Hundreds Line Up To Adopt "Lucky" The Rabbit - Remember The Explosives?

a MatcomNews UPDATE

Lucky, the rabbit who was tossed into an East Bay lake with an explosive attached, has found a new home.

The animal is now staying permanently with a 42-year-old Concord woman who has experience taking care of rabbits, especially abandoned ones.

"She's a very sweet little rabbit," said Rachel, who did not want her last name used. "She seems to be able to exhibit not only unconditional love, but unconditional forgiveness, too. She seems to be getting past her bad experience and allowing other people to get to know her."

Authorities said Lucky's former owner, Nick Sigmon, 18, his friend, Paul Collins, 20, and others had taped an M-1000 -- a firecracker equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite -- to the rabbit and tossed it into Lake Don Castro in Castro Valley on July 13.

The explosive failed to detonate, and Sigmon fished Lucky from the water. East Bay Regional Park District police were called after pictures of the incident wound up on the Internet.

Sigmon, of San Leandro, and Collins, a Castro Valley resident, are lifeguards at the lake. They have pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor animal- cruelty charges and are due back at Alameda County Superior Court in Hayward on Sept. 24.

For everyone that wants to be locked in a small room with these chuckleheads for a half hour.

I promise I won't leave too many marks.

3. oh, really?

I know some folks in the Biology department there. I don't think they're going to be at all impressed when they hear about his so-called prank.
