Texting to fight wild dogs

Text message technology is being trialled in Victoria (Asutralia) to fight wild dogs, reports ABC.net.au..

"Antennas have been attached to traps, which then send out a message to wild dog controllers after a dog has been caught.

The trial aims to speed up the time it takes to check traps, as currently they are monitored every three days in case a dog has been snared."
