Man Allegedly Punches Girlfriend's Pet Rabbit After Argument About Women's Rights

A Florida man was arrested after allegedly attacking his girlfriend's pet rabbit following an argument about women's rights. According to a Boyton Beach Police report, James Wertz became enraged when his girlfriend told him that she wanted to end their relationship after he refused to stop arguing and screaming.

The 28-year-old suspect then allegedly began "punching and squeezing" the woman's pet rabbit, according to Boynton Beach Police media representative Stephanie Slater.

The woman intervened and Wertz apologized, but when she tried to call 911, Wertz physically threw the woman across the room, according to the Palm Beach Post.

The rabbit was beaten so hard that it bled from its face, but it is expected to recover. The woman's arm was a little marked up but she was otherwise uninjured.

Wertz was charged with animal cruelty and domestic battery.

Was he on the chessboard and did he get up and tell her where to go?

It upset the rabbit.

He couldn’t have hit it very hard if it lived.

Maybe he wasn’t born in Maryland.

Many women are not interested in "nice guys". They find "nice guys" boring and weak. "Bad boys" are more exciting to them.

The job of fathers in earlier days was to ensure that exciting bad boys didn't get within 300 yards of their daughters.

It would make for an uncomfortable ending if the rabbit died.

Rabbits are surprisingly resilient and they pack one helluva kick. Don’t ask how I learned that :-(
