Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas –
The 502nd Civil Engineer Squadron works hard to insure the base population and visitors have a memorable experience while working or visiting Joint Base San Antonio.
One task they are assigned is the control of stray and roaming animals within the confines of JBSA perimeter fencing.
The members of the 502nd Civil Engineer Operations Flight understand that all animals should be treated in a humane nature. When trapping animals for removal, they use live traps and try to ensure not only the safety of the base population, but the safety of the animal as well.
It is difficult to mitigate the presence of stray and roaming animals when they have found a food source being replenished by base residents or visitors. Refrain from feeding any animal that does not belong to you or that is running wild on JBSA. This is for your safety and the safety of the animal.
Many of these animals may be diseased or pest-ridden and require medical care or just a better living situation. Contact with these animals can become a negative experience for both the animal and the person.
If stray or roaming animals are seen on any JBSA location, call the 502nd CES customer support line at 671-5555 to report the location and type of animal.
