  1. Five dogs are suspected to have killed a man and injured another on a large NSW rural property

    What is the responsibility of the pet owner?
    What has the council done about unregistered roaming and barking pets?
    Could it be that a pedestrian/ bushwalker was unintentionally entering "the 117-hectare rural property" ?

    "Five dogs suspected of fatally attacking a man at a property in Sydney's south-west will be euthanased. NSW Police said the man suffered injuries consistent with being attacked by animals...Police were investigating if the man was an intruder." >>

    #ABCNews - How is 'the panoramic view' of the real estate relevant to a human being being ripped apart by five canines?

    Mauled to death by unregistered and unchipped roaming pets ? >>

  5. Preventing dog attacks through pet owner competencies - A licence for dogs owners

    According to scientific studies, the problem with biting incidents lies not with the dogs themselves, but at the other end of the leash.

    Stricter dog ownership laws are currently a major focus in New South Wales. Following a series of fatal dog attacks and coronial inquests, there are mounting recommendations to introduce mandatory dog licenses and specialised education for owners.

  7. Dumped wildlife and
    depressed and suicidal vets: excessive workloads and out-of-hours work, unsatisfactory remuneration, client abuse, and unclear regulations.

    A "report found a lack of consistency with local governments and unclear legislation had led to a public perception of vets as "the default drop-off location" for injured wildlife and other found animals, despite the responsibility lying primarily with local and state governments."

    "Six of the 32 recommendations related directly to challenges faced specifically by regional vets, including an "unreasonable level of responsibility" for the care of lost and unowned animals, such as injured wildlife...Wildlife is one of those things that we're all deeply passionate about, that we want to help our native wildlife … but it does come at a strain in the cost to the clinic that is, at this point, not covered at all."

    "Vets say daily abuse and a lack of understanding from clients are one of the biggest factors causing them harm." >>

  13. Let them have dogs

    "Forty-eight percent of Australian households own dogs; to those of us on the outlay for food, treats, toys, grooming, kennels, vets and puppy school, $500 seems like a rare bargain."

    "Australians have always been pet people, but we are now living in the wake of a post-pandemic pet proliferation that between 2019 and 2021 raised the proportion of Australian households with pets from 61% to a goggling 69%, marking the largest increase in decades."

  15. "Australia has a cat problem.
    After being introduced in 1788, feral cats now number between 2.1 – 6.3 million depending on rainfall conditions, and there are another 3.8 million pet cats in our neighbourhoods."

    "Together, they kill over 2 billion animals every single year. Most of those are native. And no matter how much we adore them, we can’t escape the fact that our pet cats that are allowed to roam are responsible for over 500 million of those deaths."

  17. Domestic dogs and Australian wildlife. How dogs impact ecosystems

    "There are five main ways domestic dogs can negatively impact the natural environments they visit. These are:

    direct physical harm through predatory behaviour
    disturbance through chasing and harassment
    increased exposure to diseases
    interbreeding, which can alter the gene pool of wild canid populations
    increased competition for resources.

    We know dogs are capable of injuring and killing wildlife, but it’s difficult to determine how common this is, because many events go unreported. While smaller animals such as lizards, gliders and possums are at higher risk, larger species such as koalas can also fall prey to dogs.

    One study that looked at wildlife coming into care at Queensland rehabilitation centres reported dog attacks as the cause in about 9% of cases. These cases often resulted in severe injury or death.

    Wildlife harassment

    You might think it’s harmless for your dog to chase wildlife if it never manages to catch the animals it chases, but that isn’t true. Wild animals optimise their behaviours to meet their needs for foraging, breeding and resting, and being chased by a dog can disrupt this.

    For example, certain threatened bird species will nest on the beach and find foraging opportunities based on the tides. One dog forcing one bird to abandon this important activity may have a small impact. But if it happens repeatedly throughout the day, it can become a much bigger problem. It may even drive animals out of the area.

    Research conducted in Sydney has shown the mere presence of a leashed dog is enough to temporarily, yet dramatically, reduce the number of bird species detected."
