A person in the Golden Hills neighborhood tried to free the animal, but the bay lynx was too vicious, Aaron Berscheid, life manager, aforementioned Monday. The at bay bay lynx knotted, hissed and fought to get away. piece the neighbor was on the phone with Berscheid the bay lynx managed to tear itself out of the net and fly, he aforementioned.
People should call life officers rather than try to free wild animals themselves, Berscheid aforementioned. Bobcats are particularly hostile.
“It’s not a friendly animal and hates world,” Berscheid aforementioned.
“Others injure themselves or die frantically trying to escape,” aforementioned Bill Vogrin, interpreter for Parks and life. They can hang themselves, get attacked by other wild animals or by dogs, Vogrin aforementioned.

School and recreational officials should regularly take nets down so raptors, deer and bay lynxs don’t get at bay, Vogrin aforementioned.
“They will panic,” he aforementioned of the wild animals and raptors. “Raptors will break a wing. It’s a big problem. I see it all the time. It’s really a danger.”
