Aggressive dogs in Mirima National Park: Bushwalkers advised to stay alert

Bushwalkers going into Mirima National Park alone have been advised to carry a big stick after reports of aggressive dogs.

Parks and Wildlife staff have placed two traps in the southern parts of Mirima National Park after receiving a report of aggressive dogs in the area on February 19.

Any dogs caught in the traps will be checked for microchips as the area closeness to Kununurra means they could be pets entering the park

People are being warned to always supervise children and vulnerable people in the park, remain alert and not approach feed or lure animals.

A Department of Biosecurity, Conservation and Attractions spokesperson said rangers were continuing to liaise with the Shire of Wyndham- East Kimberley to monitor the situation.

Wild dogs are an ongoing problem in the Kimberley particularly to cattle on pastoral leases. They are a threat not only to livestock but to native mammals, reptiles and birds.

People who see a dog displaying aggressive behaviour in Mirima National Park are advised to contact the Parks and Wildlife Service office on 9168 4200
