A farmer appears backstage for a UK sketch in episode 421. He asks Fozzie if he can have the rabbits that have been following him around throughout the show. When Fozzie leaves them in his care, the farmer sings "Run Rabbit Run" and begins shooting at, and chasing the small creatures. He would prefer to capture them for a stew or pie, but when his aim proves to falter outside of his favor, he decides to settle for roast bear.
The Farmer from The Tale of the Bunny Picnic also had a taste for rabbit stew.
