Pauline McLynn hopping mad about caging of rabbits

Actress Pauline McLynn is hopping mad at the plight of millions of caged rabbits slaughtered for their meat across Europe.

The actor, who played housekeeper Mrs Doyle in the cult Irish comedy Fr Ted, joined a Compassion in World Farming campaign over the Easter weekend to ‘End the Cage Age’.

As part of the campaign, the Sligo-born comic appears in a new video for the charity, to highlight the plight of more than 330m rabbits farmed and killed for food every year.
