I, too, think they are pretty darn cool critters. I've had one in my backyard a couple times. I had no idea what it was the 1st time I saw it, lol.

@@Erin-xg8hz Same. I was horrified when I first heard the sound they make.😳

Say that until they eat your cat. Cute??? You not right in the head

Some old timers used to call them bear cats cause they favor a bear but scream like cat and can climb like one too.,,

Dharam Singh it had fear. You had it cornered. what's it supposed to do

Something is seriously, seriously wrong with you wanting a creature like this that literally has no niche into the ecosystem again. They're fucking vicious little beasts, enough with the PETA crap. These little shits need to go.

Key Silver, well said!

Key Silver Right on.

Key Silver yes in some ways you are right our dogs are never loose, nor our chickens- but when they chew through your sunroom and burrow tt he other side where the chicken are-- chickens are always in at night. My daughter is furious, I am not. I am not happy either, but this is my home they apparently took over the woodchucks home too and he isn't small.I just want them safely removed as it is NOT my home, but I rent and I know the landlords son will kill it if I don't find something to do safely. He killed a snapping turtle head as big as two hands so must have been old. I was not impressed.especially when people don't eat what they kill. i think the noise scares most people sound so dreadful, It sounds like someone is being killed!! same with coydogs- people always wanna blame coydogs for killing when they allow dogs to run loose. It is life- people die of many things gunna try and kill the creator? cycle of life. I feel bad for my chickens and duck but they are gone-- nothing is bring them back in the heat of the moment people will wanna kill. especially if my dog is leashed. my main worry now as it is only 5-10 foot from my leash and the hole goes underneath and can reach the basement.where my dogs are when we arent home- so I am worried for both my dogs and the cat.I dont trust wildlife here as like with bears just shoot them. btw we have a bear too which was awesome, as I told him.her to go before someone saw them. we are in the hills so .. I so love wildlife.

How can I poison one or trap and kill? It's stalking my house and I have a 6 year old son.

scumbag yank

I had one cornered as it was coming down a tree.... it stared me down! I backed the fuck off, and it took of in the other direction.

I saw another video with an animal expert who said that Wolverines can crush the skull of a moose with their jaws.

My dad used to have a dog that would snarl or bark at his own paw, especially when he was eating. Funny as hell.

Nature's serial killers. They kill just to kill.

@@Mooseman327 No, they don't. 🤦‍♂

Slightly chased...

Kids would be the only ones at risk in most situations. Fishers are badass and will take on something twice their size if threatened, but not three or four times their size.

My cats are as big as a fox. I've seen one of my cats face to face with a fox about 2 years ago.

there are in the weasel family.. and they eat cats..

@@soramirez5473 Fishers basically never eats.

@@alexanderkrummholtz1589 every living organism needs to eat.

@@alexanderkrummholtz1589 even plants eat

I keep my cats inside, mostly to keep them from getting run over, but I also don't have to worry about the neighborhood coyotes, or other predators, eating them. Cars must kill a lot more pets than fishers.

Fishers don't hunt cats. It's a myth that need to be put to bed already.

Dawn Gibson The remaining 4 chickens are in the house with the one remaining duck until I can figure what to do-- sooner the better as I hate having them in the house in cages. Please let me know what 2 do. I have 2 humane traps but saw a video with one who caught their necks.I want them rehomed. I also have a woodchuck which I believe the cat chased out of his home. there is a hole under the sunroom been chewed( know it is not the woodchuck. Under the chicken/shed and a hole in the ground - not a woodchuck as it is not a straight hole but curves.and smaller.

@@dawngibson2190 how'd it go?

One killed my grandfather's two Belgian Draft horses the same way. And once they eat the heart, they pop up straight through the gut of their victims, just like Alien larvae.

But he still has a posse.

Yeah, adults don't.

Unless you count human beings. Whole populations of them were once decimated by fur trappers.

Fishers are why God made rifles.

@@Mooseman327 People like you are why we invented abortions.

They're related to ferrets; it would make sense that they smell similar. Ferrets, weasels, minks, fishers, otters, badgers are all mustelids.

Also, let’s not forget skunks. All members of the weasel family have musk glands.

What kind of dog do you have?

a silky terrier/havenese

Sherie Mcclelland Worth noting, a spiky collar may be a wise investment. Lots of animals aim for the throat or back of the neck.

