My first dog was a dingo. Very sweet, but my parents had to put her down after she bit a pregnant lady who entered our backyard while nobody was there. Otherwise my dad (who is not a citizen) would have gotten his green card removed. :( i miss her.
i have a pedigry dingo, 3 quater's alpine 1 quater tropical her name is shyla, very loyal and cute they eat anything they can live of cricket's and lizard's that's what shyla was eating befor i got her of these dodgy breeder's they had alot of dingo's poorly looked after.
Tourists feed the wild dingos, which attracts them to the camps. They are wild animals and should not be encouraged with food, much like bears in the US.
@ janetlw a dingo could attack and possibly kill a small child.
@magikempress ignorance is bliss. People on fraser have fed dingoes since the original selections taken in 1935 FACT until DERM banned feeding and removed all food sources. There were no attacks between 1935 and the day of DERM taking over. FACT. I am a local and have spent many years with the dingoes of fraser people making wild statements like yours help to demonise a gentle animal that has co habited with humans for over 1000 years. GET EDUCATED don't listen to sensationalist journalism.
@extramural I have friends that live on Fraser island and you are right the rangers don't know shit about the dingoes and the culling of then is linked to more dingo attacks cos of the pulps not getting trained by parents. This makes ms ashamed of being ausie
Sorry about the multiple post, one more thing. The Australian Gov don't even cull the Dingo knowing any of the family groups ie they will indiscriminately shoot any dingo on site thus destroying the family gene that has seen the purebred Dingo survive thus interbreeding could take place making the situation worse. Feeding stations are a great idea and they could perhaps sterilize some of the females if breeding gets out of hand.
You're talking rubbish. Most of the dingoes are identified as pups and wear bright ear tags. The Rangers know the packs really well and can ID a dog from 100 meters. There are NO dingo culls on Fraser Is. When a dingo gets used to being fed and starts attacking children (4 incidents this year), the animal is euthanased with a tranquilizer dart. Better to lose the odd dog than see another child killed as happened in 2001. Like other wild dogs, most dingo pups are killed by dominant males.
Go bury your head in the sand. Who told you this? There was a big cull recently, your out of touch. The Rangers I spoke too don't have a clue what to do and are only yes men to other departments and don't have a say in the matter. The Gov tries to fix the problem like it always dose, half arsed...
@gillianking You are truly a victim of media lies-as a local of fraser I can assure you that dingo culls do happen. They use a 22 rifle. And during denning season when the pups are too young to leave the den "selective burn offs"are organised at known den sites. Have you ever heard puppies screaming as they burn alive? Usually mum dies too as she refuses to leave them,the rest of the family unit mourn for days and weeks after.
They attract the dingo with a scent taken from dead wolves anal gland to one location where they then shoot them. Unfortunately the doco I saw on this has been hidden from the public as there was some backlash and rightly so.
This vid will be rare and much like the Tasmanian Tiger footage showing the last one in captivity the Australian Dingo will be no more.
The trouble with Fraser is it has several barges that take 4x4 vehicles over by the thousands and they have huge fishing comps on the Island. Because allot of politicians fish and own huge 4x4's you can see why saving the Dingo is not a priority. The Purebred Dingo on Fraser is the last pack and have been decimated due to poor management. They should keep the place open but better manage by education but alas it won't happen unless we have a go.
Why is there no food on the island? No squirrels, raccoons, etc? How big is Frasier Island and can it be accessed by foot or only by boat? Would a Dingo attack a small child or pet? Thanks=just wondering from Florida, USA
There is lots of food for the dingoes - they live on bandicoots, lizards, small critters of all kinds. Without them, there would be a bandicoot population explosion!
@breakmyface THERE ARE NO FEEDING STATIONS- The queensland gov. have a policy to starve them all so the tourists can feel safe. The natural food sources are gone due to the gov. Until the gov stepped in there were NO dingo attacks on fraser. The death of a lad in 2001 was due to the dingo's tooth severing an artery. The victim was throwing rocks etc at the dogs and the juvenile dog nipped him.
This won't happen as the people who are in charge don't have the skills to better manage the Dingo. They are shot on site now on the Island and no one cares. There needs to be better management. Queenslanders need to take note that their beloved Dingo will be wiped out very soon. You would be very lucky to get this type of video of a Dingo these days on Fraser as at least 80 have been shot in the last year alone.
For extramural: After reading your comments about the shooting of these animals on the spot, surprised the heck out of me. Yes, I am a Animal Nut, so to speak, but I thought Australia was passionate about their wild animals. So, why wouldn't they just relocate these critters?
@janetlw Sanctuaries around australia asked for the dogs when the fences went up. DERM chose instead to send rangers in and they shot every dingo within the fenced area, Rangers complaining about the treatment of the dingoes have lost their jobs on fraser.
yeah he's a bit skinny. See the bit where he is walking down the boatramp and trips. Then he looks around to see if anyone was looking. It's so funny.

its suprising dingo's have lasted so long on the island,theres no animals there that a dingo would usually hunt for on the mainland.
better to feed em at a feeding station than let em die out.

I agree. Stop the campers from feeding them and stick to the stations only.
