April 28, 2017: More problems for United — Simon, the soon-to-be-crowned “world’s largest bunny” expired on a flight from London to Chicago — the 3 foot plus bunny was given a clean bill of health prior to leaving Heathrow for the US but was not so lucky when the flight arrived and his plush cage removed from the plane’s cargo area. The 10 month old bunny, already in position to be noted in the Guinness Book of World Records, was headed for his new home and owner in the US. Pet lovers and bunnies worldwide are irate and “thumping” United for an explanation.
