What animal would kill a wild rabbit by tearing out the rabbit's throat?

I found a dead rabbit today. It's throat had a chunk missing from it. What animal would kill a rabbit like this and then let it lay without eating it? I live in Southeast Wisconsin.


Thanks.What animal would kill a wild rabbit by tearing out the rabbit's throat?
Domestic Cats will often kill animals such as rabbits, squirrels, small rodents, and birds, without actually eating them. A bite or wound to the throat is a trade mark for cats. Wild cats all make their kills by a suffocation hold on their prey. Even large cats like Tigers and Lions due this. Most wild animals will usually eat their prey after killing it. Domestic cats on the other hand are very well known for killing back yard wildlife just for the kill.What animal would kill a wild rabbit by tearing out the rabbit's throat?
