"People in the Gascoyne and parts of the Mid West are being urged to exercise caution in the area, with wild-dog baiting taking place during October. The Carnarvon Rangelands Biosecurity Association will use 1080 meat baits across pastoral leases in Carnarvon, Exmouth, Murchison, Shark Bay and Upper Gascoyne, while some areas in Northampton and near Mullewa have also been included. The association is asking residents and travellers to consider the land under which this is carried out as having toxic bait year-round and to take care when working or visiting within these areas. Pets should be kept under control at all times, and on a lead to avoid the baits. According to the association, baiting is key to managing wild dogs while helping the land holders. Pastoralists undertake these programs to protect their livestock from wild dogs. No antidote is available for 1080 baits if poisoning occurs. Residents seeking more information should contact the Carnarvon Rangelands Biosecurity Association executive officer on 0417 183 705."
