The Idea


NORTH Korea has given a German pensioner a contract to supply the communist state with
giant rabbits to help boost meat production and ease the country's severe food shortages.
Mr Szmolinsky’s 12 rabbits, which are awaiting his arrival at a petting zoo in Pyongyang,
could produce 60 babies in a year.

The Outcome

BERLIN: A German farmer who sold 12 giant rabbits to North Korea with the aim of setting up a
breeding program to alleviate famine has said he was shocked to hear they were eaten at Kim
Jong-il's birthday banquet. "North Korea won't be getting any more rabbits from me, they don't
even need to bother asking," he told the magazine.
Der Spiegel reported that the 68-year-old breeder had been due to travel to North Korea to help
set up the farm, but had received a telephone call last week from an official cancelling the trip.

Among the rabbits sent to North Korea late last year was Robert, a monster who won a prize
as Germany's largest rabbit.
