“…Whether cluster fencing can be regarded as a nonlethal management tool is questionable because the practice results in killing of dingoes remaining in or entering the area, along with herbivores that compete with livestock for feed (Clark, Clark, & Allen, 2018). Other wildlife can be injured or killed by the fences through entanglement, and fences have ecological consequences in acting as a barrier to wildlife movements (Allen & Hampton, 2020; Smith, King, & Allen, 2020; Somers & Hayward, 2012). We are not aware of any financial support being available to livestock producers who wish to use nonlethal management methods such as livestock guardian animals or improved animal husbandry to protect livestock from dingoes in Australia, although a small proportion of farmers do use these methods voluntarily (Binks, Kancans, & Stenekes, 2015; van Bommel & Johnson, 2012) and not all livestock producers choose to engage in lethal dingo management (Binks et al, 2015; van Eeden, Dickman, Crowther, & Newsome, 2019).…”
