The one that preys on your pets:
One night, about a year ago, I woke up to screams that filled the night in French Carmel. While I was shuffling, half asleep, towards the grass, my house arrived with the little shih tzu in her arms, bleeding from bite wounds penetrating her neck. A quick examination showed that, luckily for her, the predator's teeth missed the carotid artery by a centimeter and thus her life was saved, but the dog was in a bad condition. Luckily for Meshi, the family dog, it was Shay who ran barefoot into the night, chasing the jackal that kidnapped the dog into the bushes in the Edmund Peleg public garden and tried him, seconds before he managed to eliminate his prey. She came back torn from crossing the bushes, but managed to save the dog.
Pets disappear forever in the hours of darkness
In the inquiry we held with a well-known Haifa veterinarian (whose name is kept in the system), it became clear that there are regular reports of small dogs simply disappearing in the hours of darkness.
This is how it works: The jackal waits quietly and patiently in the dark. The dog runs towards him and barks at him, but the domestic dog does not correctly estimate the strength of the jackal, which is a tough prey animal. He is hungry and has a lot of strength in relation to his size and fragile appearance. The jackal simply grabs him with a quick bite on the neck, lifts the puppy in the air and disappears into the darkness. All this takes about three seconds after which you will say goodbye to your pet forever.
All this was about a year ago. In recent months, long after the quarantine period ended, in which it became clear that the bite did not transmit rabies to the dog, the jackal returns every few nights and waits in the dark. We see him waiting for his prey in the dark. Sometimes he stands and watches the dog watching him through the window. About a month ago he tried again to seize an opportunity and attack. He ran quickly to catch the little dog when she went out to defecate. Luckily for her, there is a guard duty between the members of the house and I saw the attack and attacked him with shouts. He disappeared into the darkness, before he could sink his teeth into it again. The jackal is a powerful and wild animal with a clear method and patience. It is clear to us that he is not giving up.
Cats and hedgehogs are also preyed upon by jackals in the same place where they ambush dogs
The jackals are dining right below our bedroom window. During the meal they make very loud howls. Sometimes they leave remains such as these, which we found not long ago, when a cat and a hedgehog were devoured next to each other under the bedroom window.
Jackals in French Carmel and a warning to dog owners
In the French Carmel there is a pair of jackals that patrol the neighborhood almost every evening. They move between the cats' feeding stations and look for leftover cat food. Occasionally they also prey on the cats themselves.
One has a drooping ear and his friend has two erect ears. They move quickly, in the dark. As part of the project, I went out with a special camera for shooting in low light. It is very difficult to photograph them, so the pictures are blurry.
We warn dog owners (especially small dogs) as well as cat owners. Take care of your animals. Do not let the dog roam the grass alone. It's a matter of three seconds until it's gone.

Cats kill a lot of animals but they are also the only thing that curbs the spread of pests around the world (mice, rats, etc.). In addition to the solution to the problem of the birds and other animals that the cats kill is not to let the jackal prey on them, councils should take responsibility and ensure that cats are sterilized so that they do not multiply.
Cats are domesticated animals like dogs, they are supposed to live with humans, jackals are not! And saying humans are the problem is obvious, but doesn't help anyone.
The jackals that live close to humans are a problem and they need to start dealing with it in a humane way (like moving to more remote areas and making sure they don't have leftover food in the cities) before the situation gets out of control and then the solution will be less nice
And all the sages who say that cats kill more animals, so why are jackals forbidden. You will take care of the cat for a few years, and one day he won't come home, you won't say such things anymore
I saw the pair of jackals now at night, running from Tschernihovsky St. corner of Peretz Hayut up the stairs towards David Markos St.
Guy, leave the pit bull dog, I wonder what the jackal would do if he met the mayor of Kalish Rotem.
It seems that the wild animals are celebrating under the auspices of Mayor Kalish Rotem. In the next election we will let the wild boars and jackals vote for her.
Not only French Carmel.!!!
