Rabbits in France

Since being in Paris, there is a sign on the metro doors that always fascinates me when I see it:

As the image illustrates, there is a rabbit, wearing what can only be described as a nice set of yellow pajamas, without shoes, and getting its hands (paws?) caught in the door. Now, the purpose of this illustration is to alert passengers of the dangers of putting your hand in the door when the door is closing.

However, I find that the message and image don't totally coalesce. Honestly, I'm more concerned with the fact that there is a rabbit on the metro in the first place. Second of all, who gave this rabbit clothes and taught it how to walk? It looks like some sort of escape victim, as it was obviously in too much of a hurry to put on shoes, but somehow managed to have enough time to wear a matching outfit. It looks all discombobulated. I mean, getting its hand stuck in the doors of the metro is really the least of its problems.
