Every day Dingoes are living under threat❗️
Don't sit back and just hope others will do something..
You can do plenty....We need to get the Dingo listed as a threatened species in all other states and taken off the vermin list before it's too late...
People are needed to support the Dingo not just facebook likes❗️
Far from being vermin, Dingoes sustain biodiversity and help land managers control invasive species. They are key elements in the struggle to reduce damage caused by foxes and feral cats.
Dingoes control kangaroo populations without the need for culling and supress foxes and feral cats. That's why ecosystems with Dingoes have better vegetation and more diverse and abundant populations of small native mammals.
Any person can write to their parliament members.
It's time that all Australians show concern for our environment....
As far as the farming industry is concerned they need to listen.
1st point is the decline of the sheep industry is not driven by Dingoes.
2nd point is Dingo control (poisoning, trapping and shooting) is associated with increased densities of wild herbivores which leads to reduced cattle condition and fertility through competition for pasture.
It's not rocket science....The restoration of Dingoes provides net benefits for rangeland vegetation and profit margins of cattle pastoralists.
There's less than 1% cattle stock loss from Dingoes when pack structure is maintained!
It definitely is about time that graziers woke up to the REALITY we have all known for so long - livestock losses due to predation is minimal and can be reduced far more effectively by using readily available non lethal methods, improving husbandry practices and that Dingoes are not the enemy of the graziers, in fact Dingoes can be one of their best allies by regulating other herbivore populations and impacting on mesopredator numbers and behaviour. Australia has “Ridden on the sheep’s back” for many, many decades now❗️
If you can't love them at least respect them, they have the same right to life and protection as you❗️
Dingoes need our protection and understanding more than any of our other native animals. They are constantly maligned and unfairly blamed for the misdeeds of others. We NEED the Dingo❗️
His presence actually helps the farmer by controlling feral animals such as cats, foxes and wild pigs.
The Dingo is our best friend if we will allow him to be❗️🐾🐾
