終於體會到曬太陽的美好。在美國有一對兔子從小到大都在實驗室裡度過，最近動保團體終於成功將唐娜（Donna）和費加羅（Figaro）救出，讓牠們第一次接觸大自然。從剛開始碰到草地的猶豫不決，到最後呼朋引伴跳來跳去，兔兔重獲自由的神情感動大批網友。

根據《The Dodo》報導，唐娜和費加羅一生都活在實驗室裡，被用來進行各種測試以及繁殖。動保組織「Save the Buns」表示，他們發現兩隻兔子表現得相當膽小，「在此之前從來沒有被當作個體善待」。

Rescue alert 🚨 Last month we welcomed home two former lab rabbits thanks to our friends at Save the Buns! Please meet our newest rescues, Donna and Figaro. They’ve gone through a long journey to get here. Save the Buns rescued these rabbits from an animal research lab where they were going to be killed. Fortunately Save the Buns was able to step in and rescue them. ❤️ When we agreed to take them, we knew they would need vet attention and short-term boarding while we prepared for them on-site. 🐇🐇 Their boarding and vet care costs prior to arriving here was around $1981. Will you help us cover the costs of their care bills? Please help us give these two a warm Woodstock welcome! 🙂 ❤️ Donate here or on Venmo at Woodstock-Sanctuary! Welcome to a long life of safety, security, and love Donna & Figaro! We are so grateful you’re here. #whywoodstock

唐娜和費加羅幸運被動保組織救出之後，後續被送到「Woodstock Farm Sanctuary」體驗前所未有的自然環境。兩隻兔子剛到新家顯得困惑又帶點恐懼，但逐漸開始適應了來自大自然的光線，以及各種實驗室沒有的風吹草動，開始勇敢踏出籠子探索各種新鮮的事物。

ICYMI: we welcomed two new buns to the sanctuary, rescued from a research lab! Watch Donna and Figaro exploring their new yard for the first time ❤️ Their journey home took time, money and planning, and we need your help covering their vet and boarding bills. Before arriving at the sanctuary, Donna and Figaro needed to see a vet. This was likely the first time they'd seen a vet, and we needed to ensure they were both healthy enough to be housed in the rabbit barn. We also had to provide short-term boarding for them while we prepared onsite. Rabbits are sensitive and social animals, and they can be very particular about their friendships. We boarded them with our friends at Reenies Rabbit Rescue to ensure they had a safe space to socialize and adjust while we prepared for them here. Please donate to their vet and boarding bills! 🐰 ❤️ For these little survivors, all the hard work is worth it -- look at Donna and Figaro exploring their yard! Even though Donna and Figaro are safe, we still have to catch up on the costs we incurred getting them here. 💌 Please give today, here or on Venmo at Woodstock-Sanctuary.

從其中一段影片中可以看到，當保護區管理員將籠子打開，先是費加羅把頭探出來，出來走了幾步便回頭尋找唐娜，就像是在邀請牠一起出來曬太陽在草地玩耍。最終唐娜和費加羅自由地在草地上到處探險，還認識了隔壁的兔子鄰居，重新開啟下一段美好的生活。
