Guy kills a bobcat with a .22lr and eats it

[Cali-Shooter]

If this guy wasn't under suspicion of being a cock-fighter rooster raiser and if he wasn't a druggie, then he could have a case against the state. But, alas.

Also, bobcat steak or jerky, anyone?

[galekowitz]

Fightin chickens, skinnin bobcats, hell of a weekend!

[FX-05 Xiuhcoatl]

humm, humm, humm.

[Ron-Solo]

Yummy! I wonder what side dishes would go well with that?

Spotted Owl gravy with scrambled condor eggs on the side?

God forbid he waste the meat and treat the animal like crap in death.

[sanjosebmx]

yeah, it makes so much more sense to just throw the animal away... f'in govmn't

The article doesn't say it was a .22lr. It just says .22 caliber rifle. Not that it couldn't have been a .22lr, but there are lots of other .22 caliber rifle rounds out there.

I am sure it was a 22lr, 22mag, or 22 short. If it was say a .223 the media would have said "shot with an assault weapon".

I laughed how they think he was raising the roosters to fight in the philipines. I'm sure the guy could afford the plane ticket for him and his roosters. LOL

I like how the article says what he was charged with:

owning a stash of sharp cockfighting ankle spikes

Is that a crime? I could see them being used as evidence of allegedly running a cockfighting ring, but they are saying he's being charged with owning them. media...

Hide your cock fighting spikes...it is a crime to possess.

I'm surprised the guy ate the cat. On meth, you can go for days without even wanting to eat. It's the ultimate dieting drug, if you can handle the side effects.

A 38-year-old man has been charged with being high on methamphetamine, owning a stash of sharp cockfighting ankle spikes, and skinning a bobcat before he ate it.

Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Steve Lowney said Henry Arnibal stated that he had eaten the bobcat after he was arrested Nov. 7 on Sleepy Valley Road in unincorporated Morgan Hill. Arnibal told authorities that the large feline had eaten five of his roosters, according to Lowney. He killed it with a .22-caliber rifle, authorities allege.

Lowney said it is not illegal to eat a bobcat, but it is illegal to kill one without the proper permit, which he did not have.

All the charges, filed Monday, are fish and game violations, except for the penal drug charge. All are misdemeanors.

Arnibal was released on his own recognizance last week, and is scheduled to face charges in court on Nov. 22. Court records indicate he had no priors in Santa Clara County. He was unable to be reached for immediate comment.

Last week, Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies were looking for a marijuana farm in that area, because there had been one there a year back, Lowney said. When deputies went to investigate, they found it was only shrubs that had grown back. But it was then that authorities say they found Arnibal living in a trailer on the property and using crank. There were 50 roosters also found there, which deputies alleged were being raised to cockfight, perhaps in the Philippines.

But Lowney said there wasn't enough evidence to prove that. The roosters were taken away by animal control authorities. Also taken into evidence, Lowney said, were cockfighting gaffs, which are sharp hooks that attach to roosters legs for illegal fighting, along with the preserved carcass of the bobcat.

I suppose he should have ate it furry?

Yummy! I wonder what side dishes would go well with that?

Dude was just eating a little pu......oh never mind.

+1 on this.

That's wrong in many ways.
