Fuzzy Invasion Of Domestic Rabbits Has A Florida Suburb Hopping Into A Hunt For New Owners​

WILTON MANORS, Fla. (AP) — When Alicia Griggs steps outside her suburban Fort Lauderdale home, Florida's latest invasive species comes a-hoppin' down the street: lionhead rabbits.

The bunnies, which sport an impressive flowing mane around their heads, want the food Griggs carries. But she also represents their best chance of survival and moving where this domesticated breed belongs: inside homes, away from cars, cats, hawks, Florida heat and possibly government-hired exterminators.

Griggs is spearheading efforts to raise the $20,000 to $40,000 it would cost for a rescue group to capture, neuter, vaccinate, shelter and then give away the estimated 60 to 100 lionheads now populating Jenada Isles, an 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.

That was precisely the cartoon I was thinking of.

Wilton has some nice homes. It was gentrified by a bunch of florists and male hair dressers. It borders the NW Ft. Lauderdale ghetto. Downtown is creepy during the day. I never been there at night.

They should be able to track down the culprit and embarrass her online.
