Quick searching suggests she hunts them with the traps but has to release when she’s over her quota or the season is over.

Why does she hunt them? Are the overpopulated or intrusive or something?

Edit to add: here’s what I found after a few iterations of searching:

Skye Goode is a woman who engages in a regular practice of trapping coyotes around her home, where they pose a threat to the environment.

Unlike other trappers, she uses a humane, modern-day foothold trap that is strong enough to trap a variety of different animals but does not break any bones and does not draw blood.

So she doesn’t hunt wildcats. Where’d you get your info?

Yes, she does only hunt coyotes, the bastards are a menace.

I’m glad to know it’s a humane trap because this is not a video of a woman “helping” a wild cat like OP said. It’s a video of a woman mitigating a mistaken impact her traps made on an unintended species. She’s got special equipment for this so clearly expects it. But if she’s dealing with bad coyote problems, and it’s not harmful to the cat, then okay I guess.

Coyote were a problem is Charlotte NC, which is far from rural. I could only imagine how bad they are up in Wisconsin where she is at

Let’s not stoop to reddit’s level of toxicity and bitter cynicism by attacking the humans. Let’s focus on correcting misconceptions and spreading knowledge instead. Let’s make a better, happier world.

Story I found is that she hunts coyotes and that these traps are humane, not breaking bones or drawing blood.

You might want to replace that it with not. Like that it sounds like tge traps do harm the animals
