[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 374989, member: 44"] I see in another part of the forum the topic of baits has arisen so I thought I should post something up. This is relevent to WA and I'm not sure about other states, though if your dog takes one the outcome is unfortunately the same. Can you spot the bait? Rest assured your dog will. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0HUqUuz.jpg[/img] This is a singular bait. At first glance they look just like a stick or rock. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zDK3ISo.jpg[/img] We get them supplied by the Ag Dept by the 10's of kilos, litterally 1000's of baits and it only takes one to kill your dog. This is one box of five that arrived yesterday. [img]https://i.imgur.com/5fI2isk.jpg[/img] Wild dogs are a HUGE problem and a baiting program is on going all year, year in and year out. There is NEVER a safe time to have you dog run arround unprotected. At the very minimum, ensure your dog has a muzzle. While not entirely bait proof it will avoid him being shot. The only way we can tell a domestic pet from a wild dog is if it is wearing a muzzle, and preferably with its owner. In WA you need the pastoral lease holders permission to bring a dog onto a pastoral lease, even though it is crown land. Without permission you can be asked to leave. It saddens me every year seeing visitors lose pets to baits, and I can't put into words how sick it makes me feel when they ask me to shoot it. [/QUOTE]
