In 1807, hundreds of domestic rabbits intended for hunting attacked
Napoleon, thinking he was going to feed them.

Strange things can happen during wartime. In his book Blundering to Glory:
Napoleon's Military Campaigns, author Owen Connelly tells the story of how
Napoleon Bonaparte, out on a rabbit hunt, was charged by the furry
critters. The rabbits had been brought in to ensure Bonaparte and his
companions would have a high kill rate, but they mistook Bonaparte for
their keeper and swarmed him, looking for food. Although the populace in
1807 howled with laughter over the incident, Bonaparte was not amused.