S.D. Wingate, Kish, Wood'wood, they are predators left and right
And even in the area of Ramat Hadar and Hana Sanesh.!!
Take care of your pets.!!!
If I see that jackal I eat it. We are above everyone else in the food chain except the Chinese
I don't believe this journalist. There is just propaganda based on lies and if it already reveals something like this, why don't people bring their dogs home. And it doesn't matter day or night at all. To the same extent they could be run over or stolen
It's OK. I'm not offended
What kind of people leave their dog outside??? This is the point of the article!
This is a private garden and we keep the dog
Fuss in clothing!!! The story sucks from a finger!!! Jackals don't prey on dogs and cats, there are studies!!! The only thing that could have been said was that a dog jumped on a jackal and the jackal defended itself, and certainly didn't wait for him to eat him!!! Who even gives permission to write such stupid and ignorant articles???
Jackals eat regularly in all my feeding corners with lots of cats and no one disappears... so let's stop making up nonsense because it just seemed to someone something from a dream! Also, jackals can really eat carcasses if they find them already dead, but they certainly do not kill either cats or dogs in order to eat them!
Edna, are you done with Lakspritz or do you have more?
Eradicate this phenomenon of the jackals
Small children are also dangerous for them
Either kill them or build a plan to remove them from the area
Today everyone eats everyone, the poor cats and dogs that are preyed upon by predators and the poor cows, the calves, the sheep, the lambs, the pigs, the chickens, the chicks, the fish, etc., that are preyed upon by humans, what's wrong with that
Your solution is invalid….
Nahariya also has the problem of jackals. My cats get killed when they go over the fence of the house. It is difficult to stop them and the jackals roam freely around the house and only at night. Whole bunches howl all over the nearby field and they walk right next to us without fear. The municipality spreads baits with rabies vaccines and the Nature Authority and the parks avoid touching nature... and we the residents suffer and our cats are killed.
rabies!!! Ministry of Health City Veterinarian where are you urgently when the jackals are hungry even humans can get hurt
The jackal shouldn't have done that
This jackass must be shot.
Peace,
The problem with jackals and wild pigs roaming around Haifa is the fact that these wild animals are dangerous for children and adults and spread serious infectious diseases even if they don't bite. As a result, pets die, even if you walk around with them on a leash, and the health of family members is also in danger because some viruses can specifically harm children, adults and women, especially pregnant women. That is, in populations with a slightly weakened immune system.
There is no sense in mixing wild life in the forest with urban life. And families neither breed nor save the lives of dogs and cats in order to provide food for jackals and pigs.
The problem requires a systemic solution and regular monitoring. Meat with cocoa is perhaps a good solution for a private yard. At the level of urban neighborhoods, the intervention of the city administration is required. There are technologies, you don't need to shoot the animals - smuggle them out and return them to the forests. Haifa pays enough taxes.
I don't have a problem, I have a Bolter
The article is probably staged, and it is aimed at the dog owners, who release them to defecate, without picking up, leave the jackals alone, they are harmless and certainly do not attack dogs and cats!!!
Jackals do not hunt dogs and cats! You are a piece of journalist in a shekel! Just a liar! And makes people believe your lies! You have no clue about wild animals! And if your little dog is so important to you, she shouldn't wander around at night without supervision! The public is stupid and jackals pay!
Look what your lies are causing! A community of ignorant people who think they should be eliminated and destroyed!
While there is an association that is struggling to preserve this amazing animal! All for a little rating and for a lousy article!
The article is staged
In these pictures I am disguised as a jackal peeing on a bush.
The cat we ate is made of plasticine
This hedgehog is from the cover of Shmulik Kipod
The bitten dog is Hollywood make-up.
And it's all fake news. Everyone is a liar and only you the genius knows what is really happening in the world.
Did you think of it on your own or did you get professional advice?
To eliminate, you destroyed his house
They and the wild boars need to be thinned out.
Just put a piece of well-poisoned meat and then there won't be two jackals anymore. Did you think about it Chipupo?
