Decapitated rabbit - "natural" or human?

[kick-ass-bob]

I saw a decapped rabbit in one of my neighbors yard with the head about a foot away. Everything was intact looking, and I didn't really see any blood anywhere, but I didn't look closely either - does this sound like the work of an animal or a neighborhood kid? I can't think of why an animal would do that and just leave it.

That was pretty sad - I'd hate to be the guy with it in his yard (hope he doesn't have young kids).

1. My money's on harassment.

Any "unpatriotic" lawn signs there mayhaps?

2. Not that I recall.

I don't remember seeing any signs at all there during the elections, and the rabbit was very recent.

3. When I was a wee little mo

I had a cat that would bring me jackrabbit heads. I guess since she was about half the size of a full grown jackrabbit, the head was easier to carry.

4. Natural

I have 2 Jack Russell Terriers. One day they found a warren of rabbits, including the mother and maybe 4-5 baby rabbits. There were limbs and heads everywhere, but almost no blood. My guess is that a dog or cat got the rabbit.

Sorry you had to see that.

5. tis a cat

i assure you. anyone with outdoor cats can tell you that headless, non bloody rabbits become a standard lawn ornament

6. well

having had cats my whole whole life, I have seen my share of decapitated rodents

But if it was clean and there was no blood---probably a sicko. Jeffery Dahmer and many other serial killers got their start mutilating animals
