I vote for Hassenpfeffer!
I've always wondered what Hassenpfeffer was, ever since the Bugs Bunny cartoon where Yosemite Sam is the king and he threatens to make Bugs Bunny into Hassenpfeffer if he doesn't kill the dragon. Remember the ending? Bugs is disguised as the cook and Sam is screaming, "Cook! Cook! Where's my lunch? Where's my dinner? WHERE'S MY HASSENPFEFFER?"
Now I know! |

!WARNING!: Save Bernd has viruses on the site!
Bunny lovers everywhere can once again breathe easily: savetoby.com is a hoax. Although the site now lacks a disclaimer, a visitor to it on 9 February 2005 spotted one that said: "Note: this is a joke: please only donate to buy gear or help support savetoby.com." Even without such explicit clarification, certain things about the site should make the buffoonery clear:
The premise of the threat ("Send money or I'll kill the rabbit") gives away the jest. Society regards rabbits as one of the more disposable pets: every year thousands of bunnies end up with Humane Societies or animal rescue groups because their previous owners very quickly proved unable or unwilling to care for them. While rabbits do make fine pets, they also require veterinary care (including one-time spaying/neutering and annual vaccinations against disease), specialized diets, and reasonably large indoor cages, all of which represent a level of commitment many who vaguely thought they might like to keep a rabbit or two are generally unaware of at the time of adoption. Also, despite their resemblance to plush toys, rabbits do not like to be held, petted, or carted about, which means those who think they're taking on animal companions they can hug and squeeze to their hearts' content discover only after the fact that the sort of critter they thought they were bringing into their homes isn't at all what they ended up with. Consequently, any number of cute, fluffy pet bunnies are unceremoniously turned loose outdoors (where they live, on average, for three days), killed by their owners, or are handed over to animal shelters and rescue groups.
The "Save Toby" jape swings upon the notion of this particular rabbit's cuteness, inspiring folks to pry open their wallets to the tune of $16,380.18 . . . in a world where rabbits are regarded as worthless and animal shelters can't find donors to support their work.
The 'Balance:' figure which purports to showcase the amount already extorted (located near the bottom of the site's main page in a section labeled 'Premium Account Overview') is a fixed graphic, not a counter. It is periodically edited to increase the number displayed so as to maintain the appearance that folks actually are chipping in to preserve Toby's life. As of 1 March 2005, the amount shown was $16,380.18.
Similar to savetoby.com is Save Bernd! (http://www.krohm.net/bernd.htm), another "pay or the rabbit gets it" site run by an operator who threatens to turn Bernd, a pet bunny he found outdoors on a rainy night, into "Rabbit with Chanterelle" for his Easter dinner if visitors don't donate 1,000,000 Euros by 27 March 2005. (Warning: The "Save Bernd!" site is pop-up hell. If you go to that site, don't expect to easily back out of the many new browser windows its advertising programs will open. We do not offer an clickable link to it because some of our readers have reported strange behaviors on the part of their computers after visiting the "Save Bernd!" site.)
Bernd was previously scheduled to become someone's New Year's dinner; earlier versions of the site announced "I swear by God, I will have this lovely rabbit for New Year's Eve Dinner if my account doesn't show a balance of at least 1,000000 |

They'll get to my post & see what happened, then say, "ah, yes, Smerk does indeed make sense! That sensible Smerk!!" |

Rabbit is "ok", not my favorite, but it could be just horror at the idea that they killed Thumper. 😉
I'm also not keen on bear meat. When I was a kid my Dad killed one and had it ageing in his shop without letting us kids know till after we found it. Bears look -really- creepily human when they are skinned and hung. |

Yeah, there was a case in Alberta when I lived there. Someone dug up a bunch of hands in their field one day. Turned out that they were skinned bear paws. Someone got in trouble for poaching bears, eventually.
Rabbit's yummy. My mom would never eat it because she said the skinned rabbit looked too much like a dead baby.
Bear's good, too, esp. in sausages.
Mmm, damn you guys got me thinking I need to order some 'different' meat. There was an ad in the local paper the other day for elk meat. Maybe I should get some...
As for the topic, I think that anyone would be nuts to give this freak cash either way (whether he kills it or not). They're just feeding this guy free cash (that is, if he's ever actually accepted money for this...). And even if 'they' succeed in saving the rabbit, the result is the same. What did they gain?
So, if I send him money and he doesn't reach his monetary goal and kills the rabbit anyway, do ya think he'd send me some stew? |

About the cloned cats mentioned by James. I saw a program on Dicovery channel cloning cats not too long ago. Interestingly, the cloned cats they were doing came out with different coloured/textured fur. *If I recall correcly*, they cloned a calico and the clone was tabby coloured. So, if it won't have the personality of your animal, nor would it look like your animal, why bother. |

Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 | 09:53 PM
Yes...I read all about cloning cats on clonekatie.com
She knows that the cat may not look the same as the genetic doner. Read her website! Wait, her site is not up at the moment. I emailed her, she said it would be up again in a couple of days. |
