Wow … I don’t know how true this is, but it’s bizarre (thanks Trudy). SaveToby.com has been set up by a (seemingly) anonymous author who will reportedly cook and eat his pet Rabbit Toby unless $50,000 USD is donated through the site. Another site, KillToby.com is reportedly trying to raise $55,000 USD to pay Toby’s owner to go through with his plan.
If this is legit, I’m thinking both sites are linked, and either way, are well on their way to make some money. Already over $15,000 has been made (on SaveToby.com), and there is merchandise for sale as well.
Hmmmmm … whatever happened to an honest living?
Update: I checked out Snopes.com. Those that know the site, will know that Snopes specializes in sniffing out Internet hoaxes. And, it appears that SaveToby, as suspected, is a hoax. However, the money is being collected to buy SaveToby gear. Still, quite the business.
P.T. Barnum would be proud.
Sounds like some professional hockey players have too much time on their hands, and are running out of money.
I think this guy is a genious. An evil genious, but who cares? If it is true or not, I don’t care because he has got 17,000 dollars by doing nothing and isn’t that the american way?
Definatly these sites have to be linked, I am a super shopper and the “products” are the same style and type of clothing…interesting

Here is another site to take a look at…
http://www.killtobysowner.com
They only want $10,000 to take out the owner.
Probably the best value.
