Sharpshooters hunting up to 100 feral dogs
About 100 feral dogs are estimated to be roaming the Far North, with sharpshooters keeping vigil over one farm where dozens of animals have been mauled.
Last week, more than 120 ewes and lambs were killed at the Nilsson s property near Cape Reinga.
Over the weekend, volunteers from across the region headed to the farm to help try to eliminate the dogs. Anne-Marie Nilsson said the support had been incredible.
They tried to flush the dogs out of a section of forest where the animals were believed to have been living, but she said the volunteers did not manage to get any.
