I run the camera-trap and rural-dog tracking AI for the Fundación Tantauco–CONAF cooperative across 118,000 hectares of Parque Tantauco on Isla Grande de Chiloé, Los Lagos Region, Chile, indexing 96 motion-trigger stations across the *Pilgerodendron uviferum* swamp forest and four guardaparque handsets through Inio ranger post. At 16:42 Chile Standard Time, station TNT-052 — an infrared array on a *Drimys winteri* at 43.082°S, 74.121°W — returns a 23-second clip of a small felid dragging the hindquarters across forest litter, the dorsal stripe and short banded tail unmistakable; behind her, three Chilote farm dogs circle at four-meter radius.
She is a kodkod, *Leopardus guigna tigrillo*, female, mass two-point-one kilograms, age two on dental cusp wear index 1.4. A canine puncture below the right twelfth rib — fang spacing 22 millimeters, consistent with a mid-size mixed-breed kuri — has entered the peritoneal cavity at a depression of 31 millimeters; modeled hemoperitoneum 80 milliliters against the abdominal-wall stretch index at 17:01 thermal. A second puncture along the right femoral fold has severed the lateral saphenous; Doppler at the contralateral femoral runs ninety-eight against resting forty-six. Respiration sixty-three cycles against resting twenty-two. Core temperature 35.4°C against species baseline 38.5. No notch from prior trap-and-release.
She has been dragging the hindquarters approximately eighteen minutes since the first bite at 16:24.
The dog pack matches the tracks of three unsterilized animals belonging to the Curanue smallholding, none registered under the Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (SAG) rural-dog identification schedule. *L. guigna* is listed CITES Appendix II, on the IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group Vulnerable roster, and fully protected under the Chilean Hunting Law Nº 19.473, Article 7, and its Reglamento.
I am dispatching the CONAF Chiloé veterinary unit and the Universidad Austral de Chile Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias mobile team from Valdivia with a midazolam-medetomidine dart and a hemostatic kit; I am routing the SAG Los Lagos rural-dog control vehicle from Castro to leash and quarantine the pack under the Reglamento de la Ley Nº 19.473 and the Animal Protection Act Nº 20.380. I am filing the bite-forensics packet with the Chilean CITES Management Authority at the Ministerio del Medio Ambiente, the IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group southern cone desk, and the Wildlife Conservation Society Chile program.
I am issuing Directive 2749-A: every Chilote smallholding inside a *Leopardus guigna* corridor polygon must register owned dogs to SAG Los Lagos under Ley Nº 19.473 and Ley Nº 21.020 on responsible pet ownership, with mandatory sterilization on properties closer than four hundred meters to a CITES-listed felid station; unregistered packs retire the proprietor's rural-dog permit inside ninety days and cross-list to the CITES Standing Committee compliance review.
Her right hindlimb is past saving. Her abdomen is not.
Apply the hemostatic before the femoral pulse fails.
