Pennsylvania: Man Shoots, Kills Bobcat That Attacked His Pet Goat: "A man shot and killed a bobcat, after the bobcat attacked one of his pet goats. The attack happened around 9 a.m. Thursday in a remote area of Conemaugh Township in Somerset County. The man said he shot the bobcat because he was protecting his pet. The goat, Brownie, only suffered a few cuts. The man said he was worried if he just got the bobcat to go outside the fence that it would come back later and hurt Brownie. Game commission officials told Channel 11’s sister-station WJAC, that to spot a bobcat is very rare, but to have one in a back yard and come just 6 feet away is even more unlikely. Bobcats rarely come out during the day, but they are predators. The game commission plans on picking up the bobcat on Friday."

Hearing the commotion, Paulo Jean, 35, stepped outside his home next door. Trouble attacked him, biting his buttocks and both arms. Jean pulled a .380 semiautomatic handgun from his pants pocket and fired three shots. Trouble died at the scene. Jean was taken to Broward General Medical Center with serious injuries. Broward County Animal Care and Regulation removed the dead dog and took another dog that also got loose from the same residence. The dogs' owner was not at home when the attack occurred.
