I'm guessing it's because cute rabbits get eaten less than non-cute rabbits, thus exerting selection pressure in favor of cuteness, which presumably is the same in all... something. Mammals?
Sounds a little strained to me, though.
The point is that cute is almost certainly a 2-place word.
Why would how humans feel towards rabbits effect how likely they are to be eaten by their rabbit parents?
It wouldn't. That's supposed to be a side effect.
