Gryphon, I'm not sure what the Victorian authorities attitude, to Graziers having suppressors is?
I know we have finally been able to drag the NSW ones(Kickin and Squealin all the bloody way), into the 21st Century.
Anyway Gryph, you know who to call if you can get a permit.

Regards
Homer

I spoke with a lady from Launceston this morning.(Monday) Saturday night she had 30 sheep and 5 alpacas killed by domestic dogs on a killing frenzy. She spent Sunday shooting injured ewes that had their unborn lambs torn out. They don't have to be Dingos or wild dogs to cause damage.

On the home front ,I walked out the back door on Saturday and say the neighbours Kelpie going up the tree line in the back paddock where I had ewes and lambs, so I grabbed the hornet and went after him but he made it home before I could get to him so I drove around to my neighbours place and told him that I'll shoot him next time he sets foot on the place. Neighbour wasn't real happy about it .

Was the dog actually bothering the sheep though?

John.
I don't have a dog, therefore my sheep are unused to seeing one.They were getting nervous and starting to move away and as you are aware once either party starts to run nothing but trouble follows.

If the neighbour doesn't curtail the dogs movements on your joint you have every right to barrel it.

Kelpies are one of the worst offenders as they will round sheep up,corner them and the sheep will often die of smothering.

You are correct Gryphon.Under the current Tasmanian Dog act and its current ammendments a landowner has the right to shoot any dog found on his property.

Might be true for Tasmania and some other states. Not true at all in some states, eg SA. Where the dog must be harassing sheep or stock. I know of one person successfully sued for shooting a dog just crossing a paddock nowhere near stock.

On some other Aust forums the impression is given such state laws eg as Tasmania and maybe Vic have, apply everywhere. Just correcting any such impression on NE.

Monday morning feral cat number 63 entered the record book with 2-22s in the back of the head.I always give them 2. The first one to settle their nerves and the second to make sure the bastard is dead.
In Tasmania there is a huge problem with Toxoplasmosis which causes sheep to abort usually two weeks before full term.Therefore feral cat trapping is a popular form of ridding the state of cats.
