Yes 1080 baits can be the demise of the family pet for sure, now to cut through some of the bs, 1. dingoes don't bark, 2. you can traverse national parks with your dog, as long as it doesn't leave the vehicle, if necessary, the dog requires a comfort stop, you will need to bag the waste and dispose of it in an appropriate manner outside the national park, we have travelled all over tnis big country of ours with the girls and never had a problem. Our dogs are under voice control, but being a lab, they will eat anything, so be very wary of what they consume, 1080 baits can be carried klms from were they were laid by birds. We have done the big lap twice and Cape York 46 times and as said never had a problem, I would rather camp near someone who has animals than screaming kids, and for the record, my dogs don't use nappies, the disposable ones you find everywhere, they dont drink beer and leave the cans or stubbies in a fire or lying around and ive never caught them smoking behind the landcruiser so the don't leave cigarette butts everywhere. Take your dog and enjoy the experience regardless of the nay sayers.
