Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately, he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don’t help. I rescued him several months ago. I found him under my porch, soaking wet, injured from what appeared to be an attack from an alley cat. I took him in, thinking he had no chance to live from his injuries, but miraculously, he recovered. I have since spent several months nursing him to health. Toby is a fighter, that’s for sure.

Unfortunately, on June 30th, 2005, Toby will die. I am going to eat him. I am going to take Toby to a butcher to have him slaughter this cute bunny. I will then prepare Toby for a midsummer feast. I have several recipes under consideration, which can be seen, with some pretty graphic images, under the recipe section.

I don’t want to eat Toby, he is my friend, and he has always been the most loving, adorable pet. However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I receive 50,000$ USD into my account from donations or purchase of merchandise. You can help this poor, helpless bunny’s cause by making donations through my verified PayPal account by clicking on any of the Donate buttons on this site, or by purchasing merchandise at the Savetoby.com online store.

Here is the current status of donations for Toby, as of March 3rd, 2005. Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

savetoby.com

so, who's crazier, the guy who made the site, or the people actually donating?

Sorry to hear that.

I once had a rabbit called Pepper. It went missing one day.

Maybe thats why I have such a deep-rooted intrest in UM's.

I love rabbit. Specially when it is soaked in red wine for a while, and then served with oranges or plumes. Delicious ! Its been my favorite meat since i was very little.

It is actually too stupid to understand. I wont even try. People like that suck. Terribly.

Can I just add, does anyone think it looks like it has been injured? I mean, alley cats are merciless, it is their nature. They kill for fun, but that rabbit hasn't got a scar or anything.

These guys claim that they have caught the guy and they will kill him for only $10,000. Sounds like a much better deal to me!

Makes me want to start my own website called savetoby'sowner. I will save toby but only if I'm donated a certain amount.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a great idea to make money... I will set up a webcam to "toby's" cage 24/7 so people will know i'm not bluffing! Then the world could watch me cook him if they didn't pay up. Hehehe.

Chris_com28

Mar 18 2005, 04:44 AM

We'll need a real human though:D
Maybe we could put an ad somewhere for someone who wants to be locked in a cage for months and at the end possibly killed, cooked and eaten on webcam.

Altough out of date, this site is pretty funny:

http://www.savetoby.com/

Because bunnies awe such adowabwe wittwe cwittews, peopwe awe hopping mad
about a Web site cawwed savetoby.com, fiwwed wif photos
and even a video of a cute wabbit named Toby, accompanied by a thweat on his
wife.

"On June 30, 2005, Toby wiww die," pwocwaims an anonymous authow on
the site. "I am going to eat him. God as my witness, I wiww
devouw this wittwe guy unwess I weceive $50,000 into my account." De site
awso contains sevewaw wecipes fow cooking Toby. One, fow
Wapin Bwaise, wists as the pwime ingwedient: "1 Toby cut in sewving-sized
pieces. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! " Animaw wovews, wike Sue
Bwennan, who wuns a shewtew cawwed "Wabbit Haven" in Gig Hawbow,
Washington, awe outwaged.

"I think it's puwewy emotionaw bwackmaiw and it was aww designed to get a
weaction," says Bwennan, uh-hah-hah-hah. "De weaction he
is wooking fow is money." She and othew animaw wights activists have been
cawwing fow it to be taken down, uh-hah-hah-hah. But
GoDaddy.com, an Awizona company that hosts the site, wefuses to puww the pwug.

Bob Pawsons, GoDaddy foundew and pwesident says, "Dewe's nothing iwwegaw
about the Web site. It's pewfectwy wegaw to eat a wabbit."
Pawsons says he's skepticaw about the sewiousness of the anonymous thweat.
"To be honest," he notes, "we don't know if he's actuawwy
going to eat the wabbit. We don't even know if thewe is a wabbit."

I can't read your post.

"Save Toby" isn't real, in case anyone didn't know.

It reminds me of that site where they claimed to bottle up kittens and sell them as art. Somehow it "formed" the kittens properly or something.
