| Wayne Brackett was caught on surveillance tape trying to burglarize the company, then resorting to mutilating rabbits |
The 6-year-old daughter of the owners was raising 17 rabbits on the site. After his aborted truck burglary, Brackett headed to their coop, where he began to stab, skin and mutilate the bunnies.
He stomped a baby bunny to death. He cut off another's ears and tail and left it hanging from a chain. All told, five were killed, portions of their bodies strewn across the lot. Nine managed to escape and three survived.
Brackett was caught after someone ID'd him from surveillance video released by police following the crime.
His father can't believe his son would behave so violently, but he also says Wayne had been sullen and turned to alcohol after the death of his sister from lung cancer.
Police, meanwhile, don't seem to give a shit about that excuse. Brackett has been charged with five counts of animal cruelty, five counts of malicious killing of an animal, one count of breaking and entering and one count of malicious destruction of property.