At least there's something to rid of some of the humans population HAHAHAH sorry, nah, I'm not really lol

Holy crap, I live in the same exact town

It’s a program where once they are sure they can make it, they return them to the wild. One of them was on the brink of death, and they saved its life. Soon it will be loving nature again. Take the win.

Mary Sprogell why not

Wait til you have to explain to a six year old why he had to watch his cat Barney get killed and dragged away right in front of his eyes. And that you approve of it.

@@TheAzmountaineer Yes, just read what I said. You don't make any sense. I never said that I approve of it or don't approve of it, so stop putting words in my mouth, I just accept it. Grow up. Shit happens. So go explain to the boy next door when your dear sweet Barney kills a wild bird that comes to eat the seed that the neighbors have put out. THAT doesn't bother you, even if that bird had nestlings that starved to death, proving that you're not caring, you're just narcissistic and incapable of moral reasoning. I've had two cats killed by owls, several by foxes, and others that just never came back. I loved them and I missed them. But It's part of life and you just have to learn to accept it. Explain that to your boy instead of raising him to believe that he's the center of the universe and his feelings are the only feelings that matter. The streets are full of rioters. arsonists, and sadistic murderers who have been raised the same way. Think about that.

@@carnivalwrestler LOL. And you say I don't make sense.

@@TheAzmountaineer You don't make sense, that's precisely the reason you came back with such a sissy-ass weak reply. You can't answer (or even consider) facts, especially when you're proven to be a self-righteous mouthy hypocrite.

Children have no natural predators.

gnite everyone Good dog! Make sure you have an awesome treat for him every time.

i was told she was a rare gem. because not a lot of Golden Retrievers can Handle these things lol

Oh no, not chicken #3,000,000,000! How will I cope with this loss! Nah, fishers are still cute. Sounds like you suck at building coops though.

@@alexanderkrummholtz1589 Yeah you're right they are cute. I hope you get the chance to meet one in person.

@@DGiovanni I have. Still cute. Are you afraid of a 12 lb animal?

@@alexanderkrummholtz1589 You're probably a 13 year old kid who's never left the suburbs.

@@DGiovanni I'm 25 and I live in the middle of the woods in rural NH in good fisher country. If you're so afraid of fishers that you think "meeting" one would be threatening you're honestly pathetic.

They *usually* don't do that. It's actually rare and mostly limited to children because they're smaller. Bears usually don't attack humans either but they're also much bigger than fishers so the numbers are a little different.

Killed a lady? got a link? any info?

You are a liar! A 4-12 pound elusive animal like the fisher would never kill a human being. You are making up stuff.

Ahahaha. Fisher kills human. Ahahaha. Ok. You people r hilarious.

CrazyComicGuy and Idiot-gamers! ★ Crazy Idiot Gamer ★ PS4, NINTENDO, SEGA, WÎÎ, Kills more ppl. than you think. 😂

Yeah, kinda like how we should do away with people who can't spell. Fisher not Fischer.

destroying an ecosystem is always a good idea

Yeah, let's kill nature because it want's to live too, how nice pet owner's are.

It's a matter of balance -and these are very vicious animals, not like a bird or a seal!!!!

R Hbach it's law of nature. They don't understand the concept of a domesticated animal. Don't treat them like they're criminals just because they're predators looking for a meal. We are omnivores, we kill chickens and cows by the millions, but nobody is going to deny us life because of that.

fisher's are awesome animals and have every right to live as your cats

you and your animals don't belong here do they,,your in our land remember that,, why did we help you survives just to turn and kill us and our children??

Brianna Mckinney great observation!

U think u r too vry imprtant fr mothr nature?

They control porcupine populations, which in many areas, are devastating when unchecked. Coyotes and other Apex predators will opt for rodents, young deer, and other easy prey over porcupines, given the option. Fishers, however, prefer porcupines over any other food, and are such talented hunters that they can kill them quite efficiently.

"Fishers actively seek out cats, it's clearly documented, just look it up." Huh, I looked it up and every reliable source said fishers eating cats was a myth. Funny how that works?

@@alexanderkrummholtz1589 Explain all the cats killed by fishers in my neighborhood growing up? Also the the fuck is your problem digging up a 3 year old comment?
