Urban Hoppers Farm, humane rabbit farm
Donation protected
Why I am taking a stand on the focus of humanely raising rabbits.
I was looking into the idea of an urban rabbit farm for a few months and was horrified on how the rabbits were kept in tiny cages with no room to live and were put to death in the most brutal ways. I decided I could build a working model for the future of rabbit farming where the rabbits not only had room to grow and live more comfortably, but go the step further and give them the human and rabbit interaction the need. The other end of this was the slaughtering aspect. I will be selling for both pet and for food because of the many positive aspects of rabbit meat. I also will be dispatching them in the most humane way possible. They will be calm and relaxed on the table, petting as they are often by me or my daughter, thanked, and dispatched quickly with a bb to the brain causing instant death. No pain, no stress, NO SUFFERING. Look on youtube and be prepared to see the usual horrible ways that they are killed.
How do I expect to use the money and how am I qualified.
I took over a family business that ran for 25 years. I ran it for 7 before I sold the assets of it so that my parents would be assured a retirement. Since then I have been working hard to use those skills I learned in running a company to start my own. I have built a working model of what I hope to achieve but it is going to take extra money to finish it. I currently have made several deals with business owners in my Saint Paul area to ensure my success and to ensure that every penny is going in the right place. I have a deal with another family owned business that is giving me pallets so that I can use them as reclaimed wood to build my hutches. I have a deal with a sign design and creating team that will give me a discount on my signage to advertise my farm.
I expect to use the money raised for more heated water bottles, feed trays, nesting boxes, heat lamps, ceramic heat bulbs, and hardware cloth. Also using the money to secure the LLC and legitimize the business. All brand new to prevent fire and keep the rabbits healthy through the Minnesota winter in my insulated garage. If I am able to raise enough money it will also go toward a new vacuum sealer, freezer, and generator to run the freezer at the farmers market.
I will be using this boost to be prepared for the St. Paul Farmers market where I will be able to spread the word about the humane raising of animals but the humane butchering of them as well. I will be the only humane rabbit farm in Minnesota and hope that it does not stay that way by spreading my message at the largest and busiest farmers market in MN.
