Scott and the City

Peter Rabbit and Scott, happy together - Image from The Horse

The most famous rabbit in the news currently is a horse. Peter Rabbit the 32 year old horse made headlines when his owner refused to remove him from his home following a ban on keeping livestock within city limits. Harley Scott, Peter Rabbit's 76 year old owner, has raised the horse from the time he was born in his pasture in 1976, in the city of Hickman, Nebraska. Thirty days back the city council members notified Scott that the horse was being kept within city limits against municipal code and that he had to go. But he remains grazing stolidly in his pasture oblivious of the controversy he has created around the world. The city of Hickman is overwhelmed with emails and phone calls from horse lovers asking the officials to allow Peter Rabbit to be in his home. But the city refuses to budge. It has been an ongoing battle between Scott and the city officials since the past couple of years and the latest deadline they had given him is September 15th. Since Peter Rabbit is very much at home even today, the officials have decided to send citations to Scott where he will have to pay $100 everyday, which he has promised. My email in poor Peter's support is on its way!
