A petition calling for the sacking of the cruel Danish p.o.s who bludgeoned a defenceless 9 week old baby bunny to death on-air on radio24syv is growing and has now reached nearly 25000 signatures in 2 days.

Asger Juhl obtained the baby from a pet shop, then to make some spurious point about animal welfare, after petting it and reassuring it, he killed it with a bicycle pump despite the protestations of other presenters. Worse still, he took the tiny little corpse home, skinned it and fed it to his young kids.

If it had been a 'meat market' animal and had been killed humanely by a qualified person, that would have been one thing. But for an incompetent idiot to batter to death an animal bred as a pet is quite another.


The station manager Jørgen Ramskov has had the effrontery to stand by cruel Juhl - despite the outrage expressed by so many people. I don't know whether there's a Danish equivalent of the RSPCA, but if there is, why aren't they prosecuting this sick, sadistic individual?

Anyone wishing to sign may do so at https://www.change.org/p/fire-radio-presenter-asge...

Questions can be put to Juhl via his e-mail address indicated on the station's contact list at: http://www.radio24syv.dk/dig-og-radio24syv/kontakt...

Thanks to those who've signed and I hope more will do so.

At 9 weeks, a bunny will only just have been weaned and would have been wanting to bond with anyone who it met after having left its mother. What was particularly awful was to see that vile person Juhl petting it and stroking it to make it feel reassured, yet a few minutes later he bludgeoned it to death in such a clumsy manner, no doubt causing it suffering and pain.

I haven't seen any further news about what the radio station intends to do about this despicable event, but they sound such an arrogant bunch that they will probably do nothing, hoping that the fuss will die down soon.

Let's make sure it doesn't!

Cruel Juhl was talking out of his ar$e about hypocrisy. Those of us who are carnivores know full well that meat for human consumption comes from animals. BUT those animals are slaughtered by qualified, properly licensed slaughtermen according to strict standards - even in Denmark.

Vegans have their own view, which is perfectly understandable. Surely they see the difference between licensed production of meat, albeit distasteful to their beliefs, and sending a junior out to a pet shop to buy an innocent baby rabbit intended to become a pet, then brutally and incompetently killing it on air. That was vile, cheap sensationalism, nothing more - and the defenceless little bunny, barely weaned, was the innocent victim of this cruel event.

There is rather a difference between a 'baby pig' bred purely for the purpose of food and a 'fluffy wuffy lickle bunny' bred to become a domestic pet.

The pig would have been killed humanely, not beaten to death live on air as part of a cheap radio stunt.

Plenty of rabbits aren't though. They are snared, shot, ferreted and even hunted using birds of prey.
Those are wild rabbits, not domestic pets. Neither would they have been killed live on air....

There is no comedy in this, grumbledoak.

It will be a massacre that will make one bludgeoned rabbit pale into insignificance. Still, no one will care as long as it was done humanely.
Those lambs will be slaughtered by competent, licensed workers and not by an incompetent, attention-seeking radio presenter live on air.

Still, it seems that 28551 other people at least share my views and have signed the petition.

Apart from the 'meat is murder' brigade, society in general has accepted the need for meat intended for human consumption to be produced humanely.

Which doesn't include a couple of Danish radio presenters beating a baby domestic rabbit to death live on air. But if you can't see the difference, then so be it...

Quite irrelevant. Beating a defenceless baby rabbit to death live on air for whatever sick reason is entirely unacceptable. Particularly after buying it from a pet shop, showing it some affection to relieve the stress it would have felt at being away from its familiar environment, then clumsily bludgeoning it three time with a bicycle pump before wringing its neck. Quite sickening.

Over 32000 people have now called for cruel Juhl and Jorgen Ramskov to be sacked - and quite rightly so too.
