MIAMI — The story of a long-time NBA veteran point guard out of Oakland seeking an NBA championship with the Miami Heat while on the back end of his career in his 30s is not unique to Damian Lillard.

‘The problem has become monstrous’: Rescue groups struggle to save bunnies invading Wilton Manors

Until very recently, dozens of bunnies were hopping around the Jenada Isles neighborhood of Wilton Manors, digging holes, chewing on grass and eating carrots out of people’s hands. But for the rescue workers trying to capture them, the situation was far from something out of a children’s book. They say people threatened to shoot them, followed them on foot and in slow-moving cars, honked horns and cursed at them, filmed and took pictures of them and even chased the rabbits away from rescue workers in order to prevent their capture. Meanwhile, the bunnies are in desperate need of medical attention,...
