What about rabbit skin glue?

Many years ago (about 35), I was to taught to size canvas with rabbit skin glue, then gesso. So of course I bought the glue when I was purchasing my original supplies. Now, I've seen no mention of it and surprisingly little info in searches on the internet. When I asked for it at the art supply store I was looked at with puzzlement, amazement, and outright horror. When I finally found some, I was asked by the clerk what it was used for. What happened?

Now a question for anyone who might know. Can I use this to glue canvas or linen to a board?
