THERE'S NO BAD REASON TO BURN WITCHES:

Serial rabbit killer uses Google maps to find victims (Roger Boyes, 7/09/08, Times of London)

The roll call of victims is growing longer by the day. They have names like Rocco, Fussel, Marianne and Fluffy — and a special five-man police unit has a file on each and every one of the unfortunate animals.

The so-called Bunny Murders — 40 domestic rabbits killed at night in their hutches, heads and sometimes paws sliced off, their bodies drained of blood — is stunning communities across western Germany.

"Nobody knows where the killer will strike next," says Inspector Volker Schuette, who is a member of the investigation team.

One theory is that a group of Satanists is behind the wave of killings since there is an almost ritualistic pattern.
