Even as Jaguars continue to make the lives of residents at Lima Sands, Mainstay/Wyhakah and Tapakuma, all hinterland locations uncomfortable, an agreed approach has been decided on. Yesterday the police, a senior member of the Region Two Administration, and residents met to draft the plan to capture the animal.
The police have promised to provide one of the means which will supposedly aid in the capture of the jaguars.
Residents recalled seeing imprints of the jaguar paws in Lima Sands and Mainstay, Monday morning. One Lima Sands resident who lost three dogs to the jaguar, said that the endangered animal usually visits the Lima Sands area twice every night, at 7PM and at 2 AM.
The Lima Sands resident said that the jaguar entered her dog pen and killed one of her dogs, feasting on his head and intestine and on two other ocassions it killed two more of her dogs. Another resident of Red Lock lost ten goats, while persons in neighbouring Mainstay/Wyakah complained of losing a number of ducks.
Residents said the situation arised now that the country is experiencing a prolonged dry spell. They have opined that the jaguars that have emerged from the Savannahs are in search of food.
