OK, jokiness aside........WHAT.
Yes taking someones pet and feeding it to an animal isnt nice but come on if the Gator had captured it itself and eaten it that would not have been torture....jeez, heres something you might not know, in the wild alot of animals are eaten alive.....and as for the 'they could have given the gator something that was already dead' what like? Go to the butchers and spend money....hmmm, not exactly the bio of these people, or shoud they have slit the throat of the bunny THEN fed it to the gator?
On a funny note, i loved the news paper lead - 'Thugs Bunny'...hehehe
