Spanish Bunnies Rescued from Slaughter
OneGreenPlanet reports on eight rabbits that had been rescued after spending their life being used for medical testing. From their post:
Covered in puncture wounds, tumors, and missing large chunks of fur across their little white bodies, the rabbits were absolutely petrified.
They had spent their entire lives living in hell. Born and raised at a breeding facility, they were confined to tiny cramped wire mesh cages, and kept in the pitch black. When ready they were shipped off to whatever testing facility needed them, and in this case it was a university.
The rabbits were to be sent for slaughter, but a local animal sanctuary rescued them and took them in. Here’s a video they posted, showing the bunnies’ first glimpse of freedom.
