Whole Foods selling rabbits as food

[LPC]

I searched on the net for a list of animals whose flesh has a different name:
cow = beef
calf (baby cow) = veal
pig = pork
sheep = mutton
deer = venison
baby pigeon less than 1 month old (!) = squab
goat = chevon
baby goat = kid
wild birds or rabbit = game
sweetmeats = various internal organs not normally eaten

There are more euphemisms, including rocky mountain oysters.....(not oysters; only look this up if you have a strong stomach!)

I suppose it is people's way of avoiding the animals' names or body parts.
