I only WISH this guy had a comment section I could read. Pretty sure PETA would be sending death threats by now...

edit: pretty sure this is the same as the "cat in a jar" scheme from a few years ago. Pretty hilarious though!!

Haha, that's hilarious! He's been stopped though. I tried clicking on the donate button just for the hell of it and I got an error message saying that "This recipient is unable to receive money."

The Washington Post succeeded where others have failed in getting the operator of the behated "Save Toby" site to speak for the record, albeit under a pseudonym. "We've received hundreds of death threats," acknowledged "James" when asked about the public uproar over the project. Does he really plan on eating the rabbit if he doesn't receive $50,000 in donations by June 30? "There's no doubt about it," he told Post reporter David Segal. Amassing that sum may prove more difficult now that PayPal has canceled the Save Toby account, which they concluded violates the "offensive materials" clause of their Terms of Service. Does "James" really, truly mean it, or is it a prank? My money's still on the latter, though PETA isn't happy about it either way.
