Lee Allen - introduction

Lee Allen is a Senior Zoologist at the Robert Wicks Pest Animal Research Centre, Biosecurity Queensland. This video is an introduction to Lee's series of videos on wild dog trapping in the mulga and cyprus woodlands of pastoral Queensland around the Toowoomba region. Wild dogs prey on livestock such as sheep, cattle and goats, in some cases to such an extent that they can threaten the economic viability of properties. Wild dogs prey on a variety of animals including mammals, birds and reptiles of all sizes from insects to water buffalo. They have been implicated in the decline of several species, both historically and in the recent past. More information: http://www.feral.org.au/pestsmart/
