercise, environmental
activity, and social interaction.
Domestic rabbits are not the product of natural
selection, but rather of human interference by means
of breeding programs. Domestic rabbits are human-dependent
animals that need protection and it is therefore
a human responsibility that these animals be cared
for in a manner which meets their needs.
HRSS does not support or align itself with any
group or individual promoting rabbits as food or
lab animals.
HRSS does not support commercial or exploitative
interests. Nor do we endorse products. Donations
from sponsors may be gratefully accepted, but no
obligation is implied. Objective recommendations
of products are occasionally made for health reasons
but never in exchange for payment or publicity.
HRSS respects the privacy of its members. Our mailing
list is not shared by other organizations or commercial
interests.
