When I was a young child (about 12), i discovered that the farm near my parents house were selling 'oven ready rabbits' :-(
So, i took it upon myself to find the rabbits and set them free. One winter evening after school, I crept into the farmyard from the neighboring churchyard, had a look around all the barns and found the one the rabbits were kept in. There were loads and loads of them...I undid all the cages and placed the bunnies on the floor in the yard hoping they would run away, but they didn't they just kinda sat around or hopped just a few yards. Some even ran back into the barn where their cages were :-(
In the end it was I who had to leg it as the farm dog started creating and the farmer came to investigate.
I thought I had got away with it until the next day when the farmer came round to see my parents and tell them of my little exploit. My mum (god bless her) told the farmer that I was indoors at the time, so it couldn't possibly have been me! 8) I think my mother was thinking about any possible compensation she may have been liable for!
I did get punished though, but better to receive punishment from my mum and dad than an angry farmer.
