Hunting and Not Hunting
If you want to hunt rabbits, it should not be over 20. You will also have to make sure that they not under populated. If you don't want to hunt rabbits that is good but bad in the same way. They will be over populated, and if they are over populated then you will probably have rabbits eating your vegetables in your garden. You will also have to stop in middle the road to let it cross. I think you can hunt but do not over hunt.
Human Impact
Human Impact to rabbits are when we hunt so many rabbits that in the ecosystem there will be a low number of rabbits and they will go some where else and in that place they will get over populated. You should not run over rabbits because that's when the species can get under populated.
