Wild Dogs Survey
NSW Farmers is receiving member reports of increased wild dogs across a number of areas of the state. The recent wet weather is expected to contribute to a dramatic increase in wild dog numbers and NSW Farmers is lobbying the NSW Government to ensure all possible practical measures are implemented in a timely fashion to manage the problem. To ensure we have up-to-date information on wild dog numbers in your region so that we can request appropriate response measures for your area, we would be grateful if you could please complete the following short survey.
