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.

The owner of the farm, Bill Pitcher, allowed over 1,100 New Zealand White rabbits to be taken and rehomed by animal rights campaigners.
Abattoirs (also known as slaughterhouses) in the UK have tended to be somewhat secretive about their activities, mainly due to fear of animal rights campaigners. Also, the general public are generally squeamish about meat production.
The number of animals killed for food in UK abattoirs per year is approximately:
* 800,000,000 broiler chickens
* 35,000,000 turkeys
* 19,000,000 sheep
* 18,000,000 ducks
* 17,000,000 pigs
* 2,500,000 cattle
* 1,000,000 geese
* 10,000 deer
* 10,000 goats
In the late 1990s, many small and medium-sized abattoirs closed down, due to increased regulations and high inspection charges. This meant many animals had a longer journey to be slaughtered. The effect of this was to increase the risks of diseases such as foot and mouth from spreading around the country , and also to make the sight of lorries transporing animals to slaughter a common occurrence on British roads.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), there were 13,000 slaughterhouses in Great Britain in 1938. These had fallen to 1,000 by 1986 and to 416 by 1999.
95% of all pigs killed in the UK are killed at specialist slaughterhouses.
In the mid-1990s, the live export of animals for slaughter was a contentious political topic. Because many European countries demanded freshly-killed meat, animals were routinely shipped by ferry to the continent on long journeys. An incident at the port of Shoreham near Brighton, captured the public imagination, and large-scale protests against live exports ensued. It was during one of these protests at Coventry Airport that campaigner Jill Phipps was run over by a lorry and killed.
The BBC aired a documentary in 2005 called Slaughterhouse: The Task of Blood that showed graphic footage from the Harvey Ashworth abattoir in Royton, Oldham. It also featured interview with the workers, giving an insight into their job. In 1994, Keith Mann was sentenced to 14 years in prison for, amongst other things, causing damage to three lorries at this abattoir. In the early 1990s there was a long string of attacks on meat lorries at slaughterhouses and meat processing plants.
