    :D

    I was literally laughing out loud reading that. The recipe section is absolutely hilarious. I love how he substitutes the word "rabbit" with "Toby" in the recipes!!

    Read the hate mail, too. Some of it is a riot.

    Some thoughts... If the SaveToby site was had not been fake...

    Would it be illegal to do something like that? I guess it wouldn't. I mean, people kill and eat rabbits all the time. That part isn't illegal. Nor is the part of accepting donations.

    I have to laugh at the hate mail - it's amazing how people get so outraged over this. I guess they don't realize that there are millions of animals killed every day for our consumption. I eat 'em. Yummy.

    I guess this makes people angry because it's like making a hostage of a cute little bunny. If he'd have done this with a chicken, I don't think he would have gotten so much attention.

    I think it's a brilliant scam - the guy is probably making money off the novelty items such as coffee mugs and T-shirts.

    I've eaten rabbit before. Does this make people angry? The idea of me eating a bull or cow doesn't anger people, but the idea of me eating a cute little bunny does?

    I was going to say,

    "Eat your rabbit. Who cares."

    No that it's a hoax, I'm thinking about eating some rabbit myself.

    I think it's wrong for him asking money to save the bunny's life, I mean if you want to eat it eat it but don't hold it for ransom. As for it being illegal, maybe. If the rabbit is domesticated then he probably could be charged with animal cruelty in some places.

    I wasn't kidding when I said I have a bag full of him either. I hunt rabbit every weekend between November and February and always store some for eating later on. I think rabbit is delicious.

    That's one of the most screwed up things I've ever seen. If it was real, it'd definitely be one of the craziest things ever. Pay me or I'll eat my bunny, wow.... Never in my wildest dreams could I conjure up something so illogical.

    That hate mail is pretty amusing...

    There's a canadian robbery case where a guy walked into a donut shop with a goose and threatened to choke the goose unless they gave him money. A woman bystander rushed to the ATM and gave him an undisclosed amount of money. And yes he got busted.

    Reminds me of the old National Lampoon cover picture, with someone holding a revolver to a dog's head, and the headline reads Buy this Magazine, or We'll Kill This Dog!.

    Made me think of this...

    Father: My name is Father Carlos Las Vegas De Cordova.

    Navin: Father, you seem like a religious man. How can I help you?

    Father: By giving me three minutes of your time so that you can see some film of a great ugliness that is spreading throughout my country.

    Navin: Oh God, I bet it's disgusting. Hobart?

    Hobart: Yes sir?

    Navin: Are you over your grief enough yet to dim the lights?

    Hobart: Oh, ha ha, of course sir. One cannot mourn forever.

    Father: You will not believe what you are about to see; that human beings could have sunk so low that they can take pleasure to do this to another of Gods creatures. I hope you have a strong stomach senor.

    Navin: Roll the ugliness.

    (A scene in a Mexican bar - cat juggling!!)

    Navin: Good Lord - I've heard about this - cat juggling! Stop! Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Good. Father, could there be a god that would let this happen? How much do you want?

    I'm sure my fiancee wants the Save Toby thongs. What a present that would be.
