CHICAGO: Simon, a giant bunny on his way to becoming the world's biggest rabbit, was found dead in the cargo hold of a United Airlines plane earlier this week. The 90cm-long continental giant rabbit, aged 10 months, was travelling from London's Heathrow to the O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, media reports said. Simon was reportedly the son of Darius, the world's largest rabbit at 1.3m long. "The safety and well-being of all the animals that travel with us is of the utmost importance to United Airlines and our PetSafe team," it added. The latest incident caps a torrid few weeks for United, who has faced global backlash over its handling of the case involving Dr Dao.
