In July 1807, the French Empire signed a document, deemed, “The Treaties of Tilsit''. This would end the war between France and Imperial Russia. To celebrate, Bonaparte made one of his men, Berthier, chief of staff, arrange a simulated hunt. He rounded up bunnies, a whole colony and placed them in cages.
People believe the estimated number of rodents was from five-hundred to three-thousand five-hundred. The rest of the men were already ready. Gun Wielders, Horse Riders, and maybe even Artillery units were present. The terrain was a grassy hill zone, making it easy for the military to “remove” the bunnies from the premises.
The bunnies were released-- but instead of flight, they chose to fight. They bounded directly at them, no fear, no drought, but drive. The men had a good laugh or two, but it soon came to a concerning stop. Humans, the world's most dangerous continental army that destroyed most of the European countries and invaded 40% of Africa, was being “Ratio-ed” by literal rabbits.
People started to fight back, whips, swords, blunt, whatever. Napoleon was beckoned to retreat back to his carriage, but, ironically, the rabbits used the divide strategy that the Napoleonic army used… they covered the carriage and kept siege on the frontline at the same time. Fyi, Bunnies and Rabbits have an average of 7 IQ, Bonaparte had 145 IQ, for reference, the average High School graduate has an IQ of 100.
The coach was cleared of rodents at some point, but was damaged beyond repair-- luckly still usable. The onslaught ceased as soon as the men had escaped or, well, lost about 6 feet in height that day.
Napoleon almost didn’t leave with his life that day, and he was “dominating” Europe.
Ok, Here’s the catch, Berthier retrieved BarnYard Bunnies, not wild hares. To the bunnies, Napoleon wasn’t a threat, what-so-ever! They were used to human contact. As read above, you can see why this was a mistake.
