Wild dogs (including feral dogs, dingoes and their hybrids) are a major problem throughout Australia because they maul and kill livestock, prey on native fauna (such as koalas), spread some diseases, and they can pose a threat to humans. The damage caused by wild dogs is estimated at $66.3 million annually, and their management costs farmers and government organisations millions of dollars annually.
