Seven feet tall he was

“His eyes were like steel; cold, hard. Had a shock of hair… red like the fires of Hell.”
Perhaps it was a very slow news day that prompted extensive coverage on an unusually large rabbit that is terrorising the countryside in Northumberland, England. Allegedly, sharpshooters have been hired to combat the threat to lettuces in the area.
In a cruel blow to the memory of General Woundwort, Yahoo’s imaginative writers opted to christen the monster “Bigs Bunny“. The picture they included (shown here) is completely unrelated to this case, and comes from a German breeder, but it is cool nonetheless.
At least they out-do the BBC’s shocking revelations:
“It’s been taking huge bites out of cabbages, carrots and turnips… it’s a hungry fella”
In a bizarre twist, one of the sharpshooters may or may not have been found lying in a pool of his own blood, his severed throat lacerated with vicious clawmarks that could only be described as “leporine”. Forensics suggest that the severe bruising to the head and body may have been inflicted by a blunt object, possibly some form of vegetable.
