Let's make something clear before watching the following mind-blowing rescue video…
When you see a dangerous animal in trouble, it's not usually a good idea to try and help that animal yourself, even if it's a seemingly harmless puppy on the street like in this video. You really never know what can happen and to me, it's not worth risking your life to be a hero. Instead, do the right thing and call animal control if you can.
That being said, it's always great to see those crazy people who actually do risk their own safety to help animals in need. Although I don't agree with hunting animals for gain, the two men in the following video prove that even hunters can be animal advocates sometimes. In a video Chris Ward uploaded to YouTube, we see him and a friend on a trip through the snowy forest, when they hear cries coming from a nearby trap and start recording what they find.
A young bobcat had gotten caught in another hunter's trap and his tiny paw was really stuck in there good. When they noticed how scared, angry and ferocious the tiny wild cat was, you can tell they became weary of helping, but luckily they didn't give up on the little guy. Instead of moving on or sedating the bobcat, Ward and his friend decided to pin him down to remove the trap. As you can see, it was not simple or easy, but I'm so happy these men went the extra mile to help.
