United Airlines sued by owners of giant rabbit found dead after flight
The owners of a giant rabbit named Simon who died on a United Airlines flight while bound for the Iowa State Fair sued the carrier Monday, claiming its employees were responsible for the hare's death. The lawsuit was filed in Des Moines on behalf of a group of investors which purchased Simon, the offspring of the "world's largest rabbit," in hopes that he would ultimately surpass his father in size to hold that title and raise money as an exhibit at the fair. Simon, who was less than a year old and already 3 feet long, was being flown from his hometown in the UK to Kansas City in early April when was found dead in a kennel during a layover in Chicago. "We were saddened by Simon's death in April. We have received this complaint and are currently reviewing it," United Airlines said. <br/>
