When it comes to sheep in the Rangelands, WA, when is a 'good' dog a 'bad' dog? Is it really about dogs, or is there a bigger picture we need to be looking at when we decide what needs killing on pastoral country. Amanda muses on the language, politics and economics of baiting dogs and gets a bit of a head's up from some scientific data to support her arguments about restoring balance across the whole of the landscape, for the benefit of all life, rather than giving most of the airtime to those still messing around in the areas of exclusion and destruction.
