This ain’t a kittypet people.
This is a wild animal. It isn’t going to think “finally, mommy is here to make it all better”
It is injured and scared, it is scared of you too!!
Pound for pound a Bobcat is Hell on 4 legs. I’m sorry someone got bit but stupidity is often expensive.
Trying to capture a wild, wounded animal? LOL!! Idiots have watched too many Disney movies.
Not a smart move without the proper equipment and training.
My late uncle would have appreciated this story. He was the dispatcher for the local SPCA.
He would get calls all the time to send units to chase wild animals. Once a lady called and demanded that they remove the ducks from the river so they didn’t freeze.
Another lady put a small deer in the trunk of her car and then asked what she should do next.
They just yelled at him when he tried to explain that they were wild animals and to leave them alone.
She just made matters worse. Now the animal has to be put down to analyze it’s brain tissue for rabies.
She must be a liberal. Thinks/thought wild animals and humans can live together in peace and harmony.
Heck I drove thru this area at about that time and didn’t see anything. rats
Grabbing a wildcat is easy - letting go is another matter entirely.
A boibcat can kill an adult male human. They have done it many times, esp. during the settlement of the West.
A bobcat can kill an adult male human. They have done it many times, esp. during the settlement of the West.
Not a Darwin event, but not for lack of trying and stupidity.
What is it with these cat ladies? They hoard them in their houses, they try to pick up injured, wild ones, plus they feed the bears.

Ladies, just stay in your cars and just keep driving!
One of the most beautiful animals on the planet. When I was a kid growing up in rural Arkansas bobcats were seen all the time.
Reminds me of Jerry Clower: “Wooooo! Shoot this thang!”

Years ago two male raccoons were in a nasty fight on the beach in front of our home - one of our guests suggested we break it up. I said go ahead, I’ll drive you to the hospital afterwards.
People are so ignorant
Bobcats have killed toddlers
Got one on my wall....used to spit bolts

a person that started in to carry a cat home by the tail was getting knowledge that was always going to be useful to him, and warn’t ever going to grow dim or doubtful.

I live maybe 2 miles from that intersection....
I am very surprised a bobcat was injured there....
The area is not very rural....basically open area between housing developments ....this is not back country at all....
....and you would have to be a complete idiot or a liberal ( but. I repeat myself ) to approach a bobcat at all....
