Here in Spain they have to sell them with their heads
on to prove that they're not cats (there is a saying
vender gato por liebre - selling cat as if its hare -
meaning to be ripped off or conned, must have been a
common stunt to pull).

Actually, there's a health law in many US towns requiring that rabbits be
sold with a foot on, for the same reason- feet being more aesthetic to the
US consumer, I imagine ;-) I wouldn't, however, save and dry it for a good
luck token- it wasn't very lucky for the rabbit......
