RABBIT STOLED
Bunny burglary in Spokane:
Children at a downtown preschool got an unplanned lesson in animal rights activism when their pet rabbit was stolen and anti-circus fliers were left in the animal’s cage.
Sugar Bunny vanished from the Community Building Children’s Center during a celebration of building renovations Saturday evening, teachers said.
“Somebody stoled him,” 5-year-old Zion told The Spokesman-Review, which gave only the first names of him and other children in a report on the heist. “I’m sad.”
PETA goons are suspected. Check the teachers’ reaction:
Teachers gathered the children in a circle Monday to remember Sugar Bunny, some by drawing pictures and others by writing songs.
“We talked about how some people have different ideas about animals,” [teacher Lori Peters said]. “Some people don’t think they should be in cages.”
A better lesson for those kids: some people are thieves.
UPDATE: Site of Sugar Bunny’s theft corrected.
“We talked about how some people have different ideas about animals,” [teacher Lori Peters said]. “Some people don’t think they should be in cages.”
Well, how about this: a one-for-one prisoner exchange? For every PETARD who turns himself into the pound, a dog or cat is released.
Where Michael Vick went wrong was in sponsoring dog fights; if he had set up mud-wrestling bouts between naked PETA celebrity babes, he could have had hs own cable TV show.
Thieving bastards is more like it.
And, paco? The only PETA babes I know about are models hired by PETA. (Female celebrities trying to refuel a stalled career don’t count, by definition they ain’t babes.) Change that format to death matches between PETA executives, and you could sell it on pay-per-view for a bundle.

Idiots.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 09 27 at 12:30 PM • permalinkThey probably released the rabbit into the wild. Since I rather doubt it had ever spent a moment in the wild it’s probably dead by now.
When I am Empress of the Universe, I will gather up all the PETA-philes and their like and release them naked in the middle of nowhere with not so much as a box of matches. If they make it back to civilization I’ll commute their sentence.

Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2007 09 27 at 12:31 PM • permalinkWhat’s up, doc? My patience with scum like this. You just don’t kidnap rabbits belonging to a friggin’ KINDERGARTEN class. There is very little that is worse than grown adults stealing from kindergarteners.
I don’t care if the elephant poops in front of me again like when I was 3, I’m going to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus next time it’s in town, and not that sissy animal “loving” Quebeçois (not even really French) Cirque de Soleil.
Whoops—great minds think alike, Jeff_S!
Indeed they do! :-P
BTW, I have to wonder if this was an inside job. While the theft took place during an open house (of sorts, or so I gather) where a lot of people milled about, it was likely not on impulse. Unless PETARDs walk around Spokane on weekends with anti-circus fliers in their pockets, looking for animals to “rescue”, that is. While that’s possible, either a parent or a school employee more likely was involved.
Idiots.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 09 27 at 12:49 PM • permalinkOh it was definitely planned.
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2007 09 27 at 12:52 PM • permalinkI seem to recall that a number of years ago some PETA people released a bunch of minks that they stole from a farm into the wilds of the American mid-west. They ravaged the local animal populations, killing off entire populations of birds and small animals. The region has yet to recover. That they didn’t think through the inevitable results of their actions is typical.
Posted by MikeTheLibrarian on 2007 09 27 at 12:54 PM • permalinkI’d give a month’s paycheck if you lit them on fire beforehand.
So would I.

I have a couple of Beagles that would do this to Sugar Bunny. Of course PETA could substitute themselves for Sugar Bunny and whilst the Beagles chase them about I’ll let my boys get a little target practice…it’s easier to learn on a PETARD than a bunny anyway…....
Posted by Old Tanker on 2007 09 27 at 02:11 PM • permalink#15, Mike: right notion, wrong country: it was Britain, and the PETards broke into a fur farm, releasing several hundred mink (high-end predators, even if they’ve been caged all their lives) into a nearby wood, with predictably disastrous results for all of the birds and smaller wildlife in it. Not to mention for the mink themselves, once the easy kills went away—then they starved, died under car wheels ... with the PETards radiating Smug, as usual.
#19. Texas Bob:
Yep. That’s exactly what I thought. What she is actually teaching those children is: the end justifies the means.
The concept of property rights has been so decimated by the viros that people don’t even consider them anymore. Somebody stole your car? Well, there are people who believe no one should drive cars. You want to plow your field? Can’t. Some people believe that the puddle that forms in the middle of it every two years makes it a wetland. And on and on and on.
What will she tell them when someone releases a human killing agent that wipes out populations? Some people believe that humans are a blight upon Gaia and must be eliminated. There was a time when that was such a hyperbolic statement that I’d have laughed at it. Not now. I’ve read too many “educated” people who actually believe it. And if you think about it, trying to outlaw fossil fuels, stopping farm production, etc., is just as deadly to human life (if slower) that releasing a deadly plague upon mankind.
There was nothing innocuous about that teacher’s “lesson.”
Perhaps the rabbit was named Jessica?
Cheers

Which makes me wonder if it wasn’t some nitwits associated with the university.

