Wild Dogs Act

The Wild Dogs Act, initially passed in 1912, was a piece of South Australian legislation regarding wild dogs and dingos in Australia, and subtitled An Act to provide for the Destruction of Wild Dogs. This act led to an economy of dingo scalping to collect bounties.[1]

This act was followed by updates and amendments, including 1931, 1938, and 1948.[2]
