| That is biggest load of cr@p I've seen since the Ebay wedding dress guy - although that was pretty funny. Quite pitiful! If you click on "donate now" (as I did out of curiosity), it says "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." so it looks like maybe he was shut down but it also looks like he's received over $19,000 so far (if I remember right). Like I said, pitiful! The things people will do to try to scam some bucks.

| Well, of course it's not true - I should have known. I always check out snopes.com before responding to this kind of thing but this time didn't. For those interested... http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/savetoby.asp

| this looks somewhat like bonsi kitty. search and you will find some really sick stuff but, the site was a project on human reaction from some colage kids. this really looks like a load. as always take what you see read and hear with a grain of salt. everything is not real. with that if it is in fact real i would not donate as that would open the door for more of this kind of stuff to happen. not that the bunny does not deserve to live it does. hey i love bunnies. lets all pray that this is a joke |

| That is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen! Some people really have nothing to do. The whole thing is probably bogus. I'll bet the money figure that he has raised thus far is too. Like people are going to send money like that to him even though it is an adorable picture and no one wants to think of that happening. Well, I guess some would, people can be scammed so easily by these stupid, mean people. Of course, some people eat rabbit all of the time, they just don't discuss it like he did and talk about it as some sort of hostage situation. Anyway, hopefully that website got shut down and he's not getting satisfaction out of getting a rise out of people or money if he really did get any. He's just a cruel, sick, stupid person it sounds like!

| that is ridiculous........ just eat the darn bunny and get it over with......jk.... i cant believe someone would actually do this to raise money, i doubt he would eat teh bunny, but still..... despite what a lot of you think, i could see people actually donating money to this crazy idiot... i doubt he raised 19000 but im sure he has gotten some money donated before they stopped his paypal account, lmao.... what would be even better, is if he raised OVER $50,000 and he couldnt access his paypal |

| People are so sick. It makes me so sad when I hear about cruelty or suggested cruelty towards pets. |
