I quit reading when I read near extinction.

Well, it's been kicked around for a long while that the demise of the red fox was the reason for the explosion of Lyme disease so bobcat would be in the same group, the white footed mouse is a carrier of LD the new born ticks live on them and catch the disease from them which in return give it to humans,
I didn't read it all but I do agree it's pathetic the way these farmers use poison just because of there poor handling of there grain, poison is there answer to everything it's pathetic.

Yep.

Bobcats carry a lot of transferable diseases and parasites. Here are several research papers on bobcats by Elliott Zieman, a biological research scientist I know.

The opossum studies he did contain a lot of opossums I trapped and donated to Elliott while he was at Wilmington College.

Lyme's disease started on Lyme Connection and just off the coast is Plum Island
A government animal testing facility, coincidence

I read it all, but that was a flag it was from anti animal use, trapping, hunting, even farming.
