I'm disgusted that this is being allowed when we have a well funded research project at OU that doesn't require any killing. Don't trap bobcats!

STOP THE UNNECESSARY KILLING PLEASE. ANIMALS HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS TO LIVE ALONG SIDE HUMANS.

I would think you could get enough ‘accidental’ Carcasses for any research needs from people who are trapping other animals but catch a bobcat “accidentally”.

The populations of this necessary predator are not yet sufficient to warrant anything other than a nuisance removal.

The timeline for public input is not sufficient . Please extend !

Bobcats only came off the endangered species list in Ohio a few years ago. It is too soon to start trapping them. 60 bobcats for a small population is too many!

Do the right thing! Trapping is barbaric. No to trapping. Period!

Please don’t hunt the bobcats! They are vital parts of the ecosystem and a great source of pride to the students and faculty at Ohio University.

We have no significant evidence of Bobcat population to permit this proposal.

Stop being so easy on wildlife for profit! Trapping is cruel and the bobcats were just brought back to healthy limits....give them a chance for Christ's sake!

I support efforts to review the status of trapping bobcats in Ohio. As an Ohio University Alumni member, I support protecting Ohio’s bobcats and OU’s mascot.

There is absolutely no reason for trapping bobcats in Ohio!

There is no valid reason to allow the trapping, killing, and skinning of the bobcat which was native to Ohio.

I disagree with the proposal to allow a trapping season for bobcats--there has not been enough research done to show bobcat populations are at a level that would support a trapping season.

There is no sound reason at all to permit trapping of bobcats.

I truly see this is way to get Bobcats back on the endangered species list. Why must we hunt them? Can’t we just let them be
