About 45 years ago, while eating in the college dorm cafeteria, I
noticed the piece of "chicken" on my plate was a little tougher
and drier than most chicken, and the arrangement of the bones did
not appear to be consistent with any piece of chicken I had ever
seen. I had eaten rabbit a few years earlier, when my uncle was
raising them, so I started to suspect the "chicken" was really
rabbit. My suspicion was confirmed when I heard a girl shriek
rather unhappily from a couple of tables away, "We're eating
BUNNIES!"

How strange! How come they didn't just say that todays special was rabbit? Or maybe there was an error somewhere with the delivery and some boxed got mixed up?

People have childhood memories of Peter rabbit and Bambi.
So do I, but I still enjoy eating them. People are strange! Sometimes I do not understand them at all.
People as children get to associate words, images ideas with emotions.
So 'all snakes BAD!! RUN. Bambi CUTE - cuddle - don't eat.'
Then when - or if - they grow up, they replace them with more sophisticated and rational judgements.
