@Lagolop Two years ago I saw a rabbit suffering badly with heatstroke and asked 4 duty stewards to help him. Each agreed he was suffering and needed vet help urgently but each then walked away refusing to help saying he was not their problem. I'd been photographing the buns on show and the camera was still running when three of the stewards refused to help and I had possibly had sufficient footage for a retrospective prosecution. It was a horrible situation - but won't be repeated.
@rossrabbits The entire issue of animal abuse is disgusting. Especially livestock species. There are some pathetic laws but they are Medieval and rarely prosecuted when broken (which is most of the time). Exposure helps so you did he right thing by taking video. Sad to say but my own country, that should be in the forefront of animal advocacy, it lagging way behind Europe. Did you hear of the recent case in the USA of horrific systematic torture on a dairy farm? Conklin Dairy, Ohio. Look it up.

Well done for ensuring that the rabbit corner is represented - I didn't see any of it on the TV coverage

Can you elaborate on what the issue was that made the "exhibitors" aggressive.
