In Bugulma, a hunt was opened for the lynx that tore apart a cat.

      The animal is planned to be euthanized. In Bugulma, the appearance of a lynx that attacked a domestic cat has been confirmed. This was reported by "TNV". After a video of the lynx walking through the streets of the city appeared on social media, many thought it was a fake. However, the State Committee of Tatarstan for Bioresources confirmed that the predator indeed approached people. Specialists recorded the lynx's tracks, and a report of the attack was received. A resident of a private house on Strelka Street reported that the lynx caught and tore apart her cat, and part of the prey was hidden. "The lynx senses a person from afar and avoids encounters. I have personally seen it in the forest fleetingly only twice throughout my practice. For it to enter the city — such a thing is not remembered in Bugulma, especially since the local population is small," said Timur Giniatullin, head of the department of the State Committee for Bugulminsky and Yutazinsky districts, to a correspondent of the "RT" newspaper.

      Currently, specialists from the trapping service are on duty near the house where the predator was seen. The lynx is planned to be euthanized with the help of a tranquilizer and released into the protected area of Lipovka in the Bugulminsky district.
