The jackal is a daring and brave animal, and in places where it is not pursued, less cautious and not afraid of people. It is easily caught in traps or envenomed with poison bait. Many instances are known, when, within sight of people, it attacked a domestic fowl, and regardless of the shouts and pursuit, takes it off. From field camps and from houses it drags off various objects, which it thinks to be edible, such as leather, boots, rags, venturing to steal them just a few steps from sleeping people.
