WILD DOGS ATTACKS CODE

Ensuring such approaches are uniformly applied as management practices requires the development of agreed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for pest animal control. An ethical approach to pest control includes the recognition of and attention to the welfare of all animals affected directly or indirectly by control programs. While the ecological and economic rationales for the control of pests such as the wild dog are frequently documented, little attention has been paid to the development of an ethical framework in which these pests are controlled. Consideration of animal suffering should occur regardless of the status given to a particular pest species or the extent of the damage or impact created by that pest. The most humane methods that will achieve the control program’s aims must be used. There is an expectation that animal suffering associated with pest management be minimised. The COP should only be used subject to the applicable legal requirements (including OH&S) operating in the relevant jurisdiction. Jurisdictions can apply more stringent requirements as long as they retain the principles set out in these codes.

WILD DOGS ATTACKS CODE

This code of practice (COP) is adopted nationally. Control programs aim to reduce the negative impacts of wild dogs using the most humane, target specific, cost effective and efficacious techniques available. The aim of this code of practice is to provide information and recommendations to vertebrate pest managers responsible for the control of wild dogs.
