Rural Idyll, or Farm of Fear????

Rare Tiger Rabbit seen in Upper Aramoho.

Wanganui farmer Jess Michaelson has sent in this amazing photo of the fabled Wanganui Tiger Rabbit. Speaking from his rural idyll of Upper Aramoho under conditions of anonymity, Mr Michaelson confirmed that he had seen the rabbit after it had wantonly destroyed 7 cabbages that were in Mr Michaelson's garden. "Those were the kids Christmas cabbages" sobbed a tearful Mr Michaelson as, under conditions of anonymity, he talked by phone from his Waireka Road property. "And now the bloody Tiger Rabbit has eaten one and ruined the rest"
An understandably distraught Mr Michaelson said that messages of support on his cell phone (027) MICHAELSON"S BRASSICA FARM were helping him and his wife bear up. "The Tiger rabbit has ruined our Christmas" he repeated in a frankly nauseating display of self pity. "Well have to give the kids brussels sprouts, and we wanted to eat them all ourselves"
"Boo Hoo" he added
It thought that the Upper Aramoho Tiger Rabbit is a result of mating between an Aramoho Rabbit and a mascot Tiger loosed by American GI"s here in the Second World War. Whatever it is the result of, it has eaten all of the kids Christmas and added to misery of this family as they drive around in their Yellow 2005 Toyota Previa, CAB 721.
