    From the News of the World...
    In a bizarre act of madness, Tony - a 25 year old rabbit who recently found himself unemployed & homeless due to the downturn in the economy - threw a man into the River Liffey in Dublin today, shortly after tea time.

    The man was pulled unharmed from the river by emergency services after onlookers contacted them. Shortly afterwards, the rabbit - who remains as yet unnamed - was arrested by Gardai.

    When asked to comment on the plight of the rabbit after his arrest, the man replied, "Good widdence to bad wubbish."

    This is slander, I'll report you by leaving myself a voicemail. It's the only way I can be sure they'll get the message.

    My mate works on O Ocnnell bridge, was there today and this guy came up to us, said he was from an animal charity and he was looking for the homeless fella. They want to make a big deal of him, get press involved and give him a Compassion towards animals award.
    The homeless guy wasnt there,, but yer man said he come back after 6 to look again for him.

    Made my day, glad the homeless guy will get a bit of Civic Appreciation

    Sure he's famous now, he could get a house out of this. Who ever threw the rabbit in probably did him a massive favour with all the publicity

    I admire the courage of the man who risked his life to save the rabbit. I don't have the same admiration for the pimply faced little farts who sneer at him on Boards.ie.

    http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/man-charged-after-pet-thrown-into-river-liffey-513592.html
    Charges against a 19-year-old have been brought to court after a homeless man's pet rabbit was thrown into the River Liffey.

    Barney's owner John Patrick Byrne has become something of a hero after he jumped in to rescue his pet.

    Mr Byrne said that he was sitting on O'Connell Bridge when a youth grabbed his pet rabbit Barney by the ears and flung him into the Liffey.

    The 38-year-old immediately braved the river to rescue Barney. Both were subsequently rescued by Dublin Fire Brigade.

    A 19-year-old Gary Kearney of Conyngham Road in Dublin has been charged under the Protection of Animals Act and with breaching the peace on July 3.

    His case came before the District Court for the first time today and was put back for a week by Judge David McHugh.

    Mr Byrne recently receives the ARAN compassion award for rescuing the animal.
