Regal Rabbits was a farm in Great Bookham, Surrey, UK that bred rabbits for use in animal experiments.
In 1999 and again on 21 May 2000, over seventy rabbits were removed from the farm by the Animal Liberation Front.
In June 2000 the Close Down Regal Rabbits campaign was launched by animal rights activists. It was one of the shortest animal rights campaigns ever launched, because the farm announced its closure just twelve days later. The owner of the farm, Bill Pitcher, allowed over 1,100 New Zealand White rabbits to be taken and rehomed by animal rights campaigners.
