Pretty sure those sticks are designed to release....the wire pulls out and the animal can get loose.

The snare stick will fall off as the handle end of the cable is not locked tight.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

snared around the waist....yikes.  That is a lucky cat, but I'm not sure why they had the damn dogs there adding to the stress of the whole thing.

Probably to encourage the cat to go the other direction, looks like they did a good job of releasing the cat to me.

Ya- if it lived it was a good release.  Better than chemical immobilization.  It's dicey with cats.
