In light of the recent bear attacks, countermeasures against wildlife damage have become an urgent issue. Telemetry, traditionally used to study the behavior of wild animals, plays an important role. However, conventional methods involve temporarily immobilizing wild animals with tranquilizer guns and attaching transmitters to collars, which presents various difficulties, including the need for legally mandated qualifications and permits. This invention aims to simplify this process and serve as a powerful measure to prevent wildlife damage. [Solution] This invention proposes attaching a telemetry transmitter to a wild animal using an ankle band, rather than a collar, utilizing the technology of animal restraint devices developed in recent years, and then releasing the animal. The transmitter closes its circuit and starts transmitting as soon as it is attached, transmitting necessary information, and the system is configured to issue warning information for the time the wild animal moves within a certain distance of the receiver.
