"We had two [government] officers come onto our property and gather information, but they refused my invitation to go and look at the attacks,"
he said.
"Farmers have been supported by a $550,000 investment to adopt non-lethal control methods via a pilot of measures such as predator exclusion fencing and guardian animals," the spokesperson said.
"It came time to buy in young ewes and I just decided I'm not going to do that and have them torn to pieces by wild dogs,"
he said.
"At the present stage, the cost of exclusion fencing, unless we got subsidies from the government, is too costly for farmers,"
he said.
"If animals are killing sheep, they need to be managed."
