Rabbits (General; Miscellaneous)

Rabbits overrun suburb.

A suburb in the US state of Florida is having to deal with a growing group of domestic rabbits on its streets after a breeder illegally let them loose.

Between 60 and 100 lionhead rabbits have taken up residence in the yards of the suburban Fort Lauderdale community of Jenada Isles in Wilton Manors.

The lionheads have a thick fur and fearless nature, making them unsuited for life outside among Florida’s heat and predators.

Residents are trying to raise 20,000 to 40,000 dollars (£15,270 to £30,550) needed to rescue the animals and get them into homes.

The city of Wilton Manors has agreed to give the residents of Jenada Isles more time after first saying the rabbits would have to be exterminated.

Resident Alice Griggs is spearheading efforts to raise the funds for a rescue group to capture, neuter, vaccinate, shelter and then give away the estimated 60 to 100 lionheads now populating the 81-home community in Wilton Manors.

They are descendants of a group a backyard breeder illegally let loose when she moved away two years ago.

Surely, the backyard breeder who released the Rabbits should be made to foot the recapturing bill though - such irresponsibility calls for that much?

Two boxes of .22 ammunition: Defray the expense by selling rabbit stew.
