Non-indigenous humans could also be regarded as an "invasive species" given their killing of native animals eg roos & koalas.

Wonder if this is the beginning of the end of protection sport: We inform you about the regulation of the Federal Minister of Health regarding detailed provisions on the training of dogs in accordance with animal welfare regulations, Federal Law Gazette II No. 56/2012, which is amended as follows: The following paragraph 4 is added to Section 2: "(4) The training of dogs for protection purposes (protection dog training) as well as other comparable training and sporting activities of dogs which involve aggressive behaviour directed against humans or against objects carried by humans or biting training directed against humans are prohibited. This ban does not apply to the training of dogs that are proven to be used as service dogs by the federal government, biting or gnawing at objects that are clearly distinguishable from the human body, such as ropes, balls, Frisbees or similar objects, as well as the continuation of these types of training if they were started with the dogs in the last six months before the entry into force of this regulation and if complete signal control over the trained behaviour has not yet been achieved; these trainings are permitted solely for the purpose of achieving signal control over the behaviour, must not encourage any further attack behaviour or biting training directed against humans and must in any event be completed by 1 September 2025 at the latest."

Being buried does not guarrantee being dug up at some stage in the future for human or animal. E.g. Sydney Town Hall and Central railway station were built on the site of cemetries. I had two dogs buried in what was an established pet cemetry on a rural property because I knew I would be selling my current home at some stage. Trouble is the property was sold a number of times and the current owner no longer allows public access to tend the graves. In a 100 years the place will probably be subdivided for urban development.

Even if they are microchipped, pounds don't seem to check pedigree databases to get in touch with breeders for possibility of take back. Last year I adopted a gsd from the local pound and managed to contact his breeder via searching his microchip no on a pedigree database. Turned out the dog was LR with Dogs NSW. His breeder was not happy that the dog ended up in the pound as the puppy sale contract stipulated return to breeder if unable to keep.
