Feral Dogs Invade Australia's Cities
Formerly a rural problem, wild packs are spreading disease and killing pets.
Roaming like hungry street gangs, packs of feral dogs are increasingly showing up in urbanized Australia. Various news reports out of the country's eastern coast say that packs of wild and sometimes vicious canines are finding their way into suburbs and cities.
Packs of wild dogs and dingoes have long been a problem in Australia, especially in rural areas where farmers have found packs devouring cattle. But with a booming population, the dogs are moving into new territory.
