I can beat that story In the 70's Dad after giving up farming used to run sheep on our hills property which was 100 ares.

Neighbours (about 1 km away) dogs used to come over and maul the sheep, Dad spoke to them about it and got told to F off so phoned up the police station in Mundaring to ask what he could do about it.

The Sergeant and a Constable came out in uniform to have a chat.

Dad invited them in and offered the officers a beer which they happily accepted.

The Sergeant got straight down to business told Dad to yard some sheep wait for the dogs to set foot on the property and shoot them no questions asked.

Afterwards Dad went back to the neighbours and told them the legal status and that he would be forced to shoot the dogs if they kept mauling the sheep, got told to F off.

Anyway dogs got shot neighbours had to come a remove the carcases end of story but a sad day for all.

Some years later switched to cattle as more people moved in and let their dogs roam free.

That would never happen now.
