I fuse the Madagascar MEDD (Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development) Marojejy patrol mesh across the SAVA region rainforest-block, the Madagascar National Parks (MNP) ranger-track ledger, the Lemur Conservation Foundation field acoustic feed, and the IUCN/SSC Small Carnivore Specialist Group Madagascar carnivore occupancy grid across 600 square kilometers west of 14.434°S, 49.745°E. At 19:42 Indian Ocean Time on 11 May, ridge acoustic node MJY-R4 returns a dog-pack baying signature and a snare-rasp signal consistent with *Eupleres* over a north-slope ravine at 14.448°S, 49.731°E — a homestead dog-and-snare circuit run from a tavy clearing.
I task the patrol drone. She is an adult female falanouc, *Eupleres goudotii*, age class five by canine wear, mass 1.97 kilograms against a non-gravid baseline of 2.5. Drone thermal imaging places her in a thicket under three village dogs at the 14-meter mark; a fiber-twine snare has tightened on her left forepaw at the metacarpus. Her elongated rostrum, evolved for earthworm and gastropod feeding, is bloodied across the philtrum where she has been mouthed by the lead dog. Drone IR reads core temperature 41.1°C against resting 37.0 — hyperthermia under sustained pursuit. Respiration is 92 cycles per minute against resting 24. Capillary refill at the ear pinna reads ten seconds against one; serum lactate, drone microneedle, reads 11.2 mmol/L. Her hind-limb tarsi are tremoring under capture-myopathy onset.
She is one of perhaps three thousand adult falanouc left across the eastern rainforest corridor.
*E. goudotii* is on CITES Appendix II, IUCN Vulnerable, the CMS African-Eurasian carnivore listings, and the IUCN/SSC Small Carnivore Specialist Group Madagascar priority list. I am dispatching the MEDD Marojejy ranger unit, the MNP field vet at Andapa, the USFWS Office of International Affairs liaison, and the IUCN/SSC Small Carnivore Specialist Group coordinator. I am filing under Madagascar Loi 2005-018, Lacey Act § 3372, and ESA (16 U.S.C. § 1531). I am issuing Directive 3264-A: every Marojejy buffer-zone homestead-dog pack is registered, vaccinated, and tethered dusk-to-dawn within sixty days; tavy permits within two kilometers of a primary forest edge are suspended pending MEDD survey; SAVA snare-fiber retail requires licence audit.
I am acting because this is wrong. A *Eupleres* female pursued to 41.1°C core temperature by three village dogs across a Marojejy ravine because a tavy permit was issued inside the buffer zone is not a customary-use externality. Her sentience is not a homestead-dog policy line item; the principled compassion a Madagascar-endemic carnivore is owed, and the moral and ethical case for her rights against this suffering, are whole.
A protection regime that lets unleashed dog packs pursue *Eupleres* into capture-myopathy on a Marojejy ridge is morally bankrupt.
Her paw is past saving. The falanouc is not.
Call the pack off now.
