Something (rabies?) was definitely wrong with this one.

Agreed...No self respecting bobcat would be caught dead being killed by a hammer. hehe

Based on the headline and the way it reads, that was my question, too.

The kill does seem to have been justified. Indeed, if the bobcat was rabid then killing it was a mercy.

Well, I’ve had my laugh for the day!
Except I’ve seen a 30 pound bobcat, and it had the nastiest temper of any animal I’ve ever seen. Most DO avoid human contact. The bobcat, though....

How did the bobcat get a hold of a hammer?

He went in to his local Home Depot and bought one.

Hammers don’t kill. We need to make sure other animals gone wild aren’t allowed access to such hand tools without proper training. I say, license the bobcat before it is allowed to use a hammer or any handtool. What next? A moose with a screwdriver in a bar with my sister? /pregnant question

Thank you for the laugh! What a way to end the day. This from a self respecting cat lover!
