$50,000 for a man not to eat a rabbit. The curious case of SaveToby.com.

$50,000 in donations and merchandise sales will save Toby. If you haven?t taken a look at http://www.SaveToby.com, or are hearing about this for the first time, here?s the issue. A man claims to have found an injured, young rabbit under a porch one day, and then nursed it back to health. He then named the rabbit Toby. This individual swears that he will have Toby butchered and served for dinner on June 30, 2005, unless he is able to raise $50,000 in donations or merchandise sales. If he is able to raise the money, he then promises that Toby will forever live the life of a king (you can decide what that means). The story, photos of Toby (one of which shows Toby sitting in a cooking pot), possible recipes and answers to questions (some dealing with the legality of the website and the underlying idea) are all provided at http://www.SaveToby.com [tags]eat, rabbit[/tags]
