    Pigs were called, (don't know the spelling) Chackies amongst the fishermen where I lived, also rats were never called that but Longtails.

    I didn't read anything in the article about rabbits. I used to hear that a ship would not sail if two rabbits had been tied to a mast. Something akin to sabotage from other trawlers.

    Then you didn't read the article then
    Rabbits are mentioned, although relating to Grimsby fishermen
