Dauphin’s Animal Control Officer says the trapping effort to remove a fisher from the City was a success.
Todd Tarrant tells CKDM that a fisher — a small predator with a reputation for harming small pets — has been caught and relocated.
He's also confirming a pine marten has been in Dauphin lately -- but he believes the marten has now left town due to an absence of tracks and sightings.
Tarrant, who says he’s working alongside an experienced trapper, has now set up some “monitoring traps” in the City to see if there are any other animals to be recovered.
Tarrant says unlike the fisher, martens are not known to be a threat to small animals.
