non dangerouse problem causing animals

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Identify and locate non-dangerous damage causing animals.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Non-dangerous damage causing animals are identified and listed.

·         Chrickets

·         Monkeys

·         Cattle

·         Herbivores

·         Red billed quilea’s

·         Wharthogs

·         Etc.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Tracking skills are used to identify non-dangerous damage causing animals.

·         Hearing

·         Smell

·         Eye sight

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

The behaviour of non-dangerous damage causing animals are identified and described.

• ·         
  For example the behaviour of a common house fly: In colder climates, houseflies survive only with humans. They have a tendency to aggregate and are difficult to dispel. They are capable of carrying over 100 pathogens, such as typhoid, cholera, salmonella, bacillary dysentery, tuberculosis, anthrax, ophthalmia, and parasitic worms. Some strains have become immune to most common insecticides.
  House flies feed on liquid or semiliquid substances beside solid material which has been softened by saliva or vomit. Because of their high intake of food, they deposit feces constantly, one of the factors that makes the insect a dangerous carrier of pathogens. Although they are domestic flies, usually confined to the human habitations, they can fly for several miles from the breeding place. They are active only in daytime, and rest at night, e.g., at the corners of rooms, ceiling hangings, cellars, and barns, where they can survive the coldest winters by hibernation, and when spring arrives, adult flies are seen only a few days after the first thaw
  They live at least one week..
  Like rats and mice as well , as their behavior can be estimated by recording behavior and movement .
  Caracals are also damage causing animals as they feed on farming animals etc, Adult caracals dwell either alone or, less commonly, in pairs. Females inhabit relatively small home ranges, varying from 5 to 57 square kilometres (1.9 to 22 sq mi), depending on the local availability of prey. While the females actively defend their territory against other females, the males roam over much larger areas of 19 to 220 square kilometres (7.3 to 85 sq mi) with considerable overlap.
  Like other cats, caracals scent mark their territory. They leave their faeces in visible locations, and also mark territory by spraying urine onto bushes or logs, or raking it into the ground with their hind feet.^[8]
  Caracals hunt by stalking their prey, approaching within about 5 metres (16 ft) before suddenly sprinting and leaping. They kill smaller prey with a bite to the nape of the neck, and larger animals by biting the throat and then raking with their claws. Caracals sometimes cover their larger prey if they cannot consume the whole carcass in a single meal, and return to it later. Some have even been observed to hide carcasses in trees.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

An overview is given of regulations arising out of legislation applicable to game removal operations as it applies to non-dangerous damage causing animals.

·          

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Assist in control measures for non-dangerous damage causing animals within the area of operation.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Trapping and baiting techniques used during control operations relating to non-dangerous damage causing animals are applied as per organisational requirements.

·         Trapping- a trapping method is used to catch the animal and to re locate or move animal out of area that is unwanted.

·         Baiting- Bait is set out to lure animals into “trap” and in that way move or re locate!

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Control measures are maintained to provide assistance in the capturing of non-dangerous damage causing animals.

·         Non-dangerous methods are used to capture animal in no way to harm or kill that animal but only to move or relocate such as: a cage with a trip wire or pressure plate to trigger the exit door to close.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Poisons, sprays and/or biological agents are applied in accordance with applicable legislation and manufacturer's instructions.

·         To control these non dangerous problem causing animals you can control it in three ways:

1.      Poisons- Usually used in red billed quileas because their so densed populated there is no other way but to poison them via airplane(over nesting site) other animals may be killed in this process but the majority will be the target.(all these dead birds wuill be cleaned via MAN POWER!!!! And preferably dumped and burned at a safe place.

2.      Sprays- You can use E.M to spray dustbins,drains,public areas to remove smell and when you remove smell flies will not be attracted and so wont cats,dogs and other animals. This process will also influence fly population as this mixture hardens egg shells and larvea cant get out fast enough and their wings wont develop to the fullest.

3.      Biological- Add another animal or plant source that will out compete(but not take over) the problem animal for instance jackal is a caracals biggest rival so more jackal must be more than caracals to “drive” caracal of the farm instead of shooting caracal then jackal takes over or other way around!! (fight with your brain not your gun!!)

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

Breeding sites are limited to control certain species.

·         Find and locate breeding sites to remove re-populating problem causing animals, and make sure to use appropriate methods to do so.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3

Carry out skinning, disposal, preservation and other procedures to remove carcasses of animals.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Assistance is provided in the carrying out of skinning, disposal and other procedures as it relates to the disposal of carcasses.

·         Carcasses should be disposed off appropriately, when an animal is poisend burn it, when it was killed biologically the skin can be used as carpets or other medicinal uses or carcass can be taken to a taxidermy to be stuffed and be put up as a trophy. Meat can also be used to feed other animals such as a vulture restaurant!!

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Assistance is given in the preservation of carcasses as per operational requirements.

• ·          Formaline can be used to preserve safely.
• Jam jars is also a alternative method to use. 
• Communicating with your community help the process of gathering information and gaining assistance with your problem animals.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 4

Assist in community interactions.

·         When a community is educated about these problems in the future people will use the appropriate methods to deal with the problem animals. Also its easier to influence a child rather than an adult. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Assistance is rendered in communicating with the local community in addressing problem animal incidents.

·         Education will lead to future progress and wont take immidiate effect but in some cases children can convinse their parents to use the right and appropriate methods.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Information is gathered from local communities as it relates to problem animals.

·         Find out how much your local community knows about the problems that occure by doing a survey and from there on you can figure out a plan to deal with inappropriate actions against these legislations.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Assistance is rendered in addressing problems with non-dangerous damage causing animals through the dissemination of information.

·          Implementing the most effective methods to use and the problems associated , identify the pro’s and con’s.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

Assistance is rendered in the educating of local communities about damage causing animals.

·          Share with the community the results of the methods used and the eefectiveness and educate them on how minimal disadvantages can be rendered.
