My dogs aren't feral

[Press]

(Bitching about the anti's time)

A mate of mine has a property we camp out at times and clear out the foxes, bunnies and occasional wild dog.

Outside of that, hunting comes up in conversation from time to time as it did today, and I was getting some bizarre looks from one of the workmates who knew I had a pair of pooches myself.

To paraphrase his comments, he couldn't accept the fact I can love my dogs and shoot a feral one. He's got it in his head that I must begrudgingly have the dogs and not want them and (without saying the words) suggested I'm all but neglecting them. He said maybe I should give them up to someone who'll enjoy caring for them more.

What a &*^%$^ idiot.

He's welcome to come out to the farm any time and give one of the ferals a nice scratch on the chin and see how much it appreciates his affection as far as I'm concerned. Because all dogs are the same, they must be as friendly as my two, right.

I guess your stupid work friend does not understand what a feral dog, wild dog will in to calves and lambs. Your pets are trained and not wold, massive difference. Get a photo of a killed young 1 day old lamb by a wild dog, he will then understand the massive difference, same as a house cat and wild cat, one perhaps was once, but no more, they kill 3-4 birds each per night. Some people never learn, never understand the difference between, domestic and wild, because few people have ever seen the results of a wild dog kill.

…and a fresh one, this one copped a bullet from my .30-06 in the guts.

Are they old pics mate?, sure I've seen them years ago on Landline or something similar.

Couple of years old but shows the problems farmers in N/E Vic and southern NSW are facing. They are still a big problem.

Good on ya.

I would so love to be able to do this one one of the properties I shoot on, but I would have animal libbers and all sorts of bother. The property is within a long shot of a small town and I shoot three or four every year. They aren't proper wild dogs but pets that are allowed to roam who kill for the fun of it.

I can often supply a collar with all the details that some considerate owner has engraved in case their dog gets lost(They would be better chaining it up in the first place). Some of them are nice dogs too, it is a shame.

You have to educate the idiots at times, once upon a time we called our pets domesticated animals, ferals are not domesticated pets they are wild feral animals.

Wild dogs are a huge problem that are being blamed for our decline in sheep farming, lots of info on the web about this.

Here is a video of wild dogs having kangaroo for dinner,the kangaroos do alright against a lone dingo they don't have much luck against the bigger stronger wild mongrel breeds of ferals.

That vid: 1min20sec: Boom.... two in one. If only!

They knew they were being watched but didn't care, too keen on the kill.

It's not a good idea to discuss such things in the workplace . You could make trouble for yourself if the boss thinks just like your stupid workmate and many do.
Keep clear of that idiot and tell him nothing in future .

If those dogs with collars and microchips are roaming around killing they are feral.

Shoot them…with extreme prejudice and a big caliber…not a .22.

This is the head of a wallaby that I shot only minutes after the feral dog that was attacking it was also shot.

The feral dog had also broken the wallaby's right hind limb.

If the wallaby had only had its ears torn off it would have survived ok, but with a broken limb, I decided to euthanize it.

I suppose if the green brigade "knob jockeys" decide to chase me because of this pic, I'll be in trouble, but these do gooders need to see what happens in the REAL world.

They are still a big problem.

Getting bigger too.

I watched a bit on some farmers that bought a few llamas to protect the sheep from the dogs, and the dogs got bold enough to kills the llamas instead.

A bullet's the only thing they can't beat

[Bourt]

these do gooders need to see what happens in the REAL world.

They'd need to live here first.