Why kill an animal? In this case give hunger
He doesn't understand, he's hungry, he doesn't attack cats and dogs for fun. We need to take care of proper nutrition for the unfortunate wild animals: jackals, pigs, wolves, pelicans.
Their living spaces are shrinking and they need to be helped to survive.
The cocoa kills them.
A jackal is a protected animal. The rabbi is not the solution.
Why suggest killing?
What exactly do you expect them to eat?? After all, they took over all the living areas. exterminated their prey.
My heart hurts for the dogs and cats that are killed
The time has come to give back to the animals in the wild a life-giving life.
First pigs and now jackals? Friends, are you bored or looking for articles??? Dogs should not be loose.
Like you don't have to be loose
The truth is that we are looking for interesting articles and you are welcome to suggest
In the south, in the Be'er Sheva area and in the Modi'in area, in addition to jackals, hyenas also began to roam, in Ashkelon foxes wander at night as if they were domestic animals and jackals hunt them as well. The prey animals have no more nature so they learn to adapt to life in the nature we created. Cats prey on birds, jackals prey on cats, nature will find its balance
What you need to keep the dogs and walk only with leashes.
Bring your dog home at night
There is enough equipment for the animals so that we can keep them.
agree
I found a brutally drowned bride in my garden in north Tel Aviv.
That's how I found out that the jackals invaded the houses there and scavenged for prey at night. And then I already met them every night.
Makes sense. There are jackals in Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv
The cats that prey on any small animal such as a songbird, turtle, chameleon, are much more harmful to nature. Let the animals live as they are used to, and take the dog for a walk with a leash and a bag as it should be done
Let them devour as many cats as possible, which destroy birds, lizards, etc. There is no benefit in these cats, only harm
Not true. Of course cats have a benefit. Thanks to them there is no plague of mice and snakes. mainly in rural areas.
Teva Nature Reserve must take them down and become a blow
Why don't you put a trap for a repellant. The endangered animals that were killed
A "good" soul like you, why?
What did the jackal do to you? Humans are the most vile creatures, self-interested people who harm everything that comes near. In particular for their personal interest. The Creator of the world created the animals in one way or another. The jackal lives wild, there is nothing to be done.
It's actually a good idea to capture them and move them to a remote place in the wild
The problem is that now dog owners who want to get rid of the dog or cat will put them in Haifa police and enforcement instead of solving the problem quickly
Maybe leave unnecessary food instead of throwing it in the trash. Make a feeding point, and as soon as they have food they will not go out to devour. They are just busy surviving.
I often meet Natan near the house. It's just scary. I've already contacted the municipality, but they don't do anything about Natan.
Baby, did you give a name to the dog? Hahaha good name "Nathan"
I also meet Natan Lig my home. He is actually a nice man.
He always offers to help with my baskets to cross the road.
Dogs and cats prey on many more animals - why are they allowed and jackals are not?
Carnivorous animals usually prey. It's cruel and painful, but we can't change it.
But everything is dwarfed, compared to the killing and cruelty caused by one animal, man.
So let's focus first on what we can prevent, the massive slaughter of animals by man.
Eliminate them with approval
eliminate you with approval
Wow scary what is a fox? Can devour a small child if he enters the house
preys mostly on fools.
Wow, what is a hippopotamus?
What did the municipality do about this? Have we complained to the municipal hotline?
The municipality is not initiating a jackal removal project at this stage
The hunters' organization finances articles,
Keep the dog at home or walk on a leash.
No need to shoot jackals.
I have not heard of such an organization but if it pays then I would love to receive a few shekels lol.
In any case, the article neither claims nor implies that jackals should be shot.
It is not clear why you suggest such an idea.
The article specifically says to keep dogs and cats
I wonder what would happen if a dog met a pit bull. He is smart about small dogs, why can he about a pit bull?
Lee he preyed on a chicken
If the chicken roamed free, even a cat can attack it.
so sad!
