Bunny Breeder: Kim Jong-il ate my Rabbits

BERLIN (UPI) – A German breeder of giant rabbits said he believes the animals he sold to begin a breeding program in North Korea were killed and eaten by officials.

Karl Szmolinsky sold 12 giant rabbits to Pyongyang to help the country start a breeding program to alleviate food shortages, The Times of London reported Thursday.

Szmolinsky said after he was contacted by a North Korean official who said that his trip to the country to provide advice on setting up a rabbit farm has been cancelled and that he believes the animals were killed and eaten at a birthday banquet for North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
