B.C. farmer grabs Lynx (a lynx is a little like a bobcat) eating his chickens by scruff of the neck and scolds it. He released it later with the dead chickens as a snack. [vicnews.com]
I'm glad he released it.
Personally, though we should be able to protect our animals from predators, I do not think we should be allowed to kill them. It's natural to do what is necessary to survive, theirs as well as ours. Killing them for trying to feed themselves is unethical IMO. There are other ways to deal with predators.
It’s what animals do. They hunt. That’s how they eat and survive.
