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

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

Post by: quadrafire on January 29, 2013, 02:47:41 PM: I would not want to attempt that on my house cat. Bet the Heart rates were in high gear.

It likely fell off in a short run after camera view. Once released from the trap, with the intent of letting the cat go, untranked... I'd have let go of the snare too. Bigger cohoney's to take time to slip that snare would have been a waste.
