Previously, when you pushing a rabbit, their animations wouldn't play (since their animations are not designed for it), this is not the case on the new animations, as their animations would play every time you push them, this also does not match Java Edition.
Step to reproduce:
Summon a rabbit
Give yourself a carrot
Push them
Expected results:
Rabbit does not play their animations.
Observed results:
Rabbit plays their animations.
