Small and neat, there are little fir trees dotted around the lawn, tubs of flowers on the terrace and rows of firewood stacked neatly by the fence.

Rabbit owners in Witten and Dortmund are worried about their pets There used to be a rabbit hutch, too, at the end of the garden. But not any more.

"One morning, when I came out to feed my rabbits, I was surprised to see that the hutch door was open," recalls Elfriede.

"I looked inside and saw Rocco just lying there. His head was missing. A little later I found Felina in the bushes. She'd been killed, too. I just cannot understand why."

Rocco and Felina are among the 30 pet rabbits killed

THAT IS SICK and dangerous. someone that would do that is on the way, if not already, to becomming a serial killer. One of the reasons we now have so many laws on the books against animal cruelty is that we know there is a direct causal link from animal abuse to human abuse and ultimately, murder.

Given that Germans don’t seem to understand that predators typically eat other animals (see the Knut the polar bear kurfluffle) I wouldn’t be surpirsed if this was the case.

I would check for a large bird of prey moving into the neighborhood as well.

Raccoons and skunks are notorious for grabbing an animal’s head and chewing it off through the fence. We lost a few chickens that way.

possums are not to be trusted either, but I don’t think they have those in Germany

Natural predators of species besides the 2-legged variety do not drain the blood into boxes and bottles as this predator has done.

This reminds me of one of the hare dryer legend that I heard first on Jonny Carson.

The popular “Hare Dryer” story goes something like this: A man’s dog comes home with his neighbor’s rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is dead and muddy, but besides that, looks relatively unharmed. Rather than fess up that his dog killed the rabbit, the guy decides to wash and blow-dry the rabbit and sneak it back into his neighbor’s backyard cage.

The next day the man sees his neighbor at the cage acting very distraught. Playing it cool, the man asks, “What happened? Did the rabbit die?”

The neighbor replies, “Yes, three days ago. I buried him and now he’s back in the hutch!”
