I don’t know why the weapons were taken away from rabbits at the end of the Middle Ages.
I don’t even know why they were given weapons to begin with.
But that is a great image of a flying kick.
For reference:
The British Library describes manuscripts from the 14th century showing rabbits hunting and fighting hounds, a reversal of their typical predator-prey relationship.
The imagery plays on the idea of the “world turned upside down” and represents “bunny vengeance,” amusing medieval artists who understood the real-life danger rabbits faced.
Ah. Medieval satire in picture form.
Hilarious stuff.
