Would this be a story if it was a different airline?

First, that rabbit's dynamite huge.

Second, would we have heard about this if it was British Airways or Air Canada that operated the aircraft? it seems to me that United's getting a lot of flack lately (not undeservedly, mind you).

Probably we would have, not as big a story but still one that would get some bad PR for whichever airline; people love animals.

This was definitely lop-sided coverage.  If it weren't for the earlier story, we wouldn't have heard hide nor hare of it.
