Considering the specialized equipment, not her first rodeo.
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.
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.
Nice to see Lemmy going full Reddit.
How so
Just flatout making shit up
Genuine question. How is this made up
One comment says she hunts wild cats, the other comment says she certainly doesn’t, simple logic dictates one of them has to be wrong.

Now I am sad upvote…
Story I found is that she hunts coyotes and that these traps are humane, not breaking bones or drawing blood.
You might want to replace that it with not. Like that it sounds like tge traps do harm the animals
Yea that was a typo
She’s also probably responsible for the trap in the first place.
It’s probably her trap
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”
You didn’t attack me?!? I don’t need to attack you??
poor little guy!
Here’s hoping the cat doesn’t have a serious paw injury.
Article I linked above says it’s a humane trap that doesn’t break bones or draw blood. So that’s good.
I hope I never find myself living somewhere I need to keep an anti-mauling board handy for such occasions.
It is her trap, it’s just not meant for catching wildcats.
Those are usually videos of people trapping the animal off camera just to look heroic when releasing them.
Do you have something to back that up?
Basically animal rescue video channels are probably all fake and keep changing their names when confronted.

Okay, you got me with the username. I thought this was posted to funny at first.
That’s great!
