When news is slow you have to start scraping the barrel a bit. This seems to be what happened in Scotland with this report.
It came in on the newsfeed because it contains the terms “pupil” and “driving instructor”, and so would have been sent to recipients worldwide. This hot-off-the-press story reveals how a driving instructor and her pupil rescued a rabbit (or “bunny wabbit”, as I suspect it may have been translated at the time) that was apparently wandering towards a road. The Scottish SPCA is looking for the owner.
And that’s the complete story. The rabbit wasn’t suspected of money-laundering or crowd violence at football matches or anything. He wasn’t on the police most-wanted list. There is nothing else. But it seems to have been justification for sending a paparazzi round to the lock-up he was being held at.
Mind you, the photo cracked me up for some reason. I think it was a combination of his floppy ears, his expression – and the fact that they actually sent someone to get his picture (even if he IS cute). His name is Jerry, if you’re interested.
