When the Berlin Wall went up it trapped thousands of rabbits between the two walls comprising it. For 28 years they enjoyed a protected existence, without dogs or predators and with plenty of food, in a wide belt of land surrounding the city. When the wall came down, rabbits flooded Berlin and were shot and cooked by the residents to the point where no one ever wanted to think about eating rabbit again. Until then it was a rabbit paradise.
A beautiful political satire of this event, told from the rabbit's perspective, was filmed in 2010, Rabbit a la Berlin, which is available on Amazon Prime.

When I think of “tame” rabbits all I can think of is the scene from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”
“That rabbit is dynamite”

Years ago I read Harrison Salisbury’s excellent ‘’The 900 Days; The Siege of Leningrad’’.
Talk about harrowing. When we’ve eaten all the dogs and cats
and then when we start eating each other, as Leningraders eventually did then we’re REALLY in trouble!

What’s really sad is after the War, Stalin had most of the Leningrad Leadership during the Siege killed. He treated anyone from Leningrad with suspicion.
