Well this doesn't bode well for the new lunar year.

A zoo in China organizes a “handover ceremony” for going from the year of the tiger to the year of the rabbit ahead of the Chinese New Year.

The results can't have been entirely unexpected The way they screamed! Yeesh! This is reportedly real: The Linfen Zoo in Shanxi decided to do a cute, fun little ceremony with both the animals to celebrate the end of the Year of the Tiger (2022) and the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit (2023). They brought out a cute little bunny with a precious tiger cub and, well...

Here's another reported video released from the zoo that includes take two at the end:

The tale reminds me of Rush’s story about children returning birds to Prince William Sound. The birds were cleaned of oil from ghe Exxon Valdez. If I recall the story, another animal used the birds for lunch.

as i remember, a seal was being released and they had a high school band there with cheerleaders and lots of children and one hungry killer whale. yup. all went silent, as sammy the seal was swallowed up in an array of blood.

similarly, the white rabbit in this chinese clip.

Thanks. I could not remember the details. My husband was thinking a seal. Rush would have a lot of fun with this story!

I recall a few years ago Pope Francis released “doves of peace” from the Vatican, which were immediately killed by hawks.
