It wasn't so long ago that a 65 year old being told "the rabbit died" would have been front page news for a very different reason.

Would have been even more shocking if a United official broke the news to her.

He died under hare-rowing circumstances.
Puns aside, it looks like he didn't die on the flight, he died at some kind of 'ground facility'. Is there some kind of animal quarantine?

Actually, I may have been in error when I created this new thread. After all, this was a Continental Giant Rabbit. Perhaps I should have posted under Remaining Vestiges of Continental After the Merger With United

The Yahoo story I posted above was a repost of of a People Magazine article. People Magazine is a major publication. Yet the article contained a whole paragraph that made no sense, referenced irrelevant information (Dr. DAO), and lacked any semblance of being written by a reporter and not by a third grader.

I think most Australians would be a bit bemused by this story. Here for most of us the only good rabbit is a dead one. Any pet rabbits have to be immunised against the calicivirus which the government releases to 'deal' with the wild population.
