Yikes! An actual case of man-on-rabbit!

Call Senator Santorum!

A New Zealand-born man living in Australia has been arrested on suspicion of engaging in sexual activity with a rabbit.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that 36 year old Brendan McMahon is charged with bestiality and animal cruelty.

Police allege that McMahon, 36, of North Sydney, had sexual relations with one of 18 rabbits whose mutilated carcasses have been dumped in the city over the past three weeks.

He appeared before a Central Local Court magistrate, Allan Moore, yesterday on 21 charges, having been arrested at 1am in Tamarama. He offered no plea.

The investigation began after skinned and partially skinned dead and dying rabbits began to appear in a lane off York Street, near Circular Quay, late last month. Police also found a dead guinea pig.
The story does not mention whether the prospect of gay marriage in the United States motivated Mr. McMahon's alleged actions. Australia does not recognize same-sex marriage.

Thanks to Harper's Weekly Review for the link.

But perhaps as long as the participants were of different genders, they would recognize not-same-species marriage?

(thinking of old Alan Sherman song, "You're Getting to be a Rabbit With Me")
