Jimmy Carter rabbit incident
Yesterday, at a family picnic, my grandson was enjoying the pool. When he finally got out I was teasing him about taking his bunny Juliet for a swim. He looked at me as if I was nuts. Bunnies don't swim or do they? Grandpa piped in that he remembered an incident many years back where President Carter was fishing and a rabbit attacked him. No one seemed to remember this story. Not me, not the young people at the picnic, nor the older ones, closer to my husband's age ! He began to believe he dreamed it. Finally we called our life line (my daughter) who asked her mate (long-time military no less) and neither of them could recall the event. But! She could and would look it up on the net...
See the story here, including links. It happened on April 20, 1979. Yes, it's true and commonly known as the Jimmy Carter Rabbit Incident or The Killer Rabbit Attack. So rabbits do swim; I would never have believed it. Big Bad Bunny / story by Franny Billingsley ; art by G. Brian Karas. 32 third graders and one class bunny : life lessons from teaching / Phillip Done. and for a bit of "rabbit" horror try these Bunnicula : a rabbit tale of mystery / by Deborah and James Howe ; illustrated by Alan Daniel. and believe it or not there are books called Killer bunnies and Zombie raccoons & killer bunnies but don't be frightened. We don't own them! |
