Brian Dzyak Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/15/til-bunny-dead-german-celebrity-rabbit_n_1346941.html BERLIN — An earless baby bunny that was a rising star on Germany's celebrity animal scene had his 15 minutes of fame brought to an abrupt end when he was accidentally stepped on by a television cameraman. The fate of 17-day-old Til, a bunny with a genetic defect, was plastered across German newspapers on Thursday, the same day a small zoo in Saxony was to have presented him to the world at a press conference. The cameraman told Bild newspaper he hadn't seen Til, who had buried himself in hay, when he took the fateful step backward Wednesday. Zoo director Uwe Dempewolf tells Spiegel magazine Til didn't suffer: "It was a direct hit." Germany has been home to several global animal celebrities in recent years, including polar bear Knut and Paul the prognosticating octopus.

Adam MB Smith Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 How big was this camera man? :o You need quite of bit of weight to sufficiently splatter a bunny. Or was the bunny just very tiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Glencairn Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It was a baby bunny - the poor camera guy is now hated by the whole nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
