A farmer in northern British Columbia province, Canada who caught a lynx in his chicken coop on Sunday didn’t react the way one might expect. He didn’t grab a gun or yell at the wild animal. Instead, Chris Paulson grabbed the lynx by the scruff of its neck, lifted it off the ground and scooped it from the coop.
