My first response to the original post was 'Oh my god!' because a domesticated bunny in the wild is just so much meat for the taking. Plus, the bun doesn't know the habitat, doesn't know where food and water are. Would you, if released in somewhere you've never been before?
I would never, ever release a domesticated bunny in the wild and consider the guy got away easy. If you're not going to take care of an animal properly, including finding a proper home for it if you can no longer care for it, then you shouldn't have animals.
