$50.000 Dollars Needed to Save This Pet
"Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately, he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don't help" are the opening remarks on the website www.savetoby.com.

The unidentified creator of the website threatens to kill the rabbit if people don't send in donations. Most incredulous of all, is that people are sending in money, more that us$28.000 so far, if you can believe the numbers posted at the bottom of the main page.

The website tells of the story of the pet rabbit was saved months ago after suffering an injury possibly by an alley cat.

"I have since spent several months nursing him to health.
Unfortunately, on June 30th, 2005, Toby will die. I am going to eat him. I am going to take Toby to a butcher to have him slaughter this cute bunny. I will then prepare Toby for a midsummer feast. I have several recipes under consideration, which can be seen, with some pretty graphic images, under the recipe section.

I don’t want to eat Toby, he is my friend, and he has always been the most loving, adorable pet. However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I receive 50,000$ USD into my account from donations or purchase of merchandise. "

You can help this poor, helpless bunny’s cause by making a donation or by purchasing merchandise at the website's online store.
