A German once sent a dozen giant rabbits to North Korea in order to kick start a giant rabbit breeding program there. The intent was to help them overcome a famine, but instead the rabbits were all eaten at Kim il Sung’s birthday party.
There’s a few animals I was surprised to find out some find weird to eat: rabbit, horse, reindeer. I was especially surprised by rabbit. It’s such a commonly hunted animal too.
There was some speculation that humans are good at throwing rocks specifically for hunting rabbits before tool development. The sling made it even easier.
Why is the fact that they were/are food so bad? People eat rabbit too.
Giant rabbits seem like an economic alternative to larger animals.

Look up “rabbit starvation” some time. Rabbit’s fine but you have to be sure your diet is diverse enough.
