| Monster Rabbit Stalks U.K. Village (But No Sign of Wallace or Gromit) | |
| 2006-05-23 | |
A little old, but posted here mostly for the shock value of the pic right there (larger one at link). I hope it's perspective.
A hungry outsized rabbit which visited allotments in Felton, Northumberland, angering residents with its predations, is thought to have been killed in an accident that left the bumper hanging off a car. The animal, which reportedly yanked whole turnips out of the ground, has not been seen since Rael Rawlinson, 18, driving in the village at the weekend, crashed into a "rabbit-like animal" roughly 2ft long and found hair on her bumper. | |

| #12 I served rabbit for dinner last Easter. Best braised bunny I've ever made. You guessed it, carrots on the side. |

| #11 "It is a brute of a thing, absolutely massive," Smith added." Well, only the Brits could call a rabbit "a brute of a thing," methinks. Anyway, that's what you get for messing around with Nature--originally the larger rabbits were bred specially for meat. Now they seek their revenge for their genetic mutation by devouring vegetable gardens and terrorizing English villagers . . . |

| #7 "In other news, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter declined an invitation to be honorary grand marshall of the annual 'Carrot Days' parade in Felton, Northumberland. Town officials said the ex-president gave no explanation for turning down the honour. . . . " |

| #5 I had a rabbit once. He lived in the house and was very well behaved. I named him Stu. |

| #3 If you click to enlarge the pic, you get a caption saying it's a German rabbit breeder. There are other rabbits in the hutches behind him. I don't know why this picture was used to illustrate the story. Now, if you want giant rabbits, go to Giant Rabbit Rescue. Fourth pic down shows you how big these babies are. And here's one bad-temperrred rrrrodent with grrreat big nasty teeth. Run away! |
