Dingo's Den - Save The Dingoes
Save The Dingoes
Dingoes deserve our protection, and it is important that more people understand why. Every year, around 5,000 Dingoes are killed, mainly because they are seen as a threat to livestock by farmers and workers. They are often baited, poisoned, or shot, which is a huge problem.
What people do not always realise is that Dingoes actually play a crucial role in protecting livestock by controlling the population of feral animals like cats, foxes, and rabbits. These invasive species can do more damage to farms and the environment than Dingoes ever could. By keeping these pests in check, Dingoes help maintain a healthy ecosystem.
Unfortunately, many farmers see Dingoes as pests themselves, which is an unfair and shortsighted view. Dingoes are part of the Australian natural heritage and have been living here for thousands of years. They are not a nuisance; they are an essential part of the Australian biodiversity.
Dingoes are unique because they are one of the oldest and most distinctive wild dogs in the world, having lived in Australia for thousands of years. Unlike domestic dogs, Dingoes have a more independent nature and a higher level of intelligence, allowing them to survive in some of the harshest environments on the planet.
