ABSTRACT

Natural justice, but not the police, has caught up with two men in South Australia who killed a rabbit with high explosive. According to a free magazine distributed to Australian expatriates in London, police are looking for the two who apparently tied a stick of gelignite to the bunny and lit the fuse before setting the terrified animal free. ‘The trick backfired,’ the magazine reports, ‘when the rabbit took cover under their four-wheel drive vehicle. The men escaped but their $20 000 utility was wrecked.’
