NFT: Grandma kills rabid bobcat with her bare hands

montanagiant : 6/19/2018 12:29 am
Probably one of the most baddest ass things I have ever heard.

Quote:
"As soon as it took the first step, I was in trouble and I knew it," Phillips told CBS. "My first thought [was] Not today! I wasn’t dying today." The bobcat leapt, teeth aiming for her jugular, but Phillips managed to dodge the potentially fatal bite.

"It caught me slightly on my face, but I got him before he could do much damage there," she explained to OnlineAthens. "I took it straight to the ground and started inching my hands up to its throat. I knew that was the only way I was getting out of this."

She began strangling the animal, hands tight around its neck, as it twisted and bit her. Phillips said she wanted to scream for help, but stayed quiet, knowing it was the only way to keep her young granddaughter safe.

She eventually strangled the bobcat to death, hesitant to let go even after the rabid animal lay motionless on the lawn next to her.

Kill or be killed is a powerful thought. Hell of a story to tell the grand kids (don't mess with Grandma!)
Next time Junior falls off his bike and comes looking for sympathy...

if you know the wild animals around your double-wide by their first name. "Hello bob."

my reaction based on the headline: wtf, some 70+ y/o is strangling a bobcat?

Oh, it she was like mid-40s.

Still impressive but had different imagery in my mind.
I recall a story out in Deposit NY...

...around 20 years ago - a 13 year old boy killed a rabid bobcat that attacked him by ramming a pen in the cats eye - deep enough to kill it.

Badass.
