Citronella Spray: Australia Post's New Weapon Against Dog Attacks

Australia Post deploys citronella spray to combat rising dog attacks on postal workers. Australia is facing a growing problem with dog attacks on postal workers. More than 44 workers are attacked each week, an average of nine per day. In response, Australia Post has introduced a citronella spray as a last line of defense. The spray, which is water-based and considered safe, has proven 80% effective in a trial. "It's a significant step in protecting our employees," said an Australia Post spokesperson. The rollout of the spray is expected to significantly reduce the number of injuries to postal workers. This initiative highlights the importance of responsible pet ownership and the measures being taken to ensure the safety of essential workers.
