Thread: Dingo Visitors

Why do people feed native animals, don't they realise it's not good for them, as beautiful as they are, it's not a good idea.

In many parts of the world it is considered a good thing (i.e. assisting conservation) to feed wild animals.

I am not saying I agree...

They wander through the centre of town here after dark.

Have been more prevelant since October 1998 when the dog laws came in to force and dogs could no longer roam the streets.

They also knock over wheelie bins.

That's a good healthy looking dog Craig. Season must be pretty good over there too.

Dingos are not really native like say a Koala , as they were SE Asian "kampong" dogs which came with the traders. I had a kampong dog in Malaysia that was for all intents a Dingo, and it was a great dog.

Just like domestic dogs, if you get them in a pack they can be dangerous. I also met a domestic Dingo in Sydney at the dog beach and it was a great dog, but they do like eating chooks.

However I was at the spot of one supposed attack on Fraser where a bitch attacked some English tourist kids. I saw some kids chasing some pups down at Hooke point . Apparently the bitch bit them. Big surprise.

And the way tourists treated them was appalling. I saw people feeding tidbits on the sand then kicking sand in the face of Dingos when they went to fetch it. My nephew's mother in law lived at Happy Valley and used to feed them. I think she was fined thousands of dollars.

Even that dog you have a photo of does not look pure to me with the black muzzle, suggesting German Shepherd cross. If you google Dingo you will see virtually all the images show a white muzzle.

Start of shift last week while i was doing my pit inspections i seen a dingo run up the stairs of a 3600 digger , it really ****ed me off because these guys must be feeding them up there.

People think they are being kind by feeding these animals buy in reality it is going to kill them when they send in the trappers to distroy the poor buggers.

I too agree with Bearman,a nice condition western,and pretty close to the written standard for the breed 1:1

Yeah like the majority of them probablly crossed with something else (Black Muzzle) but still regarded as a Dingo. There are about 6 of them all up. I think they are a recent litter from last year.
