Louise Acheson watched it bounding across the parking lot.
Then, she manage to snapped the image. A bunny with a cigarette dangling from its mouth.
Aesop likely couldn’t have conjured it any more bizarre. But this is no Alice in Wonderland. It is the Dublin Airport.
In things I never expect, a hare with a cigarette in its mouth just ran past me @DublinAirport! Duty free? #cigharette #nothingtodeclhare pic.twitter.com/LqvHwX131T

Jokes bred like bunnies after the sighting.
@ach0 @TheKavOfficial @DublinAirport Hmmm. I’ve heard that smoking can lead to hare loss.

@ach0 @DublinAirport I don’t blame the rabbit, I blame his role models. pic.twitter.com/SyRTcAYkN9

Moral of the story? Don’t litter.
Or maybe not. (But still, don’t litter.)
The Dublin Airport refused to believe what she saw.
Tweeting that it wasn’t a cigarette at all.
Sorry to spoil all the online jokes, but don’t think that hare has a cigarette in its mouth. It’s more likely an overgrown tooth. https://t.co/QyoQnyRRkt
