It's best if you read this whilst playing Bright Eyes for the full effect; the 92-year-old author of Watership Down has lost his battle to protect the rabbit warrens that inspired the book from being plough into by dirty capitalist bulldozers. It's life imitating art - and by 'Art' we mean Mr Garfunkel singing about bunny eyes going deathly pale :(

As we learnt in Key Stage 5 English class/Wikipedia, Watership Down is a 'metaphor for modern times, over crowded cities and what happens to the apathetic masses when a dark leader comes to power', so the fact that the tale has now quite literally come true can be entirely blamed on David Cameron. You've got blood on your hands, Cameron. Fiver, Hazel and Blackberry's blood.

Richard Adams, who wrote Watership Down, has lost his battle against plans to build nearly 2000 homes on the rural spot that inspired the book. West Berkshire councillors have voted against Adams, meaning bulldozers will be allowed on to the hillside at Sandleford Park to kill all the little bunnies. Bunnies that already dodged the Mukluk craze of the noughties :(

And because we'd like to acknowledge that Holy Moly is a celebrity gossip website rather than small child crying in their bedroom after learning that the local butchers has bunny carcasses hanging in the window, here's a picture of Kate Moss wearing rabbits on her feet.
