It’s the cute factor. You aren’t allowed to eat cute animals. Same reason you have dolphin-safe tuna, but not tuna-safe dolphin. Same reason you can’t sit down to steaming hot plate of braised baby kittens, but you can eat pig butt all day long. Bunnies are cute.
There are some of us here who don't eat steaming hot plates of braised baby kittens?

You can’t eat braised baby kittens? Hmm.. Don’t let China Bowl #3 hear that. They will have to change the menu....again.
