An update on the Jackal situation in Howick.
The Jackal was sighted late yesterday afternoon on the corner of Symmonds Lane and Andrew Street. Unfortunately we were only informed of this sighting this morning.
PLEASE report any sighting IMMEDIATELY to Ginette Mitchell on +27 (0)82 566 9673 or contact Knight Security Solutions on +27 (0)33 330 5911.
This animal is posing a serious safety and health concern for Howick residents and their pets. It needs to be caught so we can confirm if it is rabid or not. Its behaviour indicates that it is rabid and if this is the case then it may well die in the next few days. This means that ANY sighting of a DEAD or ALIVE jackal needs to be report IMMEDIATELY.
Please also note that Ginette Mitchell posted the following on Facebook yesterday.
"In regard to the recent rabies scare in Howick, there will be a free rabies vaccination clinic in Howick on Thursday, 2nd April, from 8am – 12pm. The clinic will be in the park outside the Howick Community Church. Please share this post with as many Howick residents as possible".
