PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A performance-art wrestler and his roommate face animal abuse charges after the wrestler allegedly bit the head off of a live rabbit as a promotional stunt. Wrestler Darcy Lee Olson, 34, and Angela Lynn Moss, 24, each have pleaded innocent to two felony counts. Trial is set for Oct. 31. “It was a horrible act,” said Portland police Detective William Crockett. “The rabbit screamed and kicked. The guy had to consume a lot of alcohol before doing it.”
—A shame the bunny didn’t take out the guy’s tongue, like that ferret on that TV commercial. Yikes! Wonder if he swallowed the bunny’s head, or just spit it out?

Sickos. People like this have something fundamentally wrong with their wiring.

“A performance-artist wrestler”? That sounds like something from MadLibs.

Hm. Vince McMahon will probably be looking to hire him next. Given the overlap of Ozzy Osbourne fans and professional wrestling fans, he’d be stupid not to. Of course, he’ll have to change his name. What kind of a name is ‘Darcy’ for a wrestler?
Rather more seriously, I’d like to slap seven kinds of shit out of people who think this sort of stuff is entertaining.
**Eve** : You realize you just asked if Darcy took the head and then spit or swallowed? Hee hee. Sorry, it just kinda struck me there. Mind in the gutter, style of thing. In any case, we can only hope he swallowed, and the still-living head of the rabbit is slowly gnawing through his internal organs.

Bunny heads are pretty big, aren’t they, if you include the ears and all? How would you even\* fit\* an entire one in your mouth, unless you were Joe E. Brown or Mick Jagger?

I’m almost ashamed to admit that I knew about this a couple months ago, it being local news and all.
Here’s a link to the local independent rag’s article:

Most of us Portlanders don’t find this sort of thing amusing.

Our friend **December** might suggest at this point that President Clinton was known to do the same thing.

Probably it was a baby bunny.
Great. Now _I’m_ the asshole.

No, I think carrots are allowed to have a low opinion of rabbits. Same as rabbits can legitimately look down on “performance-art wrestlers.”

That is an insult to Ozzy fans the world over. At least Ozzy had the decency to bite the head off of a scary, vampire-associated, flying creature of night - and not a cute and fuzzy bunny.

Do a google search on \*\* rabbits forced mating\*\*. That’s right. Bunny rapists.

I saw this this morning and nearly vomited.
I want to hug and squeeze my bunny and tell him nobody’s getting to him, but he’d probably just bite me… 🙂

I wanna know what kind of shit this guy was drinking. I’ve been a teenie bit tipsy in my day, but never did I get the urge to partially ingest rodents.

Someone ought to bite his head off!

This guy was a wrestler, so why should I be surprised.
SCUM.
Sphincter Fuck.
I have a legal question. If, according to the news story, the police have the photos of this bloody vaginal fart performing this atrocity, why would he plead not guilty? The DA has him dead to rights and I would think he would get a lighter sentence with a guilty plea. Or am I wrong? Legal Dopers, your views?

A scary, vampire-associated flying creature of the night…A DOVE???
Oh. You’re talking about the bat. Ozzy bit the head off one of those too. At least Mr. Osbourne was an equal-opportunity biter in his youth.

Someone already did. That’s why everyone’s so upset.
Besides, how will that help the poor creature?

Maybe it was a killer rabbit. Probably not.
