unregulated harvest ot bobcats justifies the ban, at leut until further evidence copies along.”
As one arm of government, the Endangered Species Scientific Authority, sets out to curb the killing of the bobcat, the Department of Interior is engaged in trapping it. Since October of last year the department has killed more than 2,000 bobcats, most in response to ranchers’ complaints.
Although wildlife defenders have protested the killing, an Interior Department official says the actions of the two arms of government are not in conflict. “The number we kill is so small compared with that killed for commercial purposes,” he said. "If we had reason to believe populations were really getting low, we would relocate the animals rather than kill them.” The bobcat, sometimes called a wildcat, is a spotted relative of the cougar, Canada lynx, and jaguar. Named for its “bobbed” tail, the bobcat stands about 15 inches high.
