This is in Western Australia, this is an insidious poison, banned in all countries except Australia and New Zealand.
It should be banned here. There has been absolutely NO news item on any of the media about this.
Considering the toxicity one would assume the public would be made aware

Crossroads Dingo Rescue
On the 30 Nov we posted a video of a dingo x seen hanging around a pizza shop in the High Wycome area
We have since been asked why we did not attempt to encourage and entrap him in the pizza shop by administering a drug in food
As was suggested by others .
Assessing all scenarios
The dingo x showed no sign of distress,
Well fed
Was he at risk on the road ? He appeared road wise
To embark on a try and catch mission perhaps could have created a flight fight response
To have requested the shop owner to remove all patrons whilse one attempts to entice said dingo x in to unfamiliar area creating entrapment, again flight or fight response
Lost earnings to shop and risk factor for employees and any patrons
Due to flight fight could take hours for meds to take affect if at all
The drugs being Acepromazol
Anti psychotic drug once used on humans
Now used on animals
Usually as pre med prior to anesthetic
On vets advice ( with over 40 years experience )
The drug has been found to be unreliable
When dealing with dingo one would need to be cautious when administering drugs
Common result with dingo is adrenalin kicks in fighting said drugs
When feeling defenseless they become defensive .
Weight of animal is imperative when administering drugs ( how acurate could one be when attempting to guess weight of said animal )
Adverse effect is known when using this drug on dingoes
I will not use drugs on a dingo, when medical history unknown
Many are already on prozac endone and endep or other
The responsibility of administering a drug to an animal that may not be lost or dumped
Is a risk when one understands the danger of such drugs and the side affects known to be associated with these drugs .
We do not have the financial resourse to embark on a unknown mission
We do not have holding facilities, foster homes to encroach on
We do not agree with foster for dingoes having intolerance to many changes intolerance to unfamiliar territory
We however could do with a reliable van in which we can do high kilometer rescue missions .
However what others do is their business what we do here is the priority and safety of the animal and is our business .

Handy information .
IF YOU HAVE LOST OR FOUND A PET, THESE ARE THE FIRST STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE!
LOST OR FOUND A PET? ALWAYS CONTACT THE RANGER FIRST!
If your pet is missing, contact your local Vet clinic to notify them in case someone brings it in.
Go to the website of petaddress.com.au to make sure that your pets microchip contact details are up to date and then phone the registry the microchip is listed with and ask them to ‘flag’ the chip as missing.
Contact us to make up a post for you, with a photo, relevant information and contact details.
If you find a pet, have it scanned by a Ranger or Vet clinic as soon as possible, then contact us to make up a post for you with a photo, relevant information and contact details.
Please remember that if you find a pet you must notify a Ranger straight away. Do not take it upon yourself to withhold this information as it will only slow down the process of getting the pet home as soon as possible.
Once you have posted for either a lost or found pet please make sure you comment on the post so you can be tagged if any information comes to hand and also make sure you are checking both your PM inbox and your phone messages in case someone has tried to pass on information.
Finally, please show your gratitude to all the people that share the information about lost pets by keeping in contact with updates on the post and of course the good news when owner and pet are reunited!
Thank you
(Michelle)
