Crazy isnt it!? Some hunts people get 100-200 foxes and wild dogs in a day, and not over a large area. It can be really overwhelming for some, but you really have to think about all the wildlife and livestock those foxes have taken.Quote:

We don't get dingo's here But I have had to shoot a couple of stray dogs that though that mauling lambs was a good idea at the time.
While illegal in most National Parks including WA, reserves, forrests etc have different rules.
Personally if the dog is behaved and when around other groups on a lead I cant see the problem.
However if it is not being looked after and its owners are irresponsible or the its all right mentality it can be a different issue.
I would love to be able to take our dog with us into parks.
I also do get there are some very sensitive areas where not appropriate.
Also get if the dog is allowed to chase wild animals.
The reality is most dogs and owners are ok and responsible, it is the few that cause the total bans.
We have issues with pig hunters around where I work and their dogs, which are also banned in water catchment areas, but these guys think it is their god given right to hunt in the catchment areas and also play chicken with haul trucks from time to time.
Interesting, very arrogant attitude, but also entitled to her opinion.Quote:

We could say the same about any pet.
I find dogs more useful, with more integrity and intelligence than most humans to be honest.
Do humans serve any real purpose, in context we could ask the same question about us? We are the most destructive of all animals.
Since having the suburbs built on my boundary weve been getting cats, had a few wild ones that I've picked off. The last one terrorised my birds while i was away and gave them a heart attack...got him 2nd night i was home. He was a young fetal but he was huge! Driving around last night I spotted 2 really young cats running around the old wheat field, both ran to the same house and both had collars on. People just dont get it, they live next to a farm and let their cats roam around or let them go stray. Same for people living near parks they continue to let their cats out. My wife has a cat who only comes out with her when she does the animals and he stays with her, all other times hes locked in the house.Quote:
