Rabbits have been hunted since the beginning of their existance. Rabbits are considered a 'prey species'. Herbivores by nature, fecund in their breeding, they are a viable source of protein for many species of predators, not the least, mankind. Rabbits have been hunted for as long as there have been creatures who eat meat, and there's been rabbits to be eaten.
