Luke Grant talks to Dr Rob Zammit, Veterinarian from VineYardVet.com.au. about multiple investigations underway across two states after several dogs died in apparent cases of baiting.

The penalty for baiting varies between states, but if a person is found responsible they could face possible jail time.

Advice to avoid such tragic episode to your beloved pets is to not to let your dog scavenge while they are out for a walk. If they fall ill, contact a vet immediately.

Symptoms to look out for include disorientation, the loss of coordination, tremors and trouble breathing.
