Feral animals as pesky as ever
30 Nov 2005
A parliamentary inquiry found feral pigs, wild dogs, cats and rabbits were the most destructive pests in Australia. Feral deer, camels, foxes and horses also posed significant problems. The inquiry found Australia had up to 23 million feral pigs, more than 300,000 feral camels, with the population doubling every eight years, and an estimated 300,000 feral horses. There were 12 million feral cats, but the report gave no estimate of the number of feral dogs.
