New South Wales graziers have joined a chorus of complaints from Victorian farmers about increasingly savage attacks by wild dogs.
Property owners in the region adjacent to the Kosciusko National Park claim the Government's trapping, baiting and shooting programs aren't working.
In the high country of Victoria, graziers have called for more doggers and increased baiting.
New South Wales wool grower Harley Hedger from Jindabyne has a chilling account of an attack by a 'superdog'...his term for the interbred feral dogs which come out of the forest country to hunt.
Harley Hedger: He come across another mob of sheep which he attacked. He grabbed one wether by the hind leg, near the tail, and just pulled back, and the wether just pulled away and he just pulled out a piece of skin and wool bigger than the palm of my hand. At this stage I have nine unaccounted for, presumed dead or killed or drowned in the river. I had to strip off in the river yeah, up to my waist in water, I mean it was almost zero degrees. I had to lift five out of the river that morning, there was two other wethers badly bitten, one had a hole that you could almost fit a soccer ball in its hind leg.
