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?
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.
Nice to see Lemmy going full Reddit.
How so
Just flatout making shit up
Genuine question. How is this made up
One comment says she hunts wild cats, the other comment says she certainly doesn't, simple logic dictates one of them has to be wrong.
Yes, she does only hunt coyotes, the bastards are a menace.
Those are usually videos of people trapping the animal off camera just to look heroic when releasing them.
It's probably her trap
