Attack of the Were-Rabbit!

AFP reports: In a tale reminiscent of the last Wallace and Gromit movie, furious villagers in northeast England have hired armed guards to protect their beloved communal vegetable gardens from a suspected monster rabbit. Leeks, Japanese onions, parsnips and spring carrots have all been ripped up and devoured by the mystery were-rabbit.

Reuters reports: "This is no ordinary rabbit. We are dealing with a monster," says Felton resident Jeff Smith. "It is absolutely massive. The first time I saw it I thought to myself 'What the hell is that?' We have two lads here with guns who are trying to shoot it, but it is very clever.".

P.S.: Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is 50% off at Amazon today!
