A pest animal is an animal that was either originally domesticated and escaped into the wild or an animal brought from its native environment into a foreign one. Most feral animals were brought to Australia to control a different pest population.
There are feral animals thriving on the Northern Beaches and Council is responsible for controlling these populations.
