"Welcome,

Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately, he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don’t help. I rescued him several months ago. I found him under my porch, soaking wet, injured from what appeared to be an attack from an alley cat. I took him in, thinking he had no chance to live from his injuries, but miraculously, he recovered. I have since spent several months nursing him to health. Toby is a fighter, that’s for sure.

Unfortunately, on June 30th, 2005, Toby will die. I am going to eat him. I am going to take Toby to a butcher to have him slaughter this cute bunny. I will then prepare Toby for a midsummer feast. I have several recipes under consideration, which can be seen, with some pretty graphic images, under the recipe section.

I don’t want to eat Toby, he is my friend, and he has always been the most loving, adorable pet. However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I receive 50,000$ USD into my account from donations or purchase of merchandise."

:lol

Lapin Braisé

* 1 Toby cut in serving-sized pieces flour for dusting with salt and pepper :lol
* 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
* 6 artichokes
* 2 1/4" thick slices of slab bacon, diced
* 1 small sweet onion, diced
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 carrot, diced
* 1 lemon
* 3 small tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
* 1/2 c. dry white wine
* 2-4 c. homemade chicken broth
* ouquet garni of 4 flat parsley stems, 6 leafy thyme branches, 1 bay leaf tied up with kitchen twine Salt and pepper
* 1/4 c chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Snap the leaves off the artichokes until only the tender inner leaves remain. Snap off the stem. Trim the remaining green bits from the bottom of the artichoke, and cut off the inner leaves in a bunch at the point where they are very tender. Pare the tough green outer layer off the remaining stem, pairing the stem into a point. Now cut the artichoke bottom into quarters and remove the choke with a sharp knife from each quarter. Rinse to remove any traces of foin ("hay") and drop them into a bowl of water acidulated with the juice of half a lemon.

Heat 2 T olive oil in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven. Dredge the rabbit pieces in seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Brown over medium heat, turning regularly, until golden on all sides. Remove rabbit pieces to a plate and dump any oil remaining in the pan. Add 1 T of the remaining oil and the bacon dice. (Omit bacon if you only have access to the thin-sliced vacuum packed supermarket variety.) Sauté until cooked but not "crisp". Add the remaining T of oil and the onion and carrot. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the artichoke quarters and the garlic, stir one minute, and add the tomatoes and the white wine. Turn up the heat and reduce until syrupy, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Lay the bouquet garni on top of the vegetables. Arrange the rabbit pieces on top, together with any juice accumulated in the plate.

Pour in enough broth to come halfway up the sides of the rabbit pieces. Cover and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer over very low heat about 1 hour or cook in the oven at 350 degrees for the same amount of time. The rabbit should be just tender and part readily from the bone. Don't overcook or it will become dry. Check the liquid level frequently and add more broth if necessary. Turn the rabbit pieces once.

When done, remove the rabbit pieces to a warm platter and arrange the vegetables, removed with a slotted spoon, around them. Cover and keep warm. Strain the remaining pan juices into a smaller saucepan and reduce over high heat, skimming frequently, until reduced by 1/3. Pour over the platter and serve immediately. Sprinkle with finely chopped flat-leaf parsley if you like.

What if you did the same thing with a cow? I mean eating babies is just illegal so that's not a good analogy.

Consequently, any number of cute, fluffy pet bunnies are unceremoniously turned loose outdoors (where they live, on average, for three days), killed by their owners, or are handed over to animal shelters and rescue groups.

that makes me sad :(

Bunnies are such great pets (I have 4) and are so easy to take care of. Why are there so many stupid people out there?

I find Save Toby very funny. I ate rabbit all the time when I studied in France and I can attest that it's very good, although to be honest I don't think a little pet rabbit like Toby will have much serviceable meat on him.

(I can also attest that what snopes says about small animals being a lot more work to keep than you'd think at first is very true.)

Here's a question for you though: if I put up a website like this dedicated to eating my cat, butters, would that be wrong? Also consider that I am a lifelong vegetarian, so there would be like an extra bonus to my first piece of meat being my cat or something.

Here's a picture of Butters:

I'd kind of be interested to see how you would prepare the cat, but if you actually did it you would be arrested, so don't do it.

The pornographer/wrestling company owner Rob Black did this shit like 8 years ago. He threatened to feed a puppy to his snake but I can't remember the exact requirements for him to not do it. Either way, there was a huge public outcry and animal rights groups got involved.

Recently, he has been on trial for sending porno videos with mock rape and murder scenes through the mail. Rob Black is my hero.

I'm pretty sure there are some Chinese butcher shops around Atlanta that I could go to and have ol' Butters "prepared" if I had to. But that's all up to you guys...

:lol this is the greatest idea ever in the history of the internet.

Isn't this extortion?

* Extortion is a criminal offense, which occurs when a person obtains money, behaviour, or other goods and/or services from another by wrongfully threatening or inflicting harm to his person, reputation, or property.


Take notice to the line that says “to HIS person, reputation, or property”. This is a key phrase because yes, I am threatening Toby’s life, but Toby is MY property. There is no law against threatening your own property. Would it be illegal for me to tell someone I’m going to bash my car windshield in if they don’t give me 50 bucks? Nope.

Hey, this is animal cruelty!!
Wrong again, chief. I am doing nothing cruel to Toby. In fact, I am trying to give him the best life of any rabbit in the world. That is exactly why I need your help. Toby has not been tortured or abused in anyway. I am taking Toby to a butcher (hopefully not and you have the power to help prevent this by donating!) so that if he has to die, it will happen in the most humane way possible.

This is animal cruelty as defined by the ASPCA: 1. A person is guilty of aggravated cruelty to animals when, with no justifiable purpose, he or she intentionally causes serious physical injury to a companion animal with aggravated cruelty. For purposes of this section, "aggravated cruelty" shall mean conduct which: (i) is intended to cause extreme physical pain; or (ii) is done or carried out in an especially depraved or sadistic manner.

Elsewhere in the legal section of the site it says Save Toby is a non-profit organisation...is this all for charity? Gotta say that makes it less funny, it was better when i thought it was an evil scheme, not something that actually might help people.

Wow.. that is one fat cat. Also, how do we know that Toby is still alive? Maybe he's already been eaten. That is one sick bastard. But I respect him so much, for taking the money of idiots.

It would be kind of funny if he ate toby anyway :lol

Could you sue him if you donated money, he met his goal and he ate toby anyway?

I really fucking hope he's been transferring donations out of that account while this has been going on, because paypal has fucked people over in the past and they've never been able to recover their funds.
