HKRS aims to flight for living rights, respects and concerns for rabbits and also to minimize the number of abandonment. We hold campaigns and activities to promote knowledge and responsibilities of raising rabbits, caring to animal, respects of lives so that we can build a harmonious community between humans and animals.
