This is just.... sad.
World's clumsiest cameraman steps on rare earless baby bunny and
kills it 
An earless baby bunny that was a rising star on Germany's
celebrity animal scene had his 15 minutes of fame brought to an
abrupt end when he was accidentally stepped on by a television
cameraman.
The fate of 17-day-old Til, a rabbit with a genetic defect, was
plastered across German newspapers on Thursday, the same day a
small zoo in Saxony was to have presented him to the world at a
press conference.
The cameraman told Bild newspaper
he had not seen Til, who had buried himself in hay, when he took
the fateful step backwards on Wednesday.
Zoo director Uwe Dempewolf told Spiegel magazine that Til did
not suffer. "We are all shocked. During the filming, the cameraman
took a step back and trod on the bunny.
"He was immediately dead, he didn't suffer. It was a direct hit.
No one could have foreseen this. Everyone here is upset. The
cameraman was distraught."
Spiegel Online reported that the rabbit's body would be frozen
while zoo officials decided if it would be stuffed. Germany has
been home to several global animal celebrities in recent years,
including polar bear Knut and Paul the prognosticating
octopus.
