Escaped lynx shot dead for ****s sake

[J R Hartley]

A tranquilizer dart takes at least 10 minutes to take effect, a scaredy cat can cover a fair distance in 10 mins.
An Eurasian lynx can bring down wild boar, chamois, young moose, roe deer, red deer, and reindeer.
So it's not a little pussy cat.
What would you have said if it had attacked a child?

Shooting it dead was the right call.

Someone putting a bullet in you would most certainly be the right call

As long as the marksman didn't aim at his brain. The bullet would bounce off given how dense it is.
