Dauphin Animal Control has set multiple traps across the city after identifying a fisher — a small weasel-like predator with a reputation for harming small pets.
Animal Control Officer Todd Tarrant says he’s working alongside an experienced trapper with traps set across the city in case there’s more than one fisher.
He says it’s important for Dauphin pet owners to keep their cats inside during this time, as there’s a chance they could disrupt the trapping efforts.
Tarrant tells CKDM multiple pictures he's received have led to confirmation the animal in question is a fisher.
He anticipates the trapping efforts will take about a week, and says updates on the trapping efforts from Dauphin Animal Control can be expected in the coming week.
