I do think of the puppies, the kittens, the piglets & all those other feral things out there. I particularly like the little pigs...delicious!! Haven't tried puppy yet :lol:
I'm curious for those who shoot feral dogs whether you distinguish a difference between Dingoes & feral dogs that have come from domestic stock or whether you shoot regardless?
There are very few pure dingos left on main land australia and any dog seen is shoot.
Would all depend on the area that the 'pure' dingoes are found in. Dingoes are not universally protected species in Australia and it varies between each state as to their protection status. In Queensland they are protected inside of National parks and other protected areas such as State forests and conservation parks (in saying this there is one park in Northern Queensland where they are being removed to help protect an endangered wallaby species). Anywhere outside of these areas they are a declared pest and its perfectly fine to hunt them pure or not. There are also very few ways to distinguish pure dingoes from hybrids and wild dogs. Main one I know is through skull morphometrics which is not possible in the field and without the skull.Hypothetically if there were a 'safe' number of pure Dingoes left?
