If you're growing what you need to survive, rabbits are nasty pests and threaten your livelihood. So, you trap/kill them - and why not use what you can?

For larger "farm" animals, consider their use as a beast of burden. Horses, mules, oxen, and such are all extraordinarily useful - so they tend not to be eaten.
