When Utah conservation officers heard that there was a cougar caught in a trap, they were determined to help. Although it would be a dangerous mission – the men were prepared to do all that they could to free the poor animal. Get ready for your heart to skip a beat, because this is pretty frightening to watch!

There are a lot of people who put their lives on the line everyday to help others. And amazingly, some even do so for animals. One example of these heroes are the wildlife conservation officers in Utah, who help rescue animals in their parks. However, it’s not to say that it’s not a little scary doing so. As they say in the video, “One of those things that feels like the “first time” every time. Releasing a lion from a trap with catchpoles.”

In the video, we see a cougar on a mountain top with his arm stuck in a trap. As the officers try to help him, he hisses and squirms at them. It’s probably a good thing that he couldn’t move at the time – because the men would be in danger if so! Be sure to watch to see how the rescue mission takes place. It’s truly one that gives you chills!
