ah the fun of scams......but scambaiting is even more funny

i like that bunny. its very cute

and no, hes not eating it. hes shady, but smart.

How do you know he's not going to eat it? Whether or not 'Toby' actually exists is a valid question, but I don't see why you think it's so far fetched that he would eat it. I used to work at a catering company and we would have a group of hunters in every year that would eat anything and everything that you can hunt (Including rabbits, raccons, veal, bear, and sheep's testicles.) I don't know if this guy actually has a rabbit, but if he does, I don't see any reason he wouldn't actually eat it. *shrug*

im wondering what butcher would actually cut this rabbit for him. there are certain, very specific, and numerous specifications in regards to food, pets, pets as food, food as pets, etc. etc.

well, i guess he could have it done in the privacy of the guys house, but yeh, i somehow doubt hes that close to his butcher

this reminds me a lot of www.bonsaikitten.com, especially the pic of toby in the pot and on the plate, LOL

except bonsai never went as far as to take money (at least, not from what i saw)

Yeah those Banzai Kittens made me laugh too. They should have charged to let them out.

In regards to a butcher, I dont think he would actually need one. It's just 1 bunny. It'd be fairly easy to kill, clean, and cook all by himself. If he was cleaning 100 pounds of meat, it'd be different, but this is just one rabbit. I bet he could have it done in an hour.

oh yeh. i know it would be easy to do it himself. what im sayin, is why he woudl even bother to say that he would go to a butcher and do it?

get what im sayin? that would seriously make me question his story.

Ahhhh I see what you are saying....

Well that one anti-killing Toby website I pointed out says that there aer three different bunny pictures, all labeled Toby, but each one is a different bunny.

I dont actually even think this guy has a bunny but it's a great concept to get some quick cash out of some suckers and he isn't breaking any laws.

see..... his idea did work on you for a while, thats his aim to scaremonger people into donating, by making them 'believe' in his idea and his rabbit. Only, you could see through it and laughed it off.

This thing aint new... advertising companies have been exploiting the idea for many years, only this one is a bit mean on poor ickle wabbit.

I wouldn't say his idea worked on me. I just found it highly entertaining. I never considered for a second sending him any money, but I do wish I had thought of this first. I saw that stuff about the multiple rabbits in the pictures before I even started this thread so no, I wasn't ever buying into this stuff. Just discussing it.

:)

I've been saying it was a piece of brilliance since I posted it this morning but I never said I believed that he had the rabbit or would kill it. I just said I don't see any reason he wouldn't, if he did have it. Personally, I couldn't care any less about the rabbit. I hope people send him $49, 990 and it turns out he was serious all along and then he butchers it and eats it on a live webcast. To me, that would be really funny.
