- Killed moving rabbit" reads a headline on Yahoo's homepage this morning April 10, 2013. I figured the man must have been a preety good shot to kill a moving rabbit which is what the headline leads on to believe. I was curious as to what he used to kill the rabbit with. If he used a slingshot then hitting the rabbit was just awesome. However, if he ran over it with his car, then it was lucky but a bit too messy to make use of the rabbit. Shooting it with a bow and arrow would have been a good trick but using a shotgun at close range would have been worse that running over it with his car. Using a pistol or rifle might have been a little too dangerous if there were homes in the area.
- So out of curiousity I read the article. It turns out the rabbit wasn't moving nor did the man kill it. The story was nothing like the headline. What actually happened was a rabbit was in the road and a man stopped to move it. While being a good person, I suppose, someone else hit the man with their car killing the good samaritan. I was thinking how disappointed I was over such a misleading headline. Now if the headline has said "Man killed while moving rabbit" it would have been true to the story and I would have known before reading the article what it was about.
- What is really sad to say is this kind of stupidity is common today and speaks volumes about the poor state of education in America today.
