James Kersh, an adorable bunny awaiting arraignment on money laundering charges, was caught by a hidden camera breaking the terms of his house arrest last Wednesday morning. The footage, released yesterday to The Daily Bunny, confirms what law enforcement officials have long suspected – this rabbit is indeed a flight risk.
A court date is scheduled to reevaluate the terms of Kersh’s confinement as he awaits trial.

The highly anticipated airing of Puppy Bowl VIII will have a few bonuses in store for longtime fans. In addition to piles of adorable puppies tussling about, the game will feature a squad of piglet cheerleaders and a bird named Meep who will live-tweet all of the action from his BlackBerry.
Yes, a BlackBerry.
The Puppy Bowl airs “live” this Sunday, February 5th at 3 p.m. on Animal Planet.
According to emails obtained by The Fluffington Post, Michael Nuñez, a reporter for the International Business Times, has employed cat visual effects specialists Kittywood Studios to create faked cat meme videos. According to the emails, which have been verified by an independent digital forensics team, Nuñez hired Kittywood at least twice since November of 2011.
It is unclear whether the falsified cat meme videos were used in any of Nuñez’s reporting for IBT. His editors declined to comment for this story.
In the past week, Nuñez has published a series of reports wrongly accusing this news organization of spreading disinformation and exploiting underage animals.
An excerpt from the emails obtained by The Fluffington Post is below.
Budgie the Parakeet (of the Cambridge Budgies) thought it might be funny to post a video of himself on YouTube playing around with his piles of trust fund money.
Since the video was uploaded on February 1st, it has received substantial blowback from numerous online communities, as well as supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Sheepdog Workers of America (Local 52) has filed grievances against several farms for firing experienced herding dogs and replacing them with young, underpaid bunnies – some of whom may be undocumented.
“This rampant cost-cutting will only lead to more lost sheep,” the February 1st memo notes.
One of the farmers in question, Philip McDonald of Dixie, ID, refutes the union’s claims, citing his farm’s fair hiring practices. “The bunnies are faster and more efficient. They keep the sheep in line,” Old McDonald tells The Fluffington Post. “Why wouldn’t you want to hire the best animal for the job?”
