The ignorance of these ill informed green-washers and "animal rights" people is absolutely staggering. As a frequent visitor and part time farm hand on a cattle station in the high country of Victoria, I have seen first hand the callous and viscous attacks these packs of wild dogs make on cattle. I have been approached by packs on several occasions. Any whinging, hand-wringing greenie who thinks these are innocent little puppy dogs should take a walk around down there and see for themselves the blood thirsty carnage they inflict on stock and native wildlife. The dogs are huge. They are more like hyenas than your neighborhood mutt. They operate in silent packs, capable of taking down large cattle, often mauling countless heifers and attacking calves as they are being born. They are fearless, mangy, and aggressive. And anyone who suggests a fence will help solve the problem is proving beyond all reasonable doubt that they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Anyone with a dog at home knows the lengths one must go to keep your average dog from digging under or jumping over the fence. And that is with an ordinary, tame, lovable family dog, in an ordinary, backyard setting. We are talking about huge feral dogs, in untamable terrain, over thousands of square kilometres. If you're going to preach about something, I suggest you gain a little knowledge or experience on the subject matter first. And before you blame the farmers and put these feral animals first, think about how it would feel if a pest animal was coming into your yard and attacking your pets, mauling them to death for no apparent reason, destroying your livelihood, costing you tens of thousands of dollars each year and threatening your safety. I'll tell you what you'd do: like anyone in that situation; you'd shoot them. Pull your heads in and be reasonable. Or would you prefer to see hundreds of innocent calves violently mauled to death as they're being born and left to die? Or perhaps you would prefer the native animals such as kangaroos, wallabies and wombats to be wiped out? Wild dogs are a violent, dangerous and unnatural pest. Something needs to be done about them, but wringing our hands and finding flowery, inconclusive "solutions" like "building a fence" is certainly not the answer. Perhaps you should "build a bridge", get over it, or take a short holiday into the real world where the products you rely on, actually come from.
Livestock farmers are just killing dingoes so that their sheep or cows don't get hurt, so they are worth more when they have to be slaughtered for someones stupid freaking lunch! URGH! MAKES ME MAAD!!
