Actually, for a practicing Jew the rabbit would be unkosher anyway. From the 
Jewish Dietary Laws Site: " Animals that may not be eaten Of the "beasts of 
the earth" (which basically refers to land mammals with the exception of 
swarming rodents), you may eat any animal that has cloven hooves and chews 
its cud. Lev. 11:3; Deut. 14:6. Any land mammal that does not have both of 
these qualities is forbidden. The Torah specifies that the camel, the rock 
badger, the hare and the pig are not kosher because each lacks one of these 
two qualifications. Sheep, cattle, goats and deer are kosher. " So any 
"psychic agony" should be null. Perhaps you were thinking of another 
religious group?

I DO agree that listing ingredients is important, after getting a dose of 
shrimp and needing a benidryl chaser several times... once in an SCA feast, 
one tends to want to know what one is eating.

BTW, the site can be found at : http://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm#Animals
