Another rabid bobcat attack..

Hearing more and more about this lately. Not claiming 100% validity on this phenomenon but concerning if it’s true.

Rabies is a scary illness. I hope they rushed right out and got tested/treated.

The other thing you rarely see in these videos is people actually fighting these things off, they just scream and yank things around, like that poor dog. I'm not saying that hand to hand combat with a bobcat would be easy, or even doable for some people, and you certainly would come away worse for wear from it but for God's sake grab that thing by the head and throw it as far as you can.
I hunt therefore I am. I fish therefore I lie.
