Dear supporters,

Cottontails often uses art to raise awareness of rabbit welfare issues, so we contacted some of our favourite rabbit illustrators and they have enthusiastically offered to support our campaign, sometimes with original artwork. The illustration in this update is by Mandy Sutcliffe of Belle & Boo and wonderfully illustrates rabbits' need to exercise and have fun! We are very grateful to all the artists who are so generously supporting our campaign, more names will be revealed at a later stage. Our director has set up a website to license her own designs to raise funds for rabbits (lulu.org.uk). Thank you also to Jon, who has advised about branding and promoting our campaign based on his own extensive experience.

We are working hard to prepare for the big relaunch of our campaign on the Government's own website in Spring 2019. In the meantime we are delighted with the continued support we are receiving from animal welfare organisations big and small, selected companies and MPs. Please continue to promote this petition, we have just been told it was mentioned in a Scottish Parliament debate a few days ago! We are joining forces with other organisations and individuals who want to improve rabbits' lives, we need to work TOGETHER in order to succeed. We are approaching 5000 signatures so thank you so much, especially to the very kind supporters who are chipping in to promote the petition.

Thank you for helping the bunnies, you are great!!!

Best wishes from everyone at COTTONTAILS.