Posted by Bruce Rheinstein on 2007 09 27 at 03:12 PM • permalink#29 Though, you have to admit, they ain’t as good eatin’.
No, and on top of that they’re so easy to hit (PETArds) you usually hit them with the whole pattern and they hold the shot, you’re picking it out for days….....
Posted by Old Tanker on 2007 09 27 at 03:16 PM • permalink#28 Thanks. If you notice in the picture there are bandages on the front legs…just got the dew claws removed and once the stitches come out we’ll find out what kind of rabbit dogs we have!
Posted by Old Tanker on 2007 09 27 at 03:25 PM • permalinkO/T, but this is a good series of articles on a dangerously self-important fat cat.
Just in case the police need any help, I would suggest they ask the pale skinny kid with lice-infected dreads what his mummy has been up to.
Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 09 27 at 04:17 PM • permalinkBuy a large snake. Watch PETA try again. Laugh.
Posted by MikeTheLibrarian on 2007 09 27 at 04:40 PM • permalink#42 Salty: There are few things that I find more reprehensible than the ego of a certain kind of rich man who believes that, because he is shrewd enough to make a lot of money, he is necessarily shrewd enough to remake the world. Speculating in currencies is one thing; speculating in the liberty, economic well-being and, perhaps, even the lives of hundreds of millions of people is something else altogether. You’re right: he is a profoundly evil character.
What’s up, doc? My patience with scum like this. You just don’t kidnap rabbits belonging to a friggin’ KINDERGARTEN class. There is very little that is worse than grown adults stealing from kindergarteners.
But Attmay, it’s a kindergarten class for humans—that’s not their department.
Posted by tim maguire on 2007 09 27 at 04:59 PM • permalinkFrankly, I suspect one of the teachers.
My money is on Lori Peters at least knowing who took the rabbit. She seems less than heartbroken that Sugar Bunny is gone.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 09 27 at 05:50 PM • permalinkTeachers gathered the children in a circle Monday to remember Sugar Bunny, some by drawing pictures and others by writing songs.
“Kids, when someone steals something near and dear to you, express your sadness by singing and drawing pictures. It’ll entertain the thieves when they come back to rip you off again once they’ve realized you’re an easy mark.”
“We talked about how some people have different ideas about animals,” [teacher Lori Peters said]. “Some people don’t think they should be in cages.”
Including you, Miss Lori? Methinks you may know more about this than you’re letting on - that reaction is pretty much what I’d expect from some bleeding-heart dipwad who secretly admires the “strength” and “conviction” of the PETArds.
Posted by Blue State Sil on 2007 09 27 at 05:50 PM • permalink#44 Missread, I used to have that book, too. A most educational read, and I’ve retained a remarkable amount of it.
Comes in handy at times for things to think of when people piss me off.

Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 09 27 at 05:52 PM • permalinkOF course, while I learned lots of interesting ways to make people talk, I didn’t learn how to preview or spell.

Even more than you realize - I was just about to post the same thing!
Somehow I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Miss Lori also goes by MoonFlowerSun (the name revealed to her by the Goddess Gaia while she was in a pot-induced haze) and lives in a power-free, meat-free, animal-products-free, cleaning-products-free lean-to, where she eats a macrobiotic diet of raw foods (vegan, of course), worships a small icon of Algore, and plots to steal more classroom pets.

How observant!!! The bandages lasted 10 minutes with the spray as opposed to 5 minutes without!!!
Posted by Old Tanker on 2007 09 27 at 08:17 PM • permalink#62 Hi Old Tanker,
I have three dogs of my own. Been through the bucket on the head and bandaged feet many times.
Here’s something for all the dog owners out there. Especially Right Wing dog owners.
I believe it may speak for most people on this blog also.
Mrs Beeton for Activists (Peta ed.)
First, steal your rabbit…

Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 09 28 at 01:18 AM • permalinkVery cute beagles. Our dogs would also find the bunny a tasty snack (though they’d try to bring him inside first). And pardon the French, but this is just fucked up. What kind of asshat would steal a kids’ bunny from a pre-school?
Posted by rightwingprof on 2007 09 28 at 04:45 AM • permalink#69; The same ones who tell little Timmy that he and his brothers and sisters will die if Mommy drives him to school in the Suburban.
Posted by dean martin on 2007 09 28 at 07:17 AM • permalinkI’ve been out fishing so I missed this thread when Tim posted it.
You should see how we got bunnies when we were younger, Tim. PETA would be horrified. A net over the warren, a good ferret down the main burrow and we had bunny casserole for the next three Tuesday night dinners (Tuesday was always rabbit night at our house, an economical way to feed 11 kids and the old folks).
Not kidding, this was 1960s-70s. We caught the rabbits in a bush area in almost the centre of a large city. We all knew how to dress them, not in pink booties and a cute jacket and a pretty bonnet.
Being a few streets away from our harbour we also set fish and crab traps, and every Xmas and Easter dad knocked the heads off a couple of backyard chooks with a tomahawk. My older brothers and I used to see it as sport (sorry again PETA) as they flapped around the yard. Personally I hated chooks because of the way they pecked when I had to give them feed or collect the eggs, but I hated more the smell of wet feathers when I had to pluck (not the other word) the dead ‘uns.
Farm slaughtered beef is good to eat, so is farm slaughtered lamb. Goats are also good, also kangaroos and wallabies and other wild Australian stuff except feral pigs.
I still haven’t worked out how “good” meat is distinguishable from “bad” meat, other than bad meat has worms.
PETA must have the secret: no meat at all.

Tell those brainless, nasty thieves to come to my house to try to get Hershey (racks shell in chamber); I’ll give ‘em a warm, southern greeting: buckshot.
What on earth are these fools smoking? To hurt little children like that to further their insane agenda? This is absolutely mindboggling.
