I'm guessing it's mostly the bunny's cross to bear.

you're right - we all have our "thing" whether it's smoking or working or buggering bunnies, our cross to bear. I don't begrudge that, but, aren't you supposed to at least try?


eta - or at least LIE about trying to try- that would be the most common way.

You thought that was just an expression, didn't you?

You though she was kidding, didn't you?

A New Zealand man has been refused bail on charges of animal cruelty and bestiality after the deaths of 17 rabbits and a guinea pig at a central Sydney office building. Finance industry worker Brendan Francis McMahon, 36, of North Sydney, made a brief court appearance in Aug 12 after being arrested in a vacant office adjacent to his workplace in central Sydney.

The investigation began after skinned and partially skinned dead and dying rabbits began to appear in a lane off York Street, near Circular Quay, late last month. Police also found a dead guinea pig.

The lane adjoined a building in which McMahon allegedly occupied a first-floor office, from which he ran a financial planning and mortgage brokerage, Meares-McMahon Capital with Jason Meares, the brother of Jodhi Packer. The company was formerly known as Transpacific Securities.

During their investigations, police from The Rocks phoned city pet stores to find who had been buying rabbits and found a number of purchases from a credit card in McMahon's name.

They also seized a security video of one purchase.

McMahon was charged with 18 counts of committing acts of aggravated cruelty on 18 rabbits between July 20 and August 11.

He was also charged with committing an act of bestiality with a rabbit on August 1 between 3am and 4am.
He was also charged with two counts of possession of cannabis.

Widely corroborated by many sources and the newspapers during 2005.

Either he's hung like a hamster, or he just misunderstood the whole playboy bunny business.
