- 4 years ago
An Asian golden cat was rescued from a wild boar trap in a forest in Kemang area.
The footage shows conservation officers in West Sumatra walking into the forest to rescue the cat after it was entangled in a trap this afternoon (June 16).
"The rare golden cat was entangled at about noon and found by the residents who set up the trap. The officers anaesthetized the animal so it could be evacuated as its front left leg was wrapped around a rope," the filmer told Newsflare.
The big cat was taken to the local zoo for immediate care and further observation.
