* Not bare-handed, but a catchpole-assisted Neck Lift is one way for animal-control workers to restrain aggressive cats without being clawed to ribbons. Not recommended for more than a few seconds, due to the risk of strangulation or neck injury, but often unavoidable if the cat must be retrieved from a confined and/or precarious space that humans can't enter.

* Not bare-handed, but a catchpole-assisted Neck Lift is one way for animal-control workers to restrain aggressive cats without being clawed to ribbons. Not recommended for more than a few seconds, due to the risk of strangulation or neck injury, but often unavoidable if the cat must be retrieved from a confined and/or precarious space that humans can't enter. Interestingly, the catchpole's main function is the ''opposite'' of this trope; the primary means of restraining an animal is by catching their neck in the loop and pulling them ''to the ground'', holding them in place. This allows for better control of the animal, by means of holding their head in a fixed position so they cannot rear up and try to attack the worker, while also reducing the chance of strangulation by restricting the animal from struggling against the catchpole.[[note]]Some theorize this has to do with deliberately invoking the animal's natural instincts, since many animals take being forced to the ground as a sign of dominance from a 'pack leader' or competitor.[[/note]]

* The "scruff grip" variant is deliberately invoked by some ballistic vests used by law enforcement and military personnel, by way of a handle being made into the back of the vest near the collar; this way, if the soldier/officer is wounded or incapacitated, one of their comrades can grab the handle and pull/drag them out of danger. This handle, however, is only useful on certain types of vests which are secured to the person wearing it and not, say, simply draped over their shoulders, since, otherwise, pulling on the handle would simply yank it off the officer/soldier wearing it.

This trope also usually ignores the fact that in real life, a neck lift victim would need an abnormally robust neck in order to be slowly throttled without taking more immediate and catastrophic damage first. A hand strong enough to keep a secure grip on the neck while lifting the entire body would probably also crush the delicate larynx and trachea in the process, and a violent jerking motion could damage the neck vertebrae or spinal cord. Some media gets around this by having the lifter grab the victim by the collar of their shirt, essentially using the shirt as a harness to hoist the victim into the air to achieve a similar effect without risking injury... though in that case the victim could possibly escape by raising their arms and slipping out of the shirt. A lapel grip also potentially enables the victim to bite the lifter's hand to make them let go, assuming that their mouth isn't covered by their shirt hiking up on them.
