#1 Kind of like The Scottish Play. Rowan Atkinson did a very funny bit based on this in a episode of Black Adder. The Japanese have a similar thing about the number four.

#3 if one of these animals was seen in the area, the quarryman would pack up and go home for the day

#4 LOL.

How about ferrets and moles and prairie dogs? Are those not-to-be-spoken, as well?

Oooooooh, so skeery!

#5 "In the olden days when quarrying was done by hand, if one of these animals was seen in the area, the quarryman would pack up and go home for the day - until the safety of the area had been reconnoitred...

Seems to me that if the rabbits were whacked en masse by the locals, they wouldn't have to be worrying about excessive burrowing. I mean, it's not like they're endangered or something...

#6 Can't the Brits just switch fox hunting with wabbit hunting, if a dog can chase a coon then it can chase a wabbit.
But that makes to much sense, I guess.
Besides I dont know if Bugs will approve, Daffy sure will though
