Wild Dogs in New South Wales
ABOUT
WARNING: Some images in this book may be distressing to some readers.
Wild dogs in the Tumbarumba region started to become a problem in the early 1970s but became an even bigger problem in the late 1990s. Wild dogs cause problems for farmers. They are also of concern for National Parks, as they can destroy and predate on fauna and sometimes even flora.
Stephen Wilson, a Biosecurity Officer, is responsible for ensuring that private property owners are doing everything they possibly can to control pest animals on their land. “Boots” Ian Eggleton, a Pest Animal Contractor, is involved in baiting, shooting and trapping wild dogs in Kosciusko National Park, Blue Mountains, as well as neighbour boundaries in the area.
