Got a phone call last night from one of the large property owners around me to say that they had just done a group baiting and to keep an eye on my dog . They are having trouble with packs of dogs tearing the udders from the live cows , one cow had half it's face ripped off and had to be put down . When there are thousands of acres of scrub and hundreds of wild dogs killing everything in sight , poison is the ONLY option . 1080 is the only thing keeping these packs down , it has been cleverly made . An Eagle needs to find at least 3 buried baits to harm it . Gianna's don't seem to be affected by it . On the certificate that comes with it , it states that a dog , after eating a bait , will go back to it's den and go to sleep and die while asleep . Immediately after coming in contact with soil (the baits are buried) the bait starts breaking down . After a couple of weeks , the bait is nothing more than a nutrient in the soil . It is easy to say "No Poison" but imagine trying to eradicate Hundreds of Thousands of feral dogs Australia wide by shooting and trapping alone ? And every pregnant ***** you miss will add another 6 or so to the number .
