Those were rabbits with some kahones. Normally they will not do such things unless they are cornered and really have no other choice but to fight.
I like the rabbit mentality. You tend to keep to yourself, always alert to what’s going on around you, trying to live and let live, and if trouble comes your way first try to get the hell out of there, and if that isn’t possible, you fight like hell and make sure the other guy won’t ever do that to you or another one again.
