Jack rabbits attack walkers in Sonoma County; man bitten, woman forced to evade jack rabbit

Published 8:10 p.m. PST Friday, March 29, 2002

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - Sonoma County musician Doug Bowes will remember this Easter season as the one where he happened upon the Easter Bunny, and it attacked him.

Bowes was walking near his home at about 11 a.m. Wednesday when the attack occurred. A small, gray jack rabbit bounded toward him from a nearby fence.

“I thought, ‘Gosh, this is somebody’s pet,’ “ Bowes said. He put his hand down in a friendly gesture and the bunny lunged and bit him.

Bowes began to walk home, nursing a sore hand with broken skin, but the rabbit followed him. A short time later, a nearby neighbor had to retreat up a hill after another aggressive jack rabbit forced her back.

Bowes had to get rabies shots and faces five additional vaccinations, though area health officials say it would be rare if the animal had rabies.

“If it were (rabid) it would make history,” said David Yong, director of laboratory services for the county public health division. No rabbit has tested positive for rabies in Sonoma County in the past 16 years, Yang said.


Since you’re rather blind regarding your particular obsession, the *point* I am making is that ALL animals are ANIMALS.

ALL dogs are basically watered down wolves.

Rottweilers account for nearly as many fatal attacks as “pit bulls”.

Why are you not alerting us to every Rottweiler attack?

Other than a handful of Pit haters, most people are weary of your phobia.

Bad things happen all the time.
People get bitten by and/or killed by many different animals on a daily basis all over this planet.

German Shepherds [now who could *possibly* hate Rin Tin Tin?] are #3 on the list, with Chows coming close behind.

Start posting those sensational stories, too.

What?
You can’t because they don’t get all the bad press that pit bulls get?

Either post dog attack stories with -complete-, impartial honesty or give over with the pit bull phobia.

Your posts are tinged with an irrational horror of a particular breed.

For crying out loud, I’m a *girl* and the breed doesn’t terrify me like it apparently does you.

“2000? 2002? LOL.”

I had no idea that the year it occurred made the children any less DEAD.

If I have absolutely nothing better to do, I’ll try and find something a bit more contemporary, therefore more in tune with your agenda.
