Thank you.
The title was inspired by a documentary on rabbits. When the kits are born the doe builds an anti-chamber and disguises the entrance otherwise the buck will eat them. It's all rather Olympian.
As to your point about evil, I am entirely neutral - I believe the rabbit ended in a pie or a stew. I was trying to convey the sense of the rabbit being prepared, the process, particularly the sound of the skinning. Perhaps the value judgement comes from the establishment of the idyll at the beginning. Or the recognition that the rabbit dies due to the boredom, the boys have run out of games to play so one decides to shot something.
