Yes, I thought the same Azz ...... but then I did wonder if they did try to scare off the Mum for a while to give them chance to try and untangle the cub....

But she was determined to get her cub Azz and was single minded in her efforts - probably would have got it out quicker if the humans hadn't tried to intervene.
