Crazed Hare.

By Miss Cellania in Animals & Pets on Apr 18, 2007 at 10:00 am

It happened in Night of the Lepus. It happened in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It happened to Jimmy Carter. And now its happened again.

Traditionally, rabbits and hares are better known as lovers, not fighters. On Monday, however, a hare in Linz, Austria broke the mold, attacking an elderly woman and her husband, not to mention the police officers who were called to the scene.

The rabbit would not back down, and had to be shot. The injured woman was treated at a local hospital and later released. Link -via Arbroath

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

I was attacked by a hare once. But it was only a flesh wound. :O)

“Had to be shot” my ass. Just walk away.

I love the last line of the article: The officers declined to comment because they were too distressed about having to shoot the hare!

Jeez, what happens when they have to kill a person?

The wild hares in South Dakota are particularly vicious.

I don’t think Austrian people can get rowdy enough to be shot by the police.

You think the hares in SoDak are vicious, try cornering a jackalope.

My jackalope corners like it’s on rails, I’ve almost fallen off quite a few times.

Must have a very randy wabbit…I’m guessing it was very VERY lonely and was “attacking” anything that moved.

I am reminded of Andy Riley’s suicidal bunnies. Hell, even the hare in the picture looks like them.
