Man learns casino losses not deductible
DARWEN, England, July 12 (UPI) -- A British man said his 13-year-old daughter's pet rabbit was stolen by someone, possibly an animal activist, who left behind a note about "cruelty to animals."
Oliver Bailey, 38, of Darwen, England, said his daughter, Kiera Bailey, came downstairs Friday morning and discovered Barney, the rabbit she has owned for nine years, had been taken and replaced with a note, the Daily Mail reported Monday.
"Rabbits are social animals, they should not be left alone in a hutch with no interaction," the note read. "This rabbit has also got no exercise! This is cruelty to animals."
Bailey said Kiera and her 10-year-old brother, Harry, are "heartbroken." He said the person who took the rabbit is likely a "nutter" and the bunny would not do well on his own in the wild.
"If they let him out into the woods he will die because he's tame," Bailey said.
He said the theft has been reported to police.
