In Moung Ruessei district, Battambang province, villagers killed four jackals in separate incidents after the animals left flooded forest, entered a village and bit residents, according to the report. Tonle Sap flooding had inundated their habitat.
The source describes jackals as relatively common and lists their IUCN Red List category as Least Concern (LC), while noting threats from trapping and loss of feeding and living habitat.
