Hare-larious clippings

This gory pic is the result of one of the more unorthodox dates I've had in recent months, involving the butchering, cooking and eating of hare. I now feel entirely justified in this questionable choice of food, having read two articles in the Bangkok Times on the same day last week:

'A possibly rabid hare attacked a 74 year old woman and her 78 year old husband today. The crazed animal launched itself at the woman while she was hanging her laundry in the garden. The victim fled to the house while her husband tried to scare off the attacking hare. Police officers saw the man "battling the hare" when they arrived at the scene. The animal was shot dead when it tried to attack one of the policemen.'

'A major highway was closed yesterday after a truck carrying rabbits crashed, letting 5000 of the animals loose on the road. A police spokeswoman said "there were thousands of them on the road but they're not using their newfound freedom well: they're just sitting around, eating grass and enjoying the sun".' Sounds alright to me.

Reminds me of the killer bunny sketch in Monty Python that made me laugh for years on end...
