I can't understand why his arms were not torn up. I can't imagine a Bobcat allowing itself to be handled like that without putting up a hell of a fight.

That might explain it.

I thought that too until Rog posted that it was rabid. Rabies slows animals down a lot as the sickness spreads in them. They lose coordination.

You know how the press is...but they seemed to be getting the info from the county and I assume the cops know what kind of animal they shot.

Bob cats are normally very non social around people.
I've seen Manxes that look just like a small bobcat.
... body conformity, color and the trademark bobbed tail too.

Just one more guess to add to the speculation.
I'm also guessing that a bobcat attack like that is as rare as a Bigfoot sighting.

No.

Seen a bunch of em
They're like most any other animal.
They do whatever they want at whatever
hour of the day that the mood strikes
them whether it's 3AM or 3PM
The ones I've shot were out stalking during
full daylight hours. They'll eat whatever
animal they can manage to get down on
the ground. Neighborhood pets are a
favorite snack in this region along with
whitetail deer fawns.
I've had people with degrees tell me that
they only eat rodents in the wee AM hours.
I can always tell that most of their experience
is with a textbook in a classroom when
they tell me that

I give him credit for having the stones to pull it off of his wife. A lot of “men” today would have run away.

Yep. I wish he would've blown it away in the vid too. Would've been highly satisfying.

"The man can be heard firing at least one shot, wounding the bobcat. The caller said the bobcat then hid behind a tire under their vehicle."

"The bobcat was eventually killed by law enforcement and its body sent to the state lab in Raleigh where it tested positive for rabies."

"Both Happy and Kristi have gone through the treatment for rabies and have both received over 30 shots each."

Hold them down under water in a water trough and they let go after a minute or so. Its best to use good long gloves though.
