It is complicated Darwin...Farmers use poison (Lanate) to kill the foxes and dogs that attack their goats and sheep. The dogs often having been let free by owners that simply don't want them...So sometimes people out walking their dogs have them poisoned by the meat left out by farmers...But pet dogs are also poisoned at home - by meat thrown into the garden. My mate's (and next-but-two neighbour) two dogs were poisoned in the garden while we were there - it was ghastly...It is quite a frequent occurrence...God knows what goes through the minds of people that would put an animal through such a terrible ordeal... Understood. As I said I don't know the local practices. Sheep/goat protection is a problem everywhere but a remote injection of lead is the usual answer, and very quick.Indeed...Problem here is that the sheep/goat roam over a vast area... They don't keep them penned "because it is easier to steal them all" and of course they don't have to feed them if they are helping themselves to everything in my garden...Lead injection and freezer in that case.
