Lovely shot of the Rabbit, good detail and DOF and you've captured a nice expression. But did you get your seasons muddled?

Not at all, thanks to global warming we no longer have any seasons.

Anyway, that is besides the point...did you donate a tenner to the project?... or are you some kinda xmas grinch?...

Sorted; very happy to support the project, but exactly what special qualities does this Rabbit have that makes him a hostage to care about?
Tim

ha ha... i guess some people may believe this bunny is cute, personally I'm more interested in the taste of it all.

well done for supporting the project tigertimb : )

Best wishes to you
Steve

p.s...remember a rabbit isn't just for xmas; it also needs to fill the boxing day sandwiches.

So how many votes before he's saved, and then are you going to kill an innocent turkey like the rest of us?
Tim

well, looking at the mathmatics of it all...

The Santago Rare Leopard Project need to raise over £7000 before 31st December 2007...

therefore £10 x 700 votes = £7k

simple eh!

um, technically somebody else will be killing the turkey. I couldn't even smack a mackerel on the head this summer - it was staring at me so i put it back in the sea (seriously!).

I'm beginning to believe we might have been able to call your bluff with the rabbit.
Tim

don't get me wrong - this particular rabbit has grown quite a bit since i took the photo...plenty enough for the whole family...

ok, i may feel sorry for fish but cute bunnies deserve to be eaten

Dave...good on ya for supporting the project
& best wishes to you for 2008

Steve

Sweet pic - good luck with your fund. I'm broke so I haven't donated anything I'm afraid.

Ok Sandy, no problem, i'm always broke! - if you could mention the project to others it would be really helpful.

Would you like me to post some of the rabbit to you?
; )
Best wishes
Steve

Would prefer some turkey to be honest Wink

Bon appetit by the way...

happy to help Smile

hmmmm, I'm starting to think bunny may be in with a slim chance here
Then again, there is still a long way to go before the £7000 target is met... I quite like the sound of 'bunny nut roast' - thanks for the suggestion...

: ) well done Kevin

I've never been there either, would definitely like to though. I'll try to find out how much has been raised and post it here...

In the mean time if we could all do our bit to get others to donate a tenner it'll make a real difference...

otherwise... 'BUNNY IN MY TUMMY'!

So how near are you to your goal?

and what will happen with the donations if you dont reach the goal?

Pete (ephotozine staff) "I've just done a running total - £95 has been raised from 10 donations through the shop and £90 from nine donations through Paypal. The chance of 700 giving £10 is looking quite slim at the moment"

"I've put the date forward on the news story so it's on the home page and at the top of the list.
I don't want to get this into a forcing people to donate route. We do not usually support or assist charities as it leads to all sorts of complications. This was an exception to the rule because many members are closely connected with the project, and we have a few key members who thought we needed to do something and also the project has been an advertiser."

Hope that answers a few questions...looks like bunny is in serious danger!...
Thanks for everyones support so far
x steve

You'd be 'hopping mad' to eat this bunny - much too skinny - fatten him up for Easter. £20 from me. Hope the leopards get enough cash.
