American Rabbit Ethics in Breeding & Governance

· · ·

A resource dedicated to the belief that rabbit breeding organizations should be held to the same ethical standards they expect of their members.

Why This Site Exists

The American rabbit community deserves organizations that operate with transparency, financial accountability, and good governance. When clubs ask members to volunteer their time, skills, and creative work, those contributions should be honored — not exploited.

When organizations send cease-and-desist notices for work they didn't create, when financial records go unaudited, when asking ethical questions gets you pushed out rather than answered — something has gone wrong.

This site exists because someone decided to ask questions, and the answers were more interesting than anyone expected.

Principles We Believe In

1

Financial transparency. Members have a right to know how their dues and show fees are spent. Organizations that resist audits have something to hide.

2

Intellectual property rights. If a volunteer creates original work — a logo, a website, written content — the copyright belongs to the creator unless a written agreement says otherwise. This isn't opinion. It's federal law.

3

Good-faith governance. Board members serve the membership, not themselves. Retaliating against members who ask inconvenient questions is a sign of institutional failure.

4

Ethical breeding practices. The welfare of the animals always comes first. No politics, no ego, no exceptions.

5

Accountability. Organizations that handle money, maintain registries, or represent a breed to the public should welcome scrutiny — not punish it.

The measure of an organization is not how it treats its loyalists,
but how it responds to its questioners.
