Lovely Poem

[Jayruss 0]

Yesterday was so much fun:
We killed a bunny with a gun.
Actually, that isn't true...
We shot it, then we stabbed it, too!

To end its life, we pulled a knife,
And slit its little throat.
The girls all screamed, and little dreamed
How blood ran like a moat.

After Bunny breathed his last,
We hucked his head -- Oh, what a blast!
Behind a bush his head then landed
'Cause Charlie threw it over-handed.

It hit the ground; what joy I found
To watch it bounce and roll!
The tale related made girls frustrated
And shook them through the soul.

Unfazed, we went ahead with plans
To skin the bunny with our hands.
Its nice, soft fur we gently slit,
And peeled its skin right off of it.

We left its hide on the wall outside
And brought the carcass in.
With Bunny cooked, girls took a look
And cried out, "It's a sin!"

Then sat we down to eat our filling:
Bite after bite of our own killing.
But the situation turned quite gnarly
When tularemia killed poor Charlie.

When tularemia killed poor Charlie.

WTF is that? Some disease I understand, but what exactly?

Tularemia, a disease that can affect both animals and humans, is caused by a bacteria, Francisella tularemsis. Although many wild animals are infected, (hares, rabbits, squirrels, muskrats, beavers, deer), occasionally certain domestic animals can be infected (sheep and cats). The rabbit is the species most often involved in disease outbreaks. The bacteria can also be found in ticks and deerflies.
The common routes include: inoculation of the skin or mucous membranes with blood or tissue while handling, dressing or skinning infected animals; contact with fluids from infected flies or ticks; the bite of infected ticks; or handling or eating insufficiently cooked rabbit or hare meat. Rabbit meat can remain infective even after being frozen for several years.
Rubber gloves should be worn when skinning or handling animals, especially rabbits.
