#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!

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

#10 "I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them--"

#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 . . .

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