“…It occasionally has been used in primates in different zoos and rescue centres such as AAP, Sanctuary for Exotic Animals (H. Van Bolhuis, M. Hoyer & M. Wolters, personal communication). The small volume necessary is an advantage, especially in primates, where remote drug delivery systems are often required (Shury 2007).…”

“…Table 1 presents an evaluation of all capture methods used for the livecapture of jaguars and pumas in relation to these considerations, as compared to the potential use of MICS. For the evaluation, I used an approach similar to Shury (2007), which considered the following issues: cost, capture efficiency, portability, potential for injury to animals and selectivity. To this issues, I added others such as human investment, capture efficiency, operational constraints, stress for animals, predation, discovery by humans and risk of injury to people.…”

“…Live-trapping of large wild carnivores involves several challenges, mainly related to: 1) the capturing system used, which may cause unintended and indirect harm to animals such as injuries, stress and the disturbance of ecological processes, such as reproduction or territory maintenance; 2) the safety of researchers and handlers during capture; and 3) trapping effectiveness and logistics, considering affordability and efficiency (Shury 2007, Fraser & MacRae 2011, Ramp & Bekoff 2015. The ideal trapping system should be efficient, selective, compassionate, and safe for both animals and people.…”

Live trapping of large carnivores can have counter-productive effects on the animal's health and postrelease behavior. Nonetheless, trapping may be necessary for scientific inquiry, wildlife management and conservation. Capture methods should be efficient, selective, compassionate, and safe for both animals and people. Here, I review the methods used to capture the largest American felids, jaguars and pumas, and propose the use of a minimally invasive capture system (MICS). The device consists of a blowgun remotely controlled by means of cameras and a swiveling 2-way pan-tilt head. The blowgun is monitored by video camera and triggered from a distance of up to 400 m and is capable of shooting darts with high accuracy at distances of about 12 m. This method was developed a decade ago but has not been used despite clear advantages over traditional methods. The use of a MICS can be cheaper, lower in human investment, higher in efficiency and selectivity, and safer and more compassionate than the traditional methods used. The main disadvantages are related to manufacturing, as it must be custom built made by a specialized professional. In addition, any adjustments or repairs must also be handled by a specialist. Nevertheless, these challenges should not discourage the use of MICS, as ethical considerations are of growing importance worldwide when working with wild species. The use of MICS for the live-capture of wild jaguars and pumas (or other medium and large carnivores) deserves further consideration, testing, and discussion. ResumenLa captura de grandes carnívoros vivos puede tener efectos contraproducentes sobre la salud del animal y su comportamiento posterior cuando se libera. No obstante, la captura puede ser necesaria para la investigación científica, la gestión o la conservación de las especies involucradas. Los métodos de captura deben ser eficientes, selectivos, compasivos y seguros tanto para los animales como para las personas. En este artículo se revisan los métodos utilizados para capturar jaguares y pumas, y se propone el uso de un sistema de captura mínimamente invasivo (MICS). El dispositivo consiste en una cerbatana controlada a distancia por medio de cámaras, y es capaz de disparar dardos con alta precisión a distancias de hasta 12 m. Este método se desarrolló hace una década, pero no se ha utilizado a pesar de las claras ventajas con respecto a los métodos tradicionales. El uso de MICS puede ser más económico, necesitar de menor inversión humana, tener mayor eficiencia y selectividad, y ser más seguro y compasivo que los métodos tradicionales. Las principales desventajas están relacionadas con la fabricación, ya que debe ser hecha por un profesional especializado, y cualquier ajuste o reparación debe ser realizada por un especialista. Sin embargo, estos desafíos no deben desalentar el uso de MISC, ya que las consideraciones éticas tienen una importancia creciente a nivel mundial cuando se trabaja con especies silvestres. El uso de MICS para la captura en vivo de jaguares y pumas (u otros carnívo...
