Police in Amherst, N.Y., proposed drug-sniffing bunnies as an April Fool’s joke on their Facebook page in 2016.

When asked about drugs at a Phoenixville mayoral forum, Republican nominee Dave Gautreau proposed that, if elected, he would look into getting drug-sniffing bunnies for the borough police department.

Though it seems like a harebrained idea, Gautreau was as serious as the killer rabbit of Caerbannog.

“I was dead-serious,” he said of the idea he presented at the Thursday forum. “I would not make a joke about a rabbit if I did not believe it to be true.”

Residents wary of the proposal did what the candidate did not do: They hopped on the internet.

A quick search clearly reveals the joke. The fuzz at the police department in Amherst, N.Y., proposed narcotics rabbits on their Facebook page as an April Fool’s joke in 2016 and a satire page called People of Lancaster posted a fake article about Lancaster police getting drug-sniffing bunnies in March 2016.

“I’m really hoping this gets him laughed right off the ballot,” local banjo player Tom Dieffenbach wrote on Facebook. “I found some compelling articles in Mad magazine that I’m gonna send his way.”

The musician has it right...time to thin out the gullible candidates.

Regarding rabbits in general, I like the posts in the thread.

And when the bunny found the weed nature kicked in and things got WEIRD

And a scene from one of the movies of Monty Python series.