There are also jackals in Western Carmel. (Boadi)
You hear them in the evening and at night.
If there is a problem of a jackal that comes back and attacks again and again, leave him a mixture of meat and cocoa - if he is hungry enough, he will eat, and the problem is solved.
You just have to be careful that the dogs don't eat this mixture by mistake, because it's dangerous for them too...
Why cocoa?
Because a jackal is a type of dog and cocoa is really unhealthy. There are types of dogs that cocoa can kill!
I have a dog and cats, but Tenny understands the jackal's need to live.
Hunger and nothing else, unlike humans who eat animals for pleasure...
Leave him leftover meat and drink the cocoa alone.
It could be that these are a pair of jackals with offspring.
Jackals also have a right to live
Do not harm them
There is no dispute about that
Why are they walking around alone?
exactly!
First of all, let's start with the fact that the dogs are not supposed to walk around without a leash. When your dog is walking without a leash, you won't pick up his needs after him either (you certainly won't look in the dark for where he did it), a dog that walks around swallows a leash, and usually in playgrounds, urinates on the games that the children will play the next day.
There is no doubt that the jackals are a problem and really not a trivial matter, but enough already with the loose dogs
For the municipality to collect, they are paid property tax for this
Does the municipality also have to wipe your t*t? ??
Do you have any idea what heartbreak it creates when your dog's poop is in my way or my children's??? I wish you to work in the municipality and clean streets for this stupid saying
Normal dogs don't urinate in games...

Misplaced my comment. I corrected and copied it above. Amsher to delete this one
I understand your resentment, but for some reason you forget that they were here before. It's a predator and that's what a predator does. By the way, those who breed big dogs with a violent character, if one day this dog breaks out - that's exactly what the dog will do, because that's his nature and he's a predatory animal. Cats also prey on birds and leave their carcasses. Go out at night when the dogs are on a leash, protect your children and understand that night is the time for the jackals to go out and look for food.
Coco's response
The life of a jackal is about 15 years, so if we arrived in 48, that's seventy-two years, which should be enough for the fifth generation of jackals that we've arrived and we won't go anywhere else. So someone has to surrender, and besides, in Shemen Beach there is an urban kennel from which they are released into the street or a lot of dogs run away from them, you just have to direct the jackals Because they will make corrupt meals there and clean the area of loose and dangerous dogs.
Normal dogs don't urinate in games...
Normal dogs don't urinate in games...
They know how to pee on the grass, they are not clogged
We do not have a single dog park in the Carmel-Carmelia-Kabavir center, and the municipality is harassing the dog owners!
I try to get my dog to defecate on the synthetic grass and in the games of the playground, especially at this time when other places are full of mud - as a protest that the municipality ignores the dog owners in the area.
I think it should be in the interest of everyone whose children play in the various parks to have a dog-only park in Carmel.
Until then, dogs, pigs and jackals will defecate in the playgrounds.
This is their garden
I don't understand why they don't take care of jackals to capture or kill their lives because it is a danger not only to life but also to humans
And what about the cats?
agree.
Right! Why do dogs walk around without a leash? Because it's dark and there are no inspectors in the dark?
The municipality of Haifa could very well cover its deficit if only it would send sweepers to public parks after 19:00 and fine all dog owners who walk around without a leash, and/or don't pick up after their dogs.
In the morning, the children walk through the gardens, stepping on uncollected poo and playing in the urine of the dogs that peed on the slides and facilities in the gardens.
The owners of the dogs do not know how great the residents' heartache is because of them. The municipality can solve this for the well-being of the residents and the well-being of its own pocket. Not sure why they don't. A great way to cover debts.
And where does the cat urinate? in the bathroom?
Jackals don't tend to urinate where they smell humans. They are not domesticated. Dogs do. Jackals urinate where they smell vegetation and soil. Not on slides in the middle of a public park. It happens after domestication.
You are absolutely right. Dogs should not be allowed to roam alone, but street cats are dangerous
The dog goes out into a private yard
And what about the cats?
