Wild Black

[MikeTheDog 153]

A couple of years back, October 2005, Meg’ caught this ‘wild black’ and returned the wretched thing to me alive! Until that moment I had never seen such a bad case of Myxomatosis in a living rabbit! It’s reckoned that most rabbits that catch it will die in seven to ten days as a result of this hideous man induced disease, usually from dehydration starvation and probably hypothermia as well! So bad was this example that if I had not ‘zoomed’ in on the image you would find it difficult to be able to tell its arse from its ear!

 

 

 

 

 

The image link below shows the demise of this unfortunate coney. It never moved until Meg’s was upon it and even then she was unsure of the rabbit as its behaviour was, as you can imagine, not up to par. As she runs the rabbit you could almost imagine what Meg’ is thinking, “what the feck is thisâ€, as it does not appear to her as any normal rabbit should!

I honestly cant even tell what part is what on that pic! youve got the copyright bit on it, but to be honest mate I doubt many will want to copy that :sick: :sick:

 

We got a Rabbit today when shooting that was clearly blind in one eye. Was this a case of a recoverd mxy rabbit?

[FastDogz 155]

Great action shots...

 

Shame about the state of the bunny like..too much of it around worst i have seen was 2004/5 almost every 3rd rabbit i came across had the gummed eyes,wet look fur..no other option didnt have a gun,dog,ferret or anything but when you can just pick them up thats when you know you have to put them out there misery

 

Not a nice thing to have to do with bare hands but rarther that than see a long painful death..

Thats one thing i really hate.

 

Fair play to you Mike for putting it out of its misery.

 

Nice pics of the dog once more
