Phoenix is resting in the special needs bunny ward, along with a blind rabbit and a bunny with a broken leg.
Reminds me of the cat killings we had here a while back. But that was Mohammed and Malvo, the DC snipers. We were looking for a disturbed teenager and had a general profile, but they did one attempted murder, blew town and ended up in DC. I brought in a forensic psychiatrist as a consultant, but the cops wouldn't do a thing.
At least in this case, they've got the perp identifed. The problem seems to be lack of witnesses for prosecution. But the perp's controlled, at least.
Looks like the poor thing had an unfortunate mail-order experience similar to our friend Wile E. Coyote, outlined in the complaint Coyote v. Acme:
"...the premature detonation of Defendant`s
product resulted in the following disfigurements to Mr. Coyote:
1. Severe singeing of the hair on the head, neck, and muzzle.
2. Sooty discoloration.
3. Fracture of the left ear at the stem, causing the ear to dangle in the aftershock with a creaking noise.
4. Full or partial combustion of whiskers, producing kinking, frazzling, and ashy disintegration.
