Rabbit “accused”: who pays for the neighbor’s trees?

It's not just the cherries that taste better in the neighbor's garden, apparently the grass does too. Three dwarf rabbits escaped from their owners, two children, and slipped through the fence. The outing has expensive repercussions in court: the munchkins are said to have six fruit trees on their conscience.

Two children in Klagenfurt are in despair: Their rabbits are to blame for breaking the fruit trees on a neighbor's property, it is claimed - and that their dad should pay a lot of money for it because they didn't take better care of their pets. The curious case at the district court is now being heard in several instances.
