Just for fun.

man bitten, woman forced to evade jack rabbit

Published 8:10 p.m. PST Friday, March 29, 2002
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - Sonoma County musician Doug Bowes will remember this Easter season as the one where he happened upon the Easter Bunny, and it attacked him.
Bowes was walking near his home at about 11 a.m. Wednesday when the attack occurred. A small, gray jack rabbit bounded toward him from a nearby fence.

"I thought, 'Gosh, this is somebody's pet,' " Bowes said. He put his hand down in a friendly gesture and the bunny lunged and bit him.

Bowes began to walk home, nursing a sore hand with broken skin, but the rabbit followed him. A short time later, a nearby neighbor had to retreat up a hill after another aggressive jack rabbit forced her back.

Bowes had to get rabies shots and faces five additional vaccinations, though area health officials say it would be rare if the animal had rabies.

"If it were (rabid) it would make history," said David Yong, director of laboratory services for the county public health division. No rabbit has tested positive for rabies in Sonoma County in the past 16 years, Yang said.

Oh no MarineGrunt, they are anti-DD not to mention anti-gun. They need to call PETA to give the bunnies some counseling.

This is what happens when people give up their place on the food chain.  Now the rabbits will have to be "taught a lesson".  No more Mr. Nice Vegan.

Anyone ever see the movie "Night of the Lepus?"  Huge killer rabbits attack farms & mutilate humans.  Maybe one of the greatest achievements in film, & a very underappreciated movie.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.  Eventually they'll have to use bunker busters on the lairs.  It is getting dangerously close to EOTWAWKI.
