This is an absolutely marvelous example of why I think this country is 
doomed.  How in the world ANYONE who has an IQ even slightly larger than 
their shoe size could possibly think that the picture of an animal carcass 
would get them a live bunny is beyond me.  And the moron that doesn't know 
that in many cultures rabbit IS the easter meal is also shoe size equal in 
the IQ department.  Or, most probably, simply the typical product of the 
public school system.
