Considering the specialized equipment, not her first rodeo.

[-] blargerer@kbin.social 22 points 10 months ago

Quick searching suggests she hunts them with the traps but has to release when she's over her quota or the season is over.

Why does she hunt them? Are the overpopulated or intrusive or something?

Edit to add: here’s what I found after a few iterations of searching:

Skye Goode is a woman who engages in a regular practice of trapping coyotes around her home, where they pose a threat to the environment.

Unlike other trappers, she uses a humane, modern-day foothold trap that is strong enough to trap a variety of different animals but does not break any bones and does not draw blood.

So she doesn’t hunt wildcats. Where’d you get your info?

I’m glad to know it’s a humane trap because this is not a video of a woman “helping” a wild cat like OP said. It’s a video of a woman mitigating a mistaken impact her traps made on an unintended species. She’s got special equipment for this so clearly expects it. But if she’s dealing with bad coyote problems, and it’s not harmful to the cat, then okay I guess.

Yes, she does only hunt coyotes, the bastards are a menace.

[-] spikederailed@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Coyote were a problem is Charlotte NC, which is far from rural. I could only imagine how bad they are up in Wisconsin where she is at

This just in, directly from my ass.

Story I found is that she hunts coyotes and that these traps are humane, not breaking bones or drawing blood.

[-] JanoRis@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

You might want to replace that it with not. Like that it sounds like tge traps do harm the animals

[-] June@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Yea that was a typo

[-] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 months ago

She's also probably responsible for the trap in the first place.

First video of an animal being released where it doesn't just bolt away the second it can. Heck, that cat even looked thankful after the fact like "oh shit, you helped me? I kinda like you now"

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

You didn't attack me?!? I don't need to attack you??

[-] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

poor little guy!

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

Here’s hoping the cat doesn’t have a serious paw injury.

[-] June@lemm.ee 32 points 10 months ago

Article I linked above says it’s a humane trap that doesn’t break bones or draw blood. So that’s good.

[-] eating3645@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

I hope I never find myself living somewhere I need to keep an anti-mauling board handy for such occasions.

[-] June@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago

It is her trap, it’s just not meant for catching wildcats.

[-] Sh3Rm4n@feddit.de 19 points 10 months ago

Those are usually videos of people trapping the animal off camera just to look heroic when releasing them.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Do you have something to back that up?

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Basically animal rescue video channels are probably all fake and keep changing their names when confronted.

Random wantless accusation, innit?

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Okay, you got me with the username. I thought this was posted to funny at first.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 9 points 10 months ago
