Napoleon Bonaparte's Chief of Staff Alexandre Berthier collected hundreds of rabbits for a rabbit hunt that Napoleon wanted to hold after he signed the Treaties of Tilsit. Which ended the war between the French Empire and Imperial Russia. When the rabbits were released from their cages they didn't run away, instead they swarmed Napoleon and his guests, in a fluffy stampede.

After it was realized they were outnumbered and couldn't do much against the rabbit army Napoleon retreated fled to his carriage. But the attack didn't stop. The attack ceased only as the coach rolled away. Napoleon was no match for a battle with bunnies. It was Berthier's fault. Rather than trapping them wild, his men had bought tame rabbits from local farmers. As a result, the rabbits didn't see Napoleon as a fearsome hunter.
