If you would like stats on the "effects of dogs and wildlife"...Google exactly that.
There is plenty out there.
Not just about dogs running at large but just walking dogs on leash in wildlife areas can have detremental effects.
If you think that domestic dogs that are at large run alone think again,usually they will team up with other dogs.
Fido + Fifi and Rover = ...a pack
I have a friend who lost a calf to a "pack" of domestic dogs...a beagle, a terrier mix breed and a mutt about the same size as the beagle...maybe 60lbs of dog total.
Imagine the potential of a Lab,German Shepard and a Rottie...?
