Handling

Relocation

Bobcats should be moved only in situations involving rescue (i.e. trapped in a building).

Translocation

Many states prohibit the translocation of animals because of concerns regarding disease and competition with other bobcats.

Euthanasia

Euthanasia by carbon dioxide is suitable for bobcats. When performed properly, shooting is appropriate.

Disposal

Dispose of a bobcat carcass according to state and local requirements.
