Farmer lectures a lynx after it attacked his chicken coop in British Columbia

A wild lynx got an earful from a farmer in British Columbia after it attacked a chicken coop on Feb. 21.

Chris Paulson managed to grab the lynx by the scruff of its neck when it refused to leave the henhouse.

B.C. officials are reminding people that those kind of interactions with wildlife are dangerous and illegal.

Meanwhile, the surviving chickens are screaming at him like *"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BRING IT BACK?!"*

The lynx just accepting his fate with disgruntled glaring and growling is the most cat-like thing I’ve ever seen

The look on the lynx’s face is priceless. It screams that this is definitely not how he expected his day to go.

The grumbling in response to his banter is so priceless.

I love how the lynx looks guilty and furious at the same time 🤣

[mjboutin]

I’ve never seen a wild animal look so inconvenienced and annoyed yet resigned to enduring it.

The farmer isn’t angry, just disappointed.

American farmers: *shoots predators*

Canadian Farmers: “Now now you sit in this corner and think about what you did”

Farmer: "Look what you did!"
Lynx: "I apologize for nothing."

Caught the lynx and managed to record himself scolding it……..next level stuff!

Managing to grab a lynx like it's his own cat: boss mode.
Lecturing the lynx: Dad mode.

literal wild lynx:
canadian: bad kitty

[ManicPandaz]

The farmer is just like “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.”

The Lynx being held like a disgraced domestic cat must be humiliating...

Lynx: “I wanna talk to my lawyer about these false allegations.”

I read the article, here's what basically happened:
He found the lynx inside the henhouse, it was backed into a corner. He grabbed it and decided to record himself and post the video on Facebook. It ended up going viral. He then put it in a dog carrier, drove a few miles away and released it into the woods.
There's more to the story, but I tried to condensed it for brevity.

This has to be the most “unhand me human” thing I’ve ever seen 😂

You took the lynx back to the scene of the crime. The chickens that survived this massacre must have had a heart attack.

[sparkle-sims]

The fact that the lynx is acting like a stubborn child makes it even better😭😭but I’m sad that he got the chickens

[PsychonauticExplorer]

Sounds like the owl was politely lectured as well.
