Efforts are underway to rescue the domesticated rabbits that have populated a Florida neighborhood. Rescue groups are using traps, hands and sometimes nets to capture the 60 to 100 lionhead rabbits living in a community near Fort Lauderdale. The lionheads are not suited for living outdoors and Florida is especially nasty. They have thick fur that makes them overheat in the summer and their lack of fear makes them easy catches for predators like cats and hawks. But some neighbors like having the rabbits around and have made threats against the rescuers. Others understand, however, and are making plans to adopt the rabbits once they're available.
