Obviously the rabbit has done this before. Yet more proof that it is a menace to society and must be stopped!

Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes,  
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses  
And whats with all the carrots?  
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?  
Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies!
