We have Hyaenas and Jackals?

A few days ago, I received a slightly disturbing e-mail which was sent out to a wide number of people within the camp. The e-mail stated there was a problem with Hyaenas, Jackals and dogs around the camp. There were concerns of rabies, so humane traps had been placed in the camp to catch them. It further stated that someone had been springing these traps after there was already something in it, and was at times even vandalizing the traps. This generated several thoughts:

1. We have possibly rabid hyaenas and jackals around here?
2. Who would be stupid enough to open a trap with a hyaena or jackal in it?!
3. What would life be like if we had thumbs on both sides of our hands? What? Oh yeah, hyaenas.

Funny quote of the day: "Damn, and I thought I was ugly! Son, you look like you been beat with a bag of nickels."
