It brings a new meaning to “Playboy Bunny”.
A former Playboy model and famed bunny breeder is offering the equivalent of $ 1,300 for the return of her world-record bunny, who was stolen from her home in Worcestershire over the weekend.
“It was a very sad day. Guinness World Record Darius stolen from home ” wrote on Twitter Annette Edwards from the UK of its 10-year-old continental rabbit, which is 4 feet long and 4 inches long holds the Guinness World Record for the longest rabbit in the world.
“The police are doing their best to find out who took him. There is a £ 1,000 reward, “Edwards added.
The identity of the rabbit burglars still remains unclear.
The theft marks a heartbreaking blow for the 68-year-old mother and former glamor model, who holds the 2008 world record with four of her animals capturing the title, the Daily Mail reported.
And while Darius currently holds the colossal cotton-tailed crown, he should be overshadowed by his descendants, Lewis and Daisy May, who are both already over 4 feet long.
Unfortunately, the 35-pound Darius is too old to breed now – but his large offspring sold for nearly $ 350.
Raising such a lively rabbit is not a wonderful thing. Edwards spends nearly $ 7,000 feeding his behemoth bunnies the carrots and apples needed to maintain his massive size. She says the secret to their great upbringing is to make sure their parents are huge and not cross paths.
Edwards is so in love with bunnies that he struggled to become one: he would have dropped more than $ 13,500 on implants on his cheeks, chin and breast lift, in an effort to look like Jessica Rabbit, the cartoon sexpot. animated by “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.
A West Mercia police spokesman confirmed to the Daily Mail that he was investigating the theft of the rabbits: “We are appealing for information following the theft of an award-winning rabbit from his home in Stoulton, Worcestershire,” Officer Daren Riley told. “It is believed that the Continental Giant rabbit was stolen from its premises in the garden of its owners’ property overnight on Saturday, April 10 – April 11.”
Meanwhile, this is not the first time a tragedy has befallen one of Edwards’ beloved bunnies. In 2017, Darius’ son Simon – who was supposed to become the biggest rabbit in the world – mysteriously died during a United Airlines flight from London to US customers.
The flight company dug deeper after incinerating the 3-meter-long rabbit without the owner’s permission, causing suspicion that they were hiding something.
“The whole thing smells like cover,” the mad farmer burst out at the time, adding that “he sent rabbits all over the world and this has never happened before.”
United Airlines was subsequently sued by potential buyers of Simon in Iowa.
