Alternative theory : Due to a mistranslation, the Oannes, teachers of civilisation to primitive humanity, were in fact part rabbit. The humans thus declared rabbits sacred teachers of humanity and off-limits at lunchtime.
Edit : plus, hares are coprophages which might upset people.

# But you did just say it. You just put "resisting the temptation to say..." before it.
