Is it a legit animal attack or a fake video? At first, it does appear like a scene from a bad sitcom, but with more cussing. The victim’s husband holds the bobcat aloft like a thrashing Simba before hurling it across the manicured lawn. He then pulls his sidearm and gives chase to the fleeing feline. Authorities didn’t specify whether the man actually shot the bobcat, only that the wild cat had died and that it did test positive for rabies.
