Blown up Bunny

"The brown-and-white rabbit rescued from a cruel teenage owner is now living in a prime corner cage at the House Rabbit Society in Richmond, California."


Wow! Never knew there was such a place. Wonder if they have any more rooms. I'm looking for early retirement.

I blame Beavis and Butthead.

Cruelty to Animals?
Legal Question:

I think the teenage owner of firecracker bunny was falsely charged with the crime of cruelty to animals. After all, there could not have been any criminal intent to actually blow up the bunny if she tossed the firecracker donning bunny into the lake. Even if the fuse was lit, the lake water would most definitely douse the fuse and make an explosion impossible.

Maybe the teenage owner and bunny were merely practicing their act for the traveling Coyote and Roadrunner Show.

Don't you think the teenage owner should be found "not guilty" of cruelty to animals?

Richmond! That's my home town! We left when I was two, though, because my sister was getting chased home from school.

There we go again!


Patiodog:

Why would your parents move you and your sister from such a supportive Richmond enviroment? Why do people so readily assume a harmful motive where none exists? Obviously, the sister chasers recognized your sister's enormous gift for running and were helping her to prepare for the Olympics. Her potential after the ill-conceived move was probably wasted. . . .

It's very true. And we moved to a town where people cared so little that she -- and I, too -- was allowed to proceed along casually. Lazily, even. And where there was a public bench, there was neither vandalism nor vagrant to prevent our slothfully sitting down and resting for as long as we cared.

It was truly negligent.

I am thinking the bunny firecracker perpetrator may have been just stupid, not innocent..

Yeah, M-80s and cherry bombs have fuses that don't usually go out once they are lit, even under water.

Re: Cruelty to Animals?

I can only assume that you're being facetious, right?

Re: Cruelty to Animals?


I don't have a facetious bone in my body. The teenage owner has a valid defense--unlike this cruel old lady:

Re: Cruelty to Animals?

What might that be? That the rabbit was thrown into a body of water? How is that a defense?

Again, I suspect you're jesting. If so, you needn't respond.
