Strangely enough, keeping rabbits is illegal in the state of Queensland, Australia, due to the threat they pose to the local flora and fauna. When investigators showed up at one family’s home to look into a different matter, they found a bunny. In an attempt to keep their pet, the owners claimed he was a guinea pig. He was certainly not a guinea pig, and while they haven’t been arrested yet, they could face charges.
