One Perry resident tells KCCI she was one of two people bitten by a rabbit last Friday.

Ramona Rustan said the rabbit jumped up and bit her and then hopped over to the neighbors' house.

"It came around to her car and wouldn't let her out of her car," Rustan said.

She called police.

"The police department says it's been a rabbit that has been around terrorizing people," Rustan said.

The Perry police gave KCCI a call report that details a 13-year-old girl who was also bitten by the rabbit.

The 13-year-old will be getting a rabies shot. Rustan, who says she is a nurse, is not planning on getting a rabies shot.

Why let them go? They make great stew.

Squirrel and dumplings.

Trapping and turning them loose somewhere else is not good, FRiend.

“There it is!”

“Where?”

“There!”

“What, behind the rabbit?”

“It is the rabbit.”

Probably the same one that attacked Jimmy Carter in a boat.

Inexcusable! This rabbi has gone mad and is giving us all a bad name!

Better a wooded area with water, than on my roof looking for a way to get in the attic. Drop a nest in there, and share the news with all their friends.

Never met a rabbit that could survive a shotgun.

Save the shell, just stomp to death or use an 8 iron.

Has to be dead to test for rabies .

My father and his pals (WW2 vets) told of hunting rabbits with canes or sticks, not just box traps, etc.

Likely, like desirable game fish, most rabbits got a lot smarter in multiple generations. Fewer hunters may be making them dumber, or bolder, as the case may be.

Offspring of Jimmy Carter’s swamp rabbit.

I saw the “Holy Grail” references and I was waiting for the Jimmy Carter reference. Well done. 😁
