NC: Bobcat Attacks Wife, Husband Grabs, Throws, Shoots – Video
AmmoLand ^ | 23 April, 2021 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 04/29/2021 5:18:21 AM PDT by marktwain

On Friday, 9 April, 2021, Happy and Kristi Wade were going about a normal morning routine, as shown by their security video. Happy can be seen setting a cup of coffee on the hood of his car, and placing a box of sweets in the back seat.

His wife Kristi comes out. She hears a cat growling. She takes a step back, and a bobcat attacks her from behind. Screaming, she darts between the two family vehicles, with the bobcat biting as it climbs up her back.

Her husband, Happy, comes to her aid.  She turns around, and he grabs the bobcat off of her as it nears her neck.

Holding the cat above his head, he suffers three bites until he throws the cat across the yard. After throwing the cat, he draws his concealed pistol, pursues the cat, and shoots it to prevent it from attacking another neighbor.

Later, it is reported the cat had previously stalked a different neighbor, earlier that morning. From wdbj7.com:

WECT reported, Kristi received a number of puncture wounds, scratches and was bitten several times. Happy is then seen grabbing the bobcat and carries it away onto his front lawn.

“I just remember seeing this face and it was trying to bite her right there in the side of the neck,” Happy said. “And so I shoved my arm in and that’s how I ended up with it like this [above his head].”

Happy said he was bit by the bobcat three times before he was able to throw it.

“I thought: ‘I’ll throw it this way,’” Happy said. “Two options: one, it’ll see an escape route and it’ll take off or it’ll stop just a moment where I can get a good shot at it.”

Last I checked Rabies is a disease aka a sickeness.

Check again. You've confused "scabies" which is an infestation of the skin by mites with "rabies" which is a virus that infects the nervous system culminating in death as it damages brain tissue.

Reminds me a bit of a sport I've only been able to fantasize about.

"PULL!"

"...rabies shots..."


Sweet baby Jesus. There is TONS of false information about modern rabies shots in this thread.
A shot in each arm plus brief medical follow-up. Stop all the crazed and hysterical posts.

WECT reported, both Happy and Kristi have gone through the
treatment for rabies and have both received over 30 shots each.
.......

Lots of jabs over the past few days to try and prevent any problems
from the bites/schraches.

Rabies is a Viral DISEASE aka Sickness

I havent confused anything

I’ll take scabies over rabies anytime. Kwell lotion handles Scabies,Rabies is not eliminated with a topical solution, sorry.

Been there done that no thanks on Rabies a Disease, not a parasitic skin infection

Wrong. Watch the video, listen to the description of the bites, and the number of shots given to each to prevent the disease.

Oh, and by the way, I’ve just had the rabies vaccine for travel purposes, and it was a series of four shots, separated over time...

Agree, the contents of the pet carrier likely were the rabid bobcat’s intended target. The humans just got in the way.

Nothing more unnerving than beady eyes from the dark focused on you.

Yes, agree. Bobcats are stout creatures, with powerful legs, claws, and teeth. Kitties on steroids.

The worst was the time I mistook a pack of coywolves for a herd of deer.

I went stomping up to the fence line when I realized what they were...and they stomped right back at me.

I gave over and ran the dogs inside.

:D

As another FReeper noted on the first thread you can see the cat run across the road at the 16sec mark.

"...had the rabies vaccine for travel purposes..."


So in other words, you were not bitten by a suspected rabid animal?
You simply got shots just as a basic precaution for travel. Great!

In my case...I actually was attacked by a rabid animal. I received prophylactic shots to be safe and thankfully went on with life as usual.
I did not require dozens of shots in my abdomen or any of the other treatments (breathlessly) being described in this thread.

That’s correct, I was not bitten by a rabid animal. I got the prophylactic series to prepare for upcoming travel. If you get bitten, it allows you a week or two to get back to civilization to get additional treatment.

I saw a 40 pound female bobcat that a chicken farmer gave to a friend for a taxidermy specimen. Mouth full of feathers, carcass full of bird shot.
