Yes Leon,the dogs can cause a quite a bit of damage,most graziers and land holders of these large properties,do not mind the odd one or two dogs about,but at the moment they are in large numbers.So a reduction in their numbers is needed.I use humane rubber jaw traps with suspension springs-these are very modern and far more humane than old traps,and poision baits.
I do not approve of any unnessary cruelty to any animals,and any vermin I have to dispatch is done so very quickly.All the land holders properties I visit and camp on will not tolerate inhumane treatment either.
But I do enjoy the challenge,ol graziers tease me that I will not get the big calf killer,(all tongue in check),but this cunning female was just as hard to catch up with.
