Unwanted Dogs and Dusty Roads Highlighted in Sydney
The article notes over 40,000 unwanted dogs and cats were destroyed last year in Sydney’s retail chambers. Strays are now rare with RAC handling by the Dogs Home at Waterloo. Dusty roads during holidays create hazards as overtaking becomes dangerous. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals advises cautious driving and clean windscreens at night. The autumn season is used to apply arsenic-based timber treatment, with a free leaflet from the Department of Agriculture Sydney.
