Little Cabin in the Woods

My mother and I sang this song when I was a very young child:

In a cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Frightened as can be
"Help me, help me, help", he said
Or the hunter will shoot me dead
Little rabbit come inside
Safely you'll abide

I've never known a time in my life when I wasn't fiercely protective of animals. Even in high school, I remember terrible arguments with country boys who would go hunting for fun. I can't imagine not being vegan now. What I can't understand is why it took so long.
