[jimmy_the_kid]

Hey peoples i just seen on the telly channle win that there putting a bounty on wild dogs heads. was just wondering where do the aps members stand on this. I thought it might be a good idear for cain toads but then people would probley start breeding toads i guess the same can happen with the wild dogs.

The bounty would never be more than $1 for toads and I guarantee you that it wouldn't be economically viable to breed them at this value

If the bounty on dogs is significant, I can see a lot of pets going missing! :shock:

This one has been debated to death, but in my opinion, a bounty would be of very little use, as it would cost an absurd amount of money before any real good was done and would completely wipe out our economy before anything really significant was done. Look at the population of toads, think about their reproductive rate, crunch the numbers. It's not even remotely viable.

Hahahaha.... That be great! I'll just bait my very large "rat" trap with cat food and take it down to my friends place in Sydney. I'll be rich!

Bounty has come about from wild dogs killing livestock and denting the income of farmers.
Im all for it cos it will have a roll on effect in protecting native wildlife.

I think that in the country(where most wild dogs are) you wont find too many pure breed wilddogs. Try bringing a dead poodle to the dept of conservation and tell em that its a wild dog
Having said that Ive seen what looked like a pure bred black lab in a wild dog pack run down a sheep and disembowel it.

Any dog that is allowed to roam has a possibility of being in a pack.
It has happened before that purebreds attack livestock by this method.
Then they go home and get there normal happy family life while the owners are blissfully unaware of what is happening at night .

Theres lots of wild dogs around here....most are just escaped pig dogs....they don't last long if farmers spot them.
